You know how most areas have a kids “kick and chase” soccer program for anyone old enough to walk? PA does that with wrestling. There’s youth wrestling programs for any age, so by the time PA kids get to college they’ve literally been doing it for over a decade.

Yep, PA and NJ both have established youth programs that a majority of states do not. Getting started in wrestling at 8 yrs old instead of High School is a huge step up on top of the very strong wrestling culture in both states
