Trump at NCAA wrestling championships: What to know
The president is in Philadelphia to attend the final rounds of the tournament.
President Donald Trump has arrived for the final rounds of the 2024-25 NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia on Saturday.
Trump walked into the Wells Fargo Center and was greeted by a raucous crowd from the wrestling fans, who cheered "USA! USA!" as the president walked in. A few fans booed when Trump walked in.
Elon Musk, OutKick founder Clay Travis, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., and several other Trump allies were in the front row stands to greet the president as well.
For the president, it marks another stop on his tour of major sporting events in what has been a sports-focused presidency.
Trump is there to potentially witness sports history. Penn State is looking to extend its streak to four straight national titles. It would be the third time Penn State has won four straight championships since 2011. Only Iowa and Ohio State have interrupted the Nittany Lions' run of dominance.
And Penn State is firmly in the driver's seat to do it, leading with 169 points, 60 points ahead of second-place Nebraska.

"We're going to the big fight. … They have the NCAA, world, wrestling for college. And I've always supported the wrestlers," Trump told reporters outside the White House Friday. "So, I want to support them. These are the great college wrestlers from the various schools. I think Penn State is leading, and Nebraska is in second place right now. And a lot of good things."
