Guy Cipriano – gciprian@centredaily.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The sights and sounds of last weekends PIAA Class AAA Wrestling Championships captivated one group of interested observers.

Penn State head coach Cael Sanderson and assistants Casey Cunningham and Cody Sanderson made stops in Hershey between the Nittany Lions’ preparations for the NCAA Championships, which begin Thursday in Omaha, Neb. The three-day event represented one of the few major tournaments Cael Sanderson, a four-time undefeated NCAA champion and Olympic gold medalist, had never attended.

“It’s a really impressive tournament,” he said Monday. “I didn’t really get a feel for what it takes even to make it to states until I was there. You look at the quality of every round. It was tough right out of the chute.

”Sanderson spent last Thursday evening and Friday in Hershey with Cunningham, the program’s assistant head coach and lead recruiter. Associate head coach Cody Sanderson watched the tournament’s conclusion with Cunningham, who rarely left a Giant Center suite occupied by veteran Pennsylvania wrestling fans.

Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> Dylan Alton used a seventh-place finish his freshman year to motivate him to reach greater heights. Three years later, it’s safe to say the strategy worked.

Alton, a Central Mountain senior and the nation’s top-ranked 152-pound wrestler, won his third consecutive state gold medal with an 11-4 decision over LaSalle’s Shane Springer for the Class AAA title on Saturday night at the PIAA Wrestling championships.

Alton and Central Dauphin senior Marshall Peppelman joined an exclusive club when each won a third career title at the Giant Center. Only 45 wrestlers in Pennsylvania history have won that many crowns, and of that group, nine are four-time champions.

The combatants spent the first period feeling each other out before Marino started a competitive second two minutes with an escape. Megaludis then took the brief lead with a takedown, Marino took a 3-2 edge with a reversal and Megaludis tied it with an escape entering the final period.

The defending state champion controlled the action from there with an escape and two takedowns to secure another PIAA title.
