NCAA Wrestling: First ever 5-time champ?
The NCAA grants athletes four years of eligibility, a window through which they strive to achieve greatness in their respective sports. This period is often extended for various reasons such as redshirts—be it medical, Olympic, or other types. However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 brought a unique disruption to the collegiate sports calendar, leading to the cancellation of key events, including the highly anticipated 2020 NCAA Wrestling Championships. To compensate for this unforeseen setback, the NCAA granted all athletes an additional "free year" of eligibility for the 2020-2021 season. This decision offered a unique opportunity, particularly for Penn State's 174-pound wrestler, Carter Starocci, then a freshman.

It was deemed historically significant, and therefore shared with the general public.

The stands, now silent, had once roared with every graceful pass and powerful strike he had delivered. The decision to retire had not come lightly, but the time had arrived. His mind wandered through the labyrinth of memories, each step down the corridor of his life illuminated by the glory of his achievements.
