It’s been more than 11 months since Quentin Wright earned All-America status as a true freshman with his sixth-place finish at the 2009 NCAA championships.
Though he hasn’t donned the Penn State singlet since that time, the Nittany Lion 184-pounder still made his presence felt on the mat this season while going 14-1 as a redshirting unattached wrestler.
Just six of his 15 bouts went the full time, as Wright pinned nine of his opponents.
“That’s my goal,” Wright said. “[I want] to go out there and pin the person and get off the mat as fast as I can

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Six members of the Penn State Nittany Lion wrestling team, including top red-shirts, competed at the National Collegiate Open at Clarion on Saturday. True freshman David Taylor (St. Paris, Ohio) and red-shirting All-American Quentin Wright (Wingate, Pa.) won titles at 157 and 184 pound weight classes respectively.

CDT: Sanderson has Lions cooking on the mat
A few thoughts, while wondering if the snow will be gone before May:
Many years ago, a former college wrestling coach was asked about how his team would do that season.
His blunt response — put in a little kinder language here — came in cooking terms and that how it would be difficult, given his team’s current ingredients, to make chicken salad.
I think most of you get the drift here.
Well, Cael Sanderson must have gone to a different culinary school. The first-year Penn State wrestling coach is on par with Emeril Lagasse or Bobby Flay.
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: Kemerer, redshirts antsy for mat time

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.
