Penn State fares well at Edinboro Open

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Eleven members of the Penn State wrestling team headed north to take part in the 2010 Edinboro Open and eight of that group earned places at the event.  Red-shirts David Taylor (St. Paris, Ohio), Jake Kemerer (Greensburg, Pa.) and Quentin Wright (Wingate, Pa.) all earned titles.

Each of Penn State’s entrants was unattached at the non-traditional tournament and, since bouts were not of regulation length (six minutes with three separate two-minute periods instead of seven minutes); none of the results count on the wrestlers records.

CDT: Intriguing field ready for open

Guy Cipriano

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State’s starting lineup, precocious freshmen and recent signees are in.

Other top-25 teams such as Lehigh, Missouri, Virginia, Virginia Teach and Pitt are bringing most of their lineups.

Some of Centre County’s current and past high school stars will be there, too.

And if you listen to Penn State coach Cael Sanderson, it took little selling to construct the massive and intriguing field for Sunday’s Nittany Lion Open at Rec Hall.

Collegian: Records on line at Nittany Lion Open

By Brendan Monahan

Collegian Staff Writer

Collegian jenkins ortegaTrue freshman David Taylor jogged back and forth from the end of the blue and white mat to the wall that read “Penn State Wrestling.”

As Taylor approached the wall another time, he jumped and kicked off it — attempting what looked like a karate move on the immovable object. Warming up next to Taylor was Brad Pataky, who focused straight ahead, seemingly unaware of any karate moves or other people jogging beside him.
