Cael Sanderson, a 2004 Olympic Gold medal-winner and often considered one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of sport, will participate as a clinician at the annual Brian Anderson Little Giants Wrestling Camp to be held June 9-14 at Wabash College.

Sanderson, currently the head wrestling coach at Penn State University, was a four-time NCAA champion and posted a perfect 159-0 record while competing at Iowa State University. He earned the 2002 ESPY Award as Best Male College Athlete, was a finalist for the James E. Sullivan Award in both 2002 and 2004 presented to the top amater athlete in the United States, and was a three-time Dan Hodge Award winner as the top college wrestler in the nation. As a college coach, he guided the Nittany Lions to the 2011 and 2012 NCAA Division I wrestling titles.

"This is probably one of the best lineups of clinicians we have ever had at our camp," Anderson, the Wabash College head wrestling coach and camp director, said. "Cael Sanderson is one of the top names in wrestling. He's accomplished everything you could dream of in our sport — achieving success at every level. Jordan Burroughs, the only US World Champion in 2011 and a two-time national champion will also be teaching at the camp before he heads to London to compete in the 2012 Olympics. Terry Brands, a two-time world champion, Olympic medalist, and assistant wrestling coach at the University of Iowa, Kevin Jackson, a four-time All-American, two-time world champion, Olympic Gold medalist, and current Iowa State head coach, Indiana native Reece Humphrey, a three-time Indiana state champion and US Open champion, and David Taylor, national runner-up, Big Ten champion, and Big Ten Freshman of the Year, will all be joining us as instructors throughout the camp.

"The lineup is thick with talent. We're excited about all of them being available to teach our campers. Any one of them would be headliners at any camp. It's pretty cool to have all six of them here at the same camp."

Registration is still open through June 4. The costs range from $175 for the Youth Commuter Camp to $475 for the Intensive Camp Overnight instruction sessions. Camp registration and additional information is available at www.wrestlingindiana.com.

Anderson's prior experience with former camp instructor Henry Cejudo allowed the Wabash coach to serve as a technical editor for Cejudo's new book from the "For Dummies" series, Wrestling For Dummies. 

"When Henry and the editors first approached me with the idea, I wasn't sure that was the right position for me," Anderson said. "When I found out my responsibilities would be to break down the technique and make certain the instruction was clear and concise and was explained well, I signed on board.

"It was a great opportunity and was the first time for me to be involved at any level in the book publishing business. I really viewed it as a way to promote Wabash College wrestling in a different way."

The promotion worked. In addition to being credited as the technical editor, Anderson convinced the editors to add his wrestling camp to the chapter about the top-ten camps around the country to attend.

"That was the one request I had the opportunity to make when we started editing the camp section. I kind of begged a little bit to see if the Wabash camp could be added to the list. The editors had no problem accomodating my request, and even change the title of the chapter to 'Ten (plus one) Wrestling Camps You Should Consider Attending.' I was thrilled to have our Wabash camp listed with some of the best wrestling camps in the country."

Copies of the book are available at book sellers throughout the United States.
