Cyler Sanderson: Big Ten Champion

That’s right, everyone’s favorite interestingly-named Penn State wrestler finished a perfect run at the 2010 Big Ten Championships to bring a title to Happy Valley.

Sanderson used three takedowns to dominate Purdue’s Colton Salazar, the top seed at 157. The title is Penn State’s first Big Ten Champion since Phil Davis claimed the crown in 2008. Sanderson becomes Penn State’s 20th Big Ten Champion (among 14 different wrestlers). His 3-0 mark at the tournament sends him to nationals with a 28-4 record.

Sanderson, who is in fact Head Coach Cael Sanderson’s youngest brother, is just the start of the new wrestling regime at Penn State. Though two years without a Big Ten Champion isn’t exactly a drought, it’s certainly a promising achievement for the program within a year of a coaching change. Now here’s the question – which of the Sanderson brothers gets top bunk as a reward?

Gorman Abruptly Resigns

Head coach of the men’s soccer program Barry Gorman unexpectedly announced his resignation Monday. He leaves a legacy of 22 years of coaching and three Big Ten titles in his wake. Citing “personal reasons,” he has left the team to a nation-wide search for his successor.

“We expected Gorman to be there,” [rising Senior and Co-Captain Andres] Casais said of next season. “He was a father figure to us.”



Oof, that can’t feel good. The move isn’t completely out of the blue, as Gorman was periodically absent during the past few weeks without notice. But from all accounts, his intention to resign was only revealed yesterday. On the abandonment scale, this registers just slightly above “going to the store for some cigarettes and never coming back.”
