Former Penn State wrestler Cary Kolat — who competed in the 2000 summer Olympics and was a three-time World Cup gold medalist — has been plenty busy with the sport over the years.
He was a four-time state champ at Jefferson-Morgan High School, the Big Ten Wrestler of the Year as a sophomore in 1994 and a two-time national champ after transferring to Lock Haven as a junior. He’s since taken over the reigns of Campbell University’s wrestling program, right outside of Raleigh, N.C.
Amid a busy wrestling schedule, preparing his team for the Reno Tournament of Champions on Sunday, Kolat took some time to talk to the Centre Daily Times about the current Nittany Lions, the rise of the Bald Eagles and more.
