Put those airpods in and come aboard the Zain Train! Listen to the interview here.

Former Penn State wrestler Zain Retherford qualified for his second World team by sweeping Cornell’s Yianni Diakomihalis at Final X: Rutgers Saturday, although his win is under dispute at the moment and could be reversed. Wrestling for the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club, Retherford avenged a loss to Diakomihalis in the US Open finals by winning bouts 10-4 and 6-6 on criteria.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- At this point in his career, Zain Retherford doesn't need any more accolades or championships to cement his place among Penn State wrestling greats. He's won the Dan Hodge Trophy, two straight national titles and now his third straight Big Ten title, along with winning his program record 89th straight match.

Zain Retherford kicked things off for Penn State’s stretch of five finalists against Lock Haven’s Ronnie Perry . Few doubted Retherford wouldn’t repeat, it was a matter of would he score bonus points for the team race.
