HEAD COACH CAEL SANDERSON THE PENN STATE YEARS Cael’s fi rst season at Penn State was solid. Sanderson led Penn State to a 13-6-1 dual meet record, much improved over the prior year’s 8-12-2 mark. After a year outside the top 10, Sanderson led the Lions back to their place among the nation’s elite with a ninth-place fi nish at the NCAA Championships and a No. 10 fi nal dual meet ranking from the NWCA Coaches. Sanderson picked up three more All-Americans (including a national fi nalist) and a Big Ten Champion in younger brother, Cyler Sanderson. In 2010-11, Sanderson reached the pinnacle of the collegiate coaching mountain by guiding Penn State through a stunning season fi lled with records, championships and memories that thrilled the Penn State faithful. Sanderson led the Nittany Lions to their fi rst-ever Southern Scuffl e Co-Championship and fi rst Virginia Duals Championship since 1991. While guiding Penn State to a 6-1-1 conference mark, Sanderson equaled the highest Big Ten dual meet wins in Penn State history (1998). He led Penn State to the school’s fi rst ever Big Ten Championship and was named 2011 Big Ten Coach of the Year. He became the fi rst coach in NCAA history to be named both the Big Ten and Big 12 Coach of the Year.
