PSU wrestling book published

UNIVERSITY PARK — In his 10 years at the helm of the Penn State wrestling team, coach Cael Sanderson has led the Nittany Lions to a run of success rarely seen in NCAA wrestling or any other collegiate sport. A new book written and published by the Penn State Wrestling Club, “Dawn of a New Era,” details the first decade of the second century of Penn State wrestling, including the first nine years of Sanderson’s tenure. “Dawn of a New Era” supplements the book that chronicled the first 100 years of Penn State wrestling, “A Century of Penn State Wrestling,” which also was written by Penn State Wrestling Club members and published in 2008.

It contains facts, stories and photos from Penn State’s first season of collegiate wrestling in 1909 through the 2007-08 season. The Penn State Wrestling Club, which was founded in 1981, is the official booster club of the wrestling team. The group organizes trips and pre-match socials, sells team-related clothing and supports the student-run Wrestling Affiliate Club.

“When we wrote the Century book, it was meant to commemorate the historic milestone of 100 years as a Penn State sport,” said Connie Christiansen, the chair of the PSWC’s Historian Committee. “As the Sanderson era started to unfold, we thought it would be appropriate to write a supplement to the original.  Rest of the story at http://www.lewistownsentinel.com/sports/penn-state/2019/08/psu%e2%80%88wrestling-book-published/?mc_cid=c98ec4a62d&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
