PPG: Wrestling icon leans on Penn State’s Paterno for input
“We’;re not trying to get in the Top 10. … We’re trying to win it all.”

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Cael Sanderson was a college wrestling legend at Iowa State.
He never lost a match, going 159-0 en route to capturing four NCAA titles. He also won a freestyle gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.
In April, Penn State pulled off one of the biggest shockers in college wrestling history, hiring Sanderson away from his coaching position at his alma mater.

UNIVERSITY PARK — The new coach brought along his big and little brothers, one of his closest friends and heralded recruits who initially committed elsewhere.
Throw it all together, and Penn State’s cur rent wrestlers operate in a serene environment.
Instead of being quizzed about last year’s struggles, they field questions about coach Cael Sanderson, the four-time NCAA champion and Olympic gold medalist who replaced Troy Sunderland in April.

Lehigh coach Pat Santoro can relate to what Penn State’s Cael Sanderson has experienced the past seven months.
Santoro started his Mountain Hawk tenure last year, replacing longtime coach Greg Strobel. Santoro led Lehigh to a 23-1 dual meet record and a 28th-place finish at the NCAA Championships in his first season.
“There’s a lot of excitement that comes with a new staff,” Santoro said Wednesday. “Penn State should get a little boost from it.”
Santoro hopes the boost doesn’t come when the Nittany Lions and Mountain Hawks (1-0) meet Friday at Stabler Arena.

Cael Sanderson grew up fishing.
When the Penn State wrestling team’s coach goes on vacations, it’s still one of his favorite things to do.
