Cael Sanderson’s Penn State wrestling team made history at the NCAA Wrestling Championships on Friday night at Wells Fargo Center. The Nittany Lions’ three wrestlers who lost quarterfinal bouts – Luke Lilledahl (125), Braeden Davis (133) and Tyler Kasak (157) – all won their first consolation bouts, guaranteeing them All-American status.

On a damp night in late January, one of college wrestling’s storied dynasties, a feared team that won two dozen national championships under legendary coaches, rolled into the Bryce Jordan Center to prove a point.
