CDT: Friendly fight

Sanderson drops former teammate for PSU’s lone title

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Penn State’s Cyler Sanderson and Purdue’s Colton Salazar started training together as five-year-olds in Wasatch, Utah, far away from the glare of major events such as the Big Ten Championships.

Both wrestlers had big dreams. But facing each other in a Big Ten final? No way, they thought.

On Sunday, the once-unthinkable happened, as Sanderson and Salazar wrestled for a 157-pound title in Crisler Arena, 1,600 miles from their Utah homes.

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

ATLANTIC CITY – Hank Stinson electrified the crowd of 8,500 at Boardwalk Hall watching the NJSIAA state individual wrestling championships Sunday.

Trailing by 5-3 with five seconds remaining in the 140-pound bout, the Eastern High wrestler scored a takedown to tie the match, 5-5, and registered back points for a 7-5 victory.

The fans roared as Stinson ran in a circle, waving his arms in victory, while Willingboro’s James Green, who had led throughout most of the bout, sat defeated in stunned disbelief.

NJ.com: Eastern’s Stinson comes on late to edge Green for state title at 140 pounds

March 8, 2010 | Author: UncleLar

BILL RAWSON, March 07, 2010

Hank Stinson’s 140-pound final was the first bout of the NJSIAA state championship round, but it was okay if any of his fans had not quite settled into their seats yet for the opening whistle.

Because once again, the Eastern senior displayed a penchant for dramatics on the state’s biggest wrestling stage and did his damage in the match’s waning moments.

Stinson trailed by two points before taking down Willingboro’s James Green and recording two back points in the bout’s last 10 seconds to emerge with a 7-5 victory and snare his second state title. His late feats erased a 5-3 deficit.
