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.

OF THE MORNING CALL

Cael Sanderson may be the golden boy of wrestling, but tonight will give him his first real taste of ''Eastern'' wrestling when Penn State and Lehigh meet for the 98th time in the series history.

Sanderson, the only collegiate wrestler to go undefeated and win four Division I NCAA titles in his career, who then went on to win an Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling, left his head coaching job at alma mater Iowa State after last season to take the reins at mighty Penn State.
