144 DIVISION I Wrestling DIVISION I 2002 Championships Highlights Gophers Golden Again: In the end, Cael Sanderson was perfect. The Iowa State senior completed his record-setting college career by win- ning his 159th match without a loss, claiming his fourth-straight NCAA title. The 197-pound Sanderson caught Jon Trenge by the ankle, turned it into a double-leg takedown and put the Lehigh sophomore straight to his back for a near fall, going on to score a 12-4 major decision. More than 13,000 fans at Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York, gave Sanderson a standing ovation that lasted nearly five minutes. The champi- onship was held March 22-24.
