 Roger
B. Sanders '64
National Champion Wrestler
Hometown: Fairless Hills, PA
High School: Pennsbury
One of the greatest wrestlers in West Chester University
history, Roger Sanders’ career in coaching and competition
spanned four decades, numerous accolades and hundreds of victories.
As a competitor for the Golden Rams during the 1960’s,
Sanders claimed the College Division National Championship in
1964 while serving as team captain. He was a three-time Middle
Atlantic Conference 157-pound Champion (1962-64) and was unbeaten
in all dual meets from 1960-64.
His coaching career may have been even more impressive as he
compiled 300 wins, predominantly at Bloomsburg University. Sanders’ teams
produced a fifth-place finish at the Division I Tournament (1987),
eight PSAC Championships and two Eastern Wrestling League titles.
Individually, Sanders’ wrestlers have claimed 47 PSAC
titles, 27 EWL crowns, six Division II All-American honors and
nine NCAA Division I All-American accolades. A professor at Bloomsburg
University, Sanders was the president of the National Wrestling
Coaches Association from 1987-93.
