Cael Sanderson

PC: Eliana Aponte

Cael Sanderson is known as one of the greatest wrestlers, and coaches of all time. Sanderson is currently the head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions.

During his time at Penn State he has been able to build one of the biggest dynasties in college sports history.

As a wrestler Sanderson to this day is the only one to win 4 national titles without ever losing a match collecting 159 wins for Iowa State.

His run on the international scene was short lived but dominant. He won the 2003 world cup, but took silver at the 2003 world championships.

At the 2004 Olympics he would be beyond impressive as he defeated Cuban Yoel Romero as well as Moon Eui-Jae of South Korea to win Olympic gold.
