Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson focused on strong finish at 2020 Big Ten Wrestling Championships

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — All week long Cael Sanderson professed that if all went according to plan, Penn State would have a chance to contend for and potentially even win the seventh Big Ten title of Sanderson's tenure.

For the most part, that happened.

The Nittany Lions will see five wrestlers contend for Big Ten titles during Day 2 of the 2020 Big Ten Wrestling Championships and even saw No. 14 seed Brandon Meredith upset No. 3 seed Patrick McKee at 125 pounds to open the tournament.

And yet, after the first day of the Big Ten Tournament the Nittany Lions see themselves in fourth place with 93.
