Former Panther was four-time All-American, national champion
By JIM LUTGENS
Editor/Publisher
For years, Matt Petsinger was an automatic win for the NRHEG wrestling team.
A varsity member for six seasons, he finished his high school career with a remarkable record of 179-30 with 131 falls, three state tournament appearances and two runner-up finishes at state. A fierce competitor, Petsinger was also a Junior National Greco-Roman runner-up.
The Minnesota Gophers, however, never called.
It left a bit of a chip on Petsinger’s shoulder, but four years later he was redeemed with the Division II national championship at 157 pounds, completing a remarkable run of four consecutive All-American performances at Minnesota State University-Mankato.
On Oct. 9, he entered MSU athletics immortality, being inducted into the college’s sports hall of fame.
