Guy Cipriano
UNIVERSITY PARK — Jake Kemerer and the rest of Penn State’s redshirt wrestlers sit in bleachers behind the home bench during meets at Rec Hall.
Watching teammates is becoming a tired practice for Kemerer, a true freshman 165-pounder.
“It’s kind of a hard,” he said. “But it’s kind of a preview for next season.”
To prepare for 2010-11, Kemerer, along with some other high-profile teammates, are abandoning the bleacher seats saved for tonight’s home finale against Michigan State.

Penn State put together an up-and-down day at Sunday’s Nittany Lion Open, as Cael Sanderson’s squad claimed three individual titles but had the opportunity for even more.
Frank Molinaro, Cyler Sanderson and David Erwin all finished on top of their respective weight classes, while Brad Pataky and David Taylor claimed second-place finishes and Dan Vallimont and Quentin Wright snagged third-place honors.
Overall, Penn State claimed place-winners in eight of 10 weight classes.
CDT: Feeling fresh
Recharged Erwin, Molinaro each capture valuable victories

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State senior David Erwin hasn’t been in Ohio since his teenage years, so excuse him for possessing no pre-tournament knowledge of Edinboro’s Chris Honeycutt, another former Buckeye state star.
By early Sunday evening, Erwin knew all about Honeycutt, including how to defeat the wrestler two of his younger teammates couldn’t master.
Erwin used guile to edge Honeycutt 9-8 in the 184-pound final of the annual Nittany Lion Open at Rec Hall. He was one of three Penn State veterans to capture titles. Rejuvenated Frank Molinaro cruised to the 149-pound title while senior Cyler Sanderson edged freshman teammate David Taylor 8-7 in an entertaining final at 157.
