CDT: Kemerer, redshirts antsy for mat time

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.

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.”

By Ron Musselman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

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.
