York Dispatch: Local wrestler celebrates national crown

By NATE WILKINSON For The York Dispatch

He’s not very flashy.

He’s the kind of kid who often answers questions with a “Yes sir” or “No ma’am,” a farm kid who’s not afraid of a good day’s work and results that might not be seen right away.

So when Chance Marsteller wins a wrestling match — and he almost always does — he’s not much for theatrics. It’s a raised arm and a hand shake and a quick walk to the next match, wherever it may be.

No matter that his first varsity wrestling match is still five months away.

Chance Marsteller, a rising Kennard-Dale ninth-grader, continues to turn heads from one elite tournament to the next, one state to another.

How good is he?

Good enough that InterMat Wrestling, a national website, just named him the top incoming freshman wrestler in the United States, regardless of weight class.

McCook (Neb) Daily Gazette: Bison standout accepts Penn State wrestling offer

McCook High School senior Nate Morgan (second from right) gets ready to sign a national letter of intent to join the Penn State University wrestling program during a special ceremony Monday afternoon at the Senior High School gymnasium. Nate's parents, Mike and Jill Morgan (left) and Bison head wrestling coach Nich Umscheid (far right) joined Nate at the ceremony. Morgan capped a perfect season by winning the 119-pound gold medal at the Nebraska Class B State Wrestling Championships last February in Omaha.

Penn State University has one of the rising young stars in the collegiate wrestling coaching ranks, and perhaps the best college wrestler that has ever stepped on a mat, heading the Nittany Lions mat program.
