Penn State's Carter Starocci defeated Northern Iowa's Parker Keckeisen in sudden victory in a matchup of returning national champions.

That wait was more than worth it as Penn State’s Carter Starocci, a four-time NCAA champion eyeing an unprecedented fifth, took down defending 184-pound champ Parker Keckeisen of Northern Iowa 93 seconds into the sudden victory period to break a 1-1 tie and prevail 4-1.

The Nittany Lions' four-time NCAA champ can make Division I wrestling history in 2025. 'I just love wrestling, and that’s honestly why I chose to come back.'

In last year’s National Wrestling Coaches Association’s All-Star Classic, Penn State was a combined 4-1. The results were the same in Saturday night’s edition of the All-Star Classic, but with one difference.

Penn State went 4-1 Saturday night at Rec Hall in the NWCA All-Star Classic, a lineup of high-profile exhibition matches featuring some of the nation's best collegiate wrestlers. Shayne Van Ness, Tyler Kasak,
