"Cael Norman Sanderson" is an American college wrestling coach and current head wrestling coach of Penn State University. He is considered one of the greatest United States/American amateur wrestling/amateur wrestlers in recent history. A 2004 Summer Olympics/2004 Olympic champion in Athens, Greece, he went undefeated in four years of college wrestling at Iowa State Cyclones/Iowa State University (159–0), winning four consecutive NCAA titles (1999–2002). He is the only wrestler in NCAA Division I history to go undefeated in official matches with more than 100 wins. Sports Illustrated named his college career as the second most impressive college sports feat behind the setting of four world records by Jesse Owens in a single hour at the 1935 Big Ten track and field conference championship meet.

In five years as Penn State Nittany Lions Wrestling/Penn State's head coach, Sanderson has led the Nittany Lions to four-straight conference titles, four straight national titles, collected 19 All-Americans, eight national champions, three Gorriaran winners, one two-time NCAA tourney OW and one two-time Hodge Trophy winner.

When Coach gets emotional, I get emotional, and I felt that with him. The emotion was all about Coach Douglas ... I know it's a heavy burden, but I'm more than happy to carry that.

I'm introduced today as Iowa State's wrestling coach because of the selfless sacrifices of my college coach, Bobby Douglas. I promise to work as hard as I did as a competitor to build upon the traditions I've inherited as head coach. Iowa State University is a special place to our family. I'm humbled and excited at the same time about my opportunity.

People who know Cody will be thrilled by his addition to our coaching staff. He knows Iowa State ... and will bring unique experience to the wrestling room. He did a lot to help our wrestlers during his time in Ames.
