VEISHEA Keynote – The Pursuit of Excellence

Cael Sanderson

Friday, 11 Apr 2003 at 12:00 pm – Central Campus

Cael Sanderson was the first wrestler to finish his entire college career undefeated. Sports Illustrated named this achievement as the No. 2 most outstanding in the history of college sports. He competed for Coach Bobby Douglas at Iowa State University, was a four-time NCAA champion, and won the ESPY Award for outstanding college male athlete his senior year. He is on the World free-style wrestling team working toward the World Cup Trials in April and the 2004 Olympics in Greece.

Stay for the entire event, including the brief question-and-answer session that follows the formal presentation. Most events run 75 minutes.

Sign-ins are after the event concludes. For lectures in the Memorial Union, go to the information desk in the Main Lounge. In other academic buildings, look for signage outside the auditorium.
