Editor’s Note: This is the third story in a look at Penn State recruits competing in the 2010 PIAA Wrestling Championships

HERSHEY — The first practice of Andrew and Dylan Alton’s varsity careers started with a hilly four-mile run through land behind Central Mountain High School.

The twins don’t ease into athletic tasks, so Andrew and Dylan took off with teammate Corey Poff, a member of the school’s cross country team.

A designed jog turned into a grueling test of endurance. Neither Alton wanted to lose.

Not to a trained runner. Not to a teammate.

Poff returned to the high school first. Sprints in the wrestling room ensued.

A mentality was established. The run marked the beginning of a four-year sprint, one that culminated Saturday night with the Altons leading Central Mountain to its first PIAA Class AAA team title.
