UNIVERSITY PARK — The sights and sounds of last weekends PIAA Class AAA Wrestling Championships captivated one group of interested observers.

Penn State head coach Cael Sanderson and assistants Casey Cunningham and Cody Sanderson made stops in Hershey between the Nittany Lions’ preparations for the NCAA Championships, which begin Thursday in Omaha, Neb. The three-day event represented one of the few major tournaments Cael Sanderson, a four-time undefeated NCAA champion and Olympic gold medalist, had never attended.

“It’s a really impressive tournament,” he said Monday. “I didn’t really get a feel for what it takes even to make it to states until I was there. You look at the quality of every round. It was tough right out of the chute.

”Sanderson spent last Thursday evening and Friday in Hershey with Cunningham, the program’s assistant head coach and lead recruiter. Associate head coach Cody Sanderson watched the tournament’s conclusion with Cunningham, who rarely left a Giant Center suite occupied by veteran Pennsylvania wrestling fans.
