Sanders captured the title at 66 kg/145.5 lbs. and was named Outstanding Wrestler in Greco-Roman at the inaugural Minnesota Storm Holiday Cup on Saturday in Rochester, Minn.

In a battle of two of the top Greco-Roman stars in the nation, Sanders defeated RaVaughn Perkins 0-2, 3-0, 5-0. Sanders is a member of the U.S. Olympic Education Center team at Northern Michigan.

Sanders placed third at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials. He won titles this year at the Dave Schultz Memorial International and the University Nationals.
