It was a night of sports history. It was a night of supreme sports drama. It was a night that wrestling can be proud of.    The 2002 NCAA Div. I Championship finals, held at the Pepsi Arena in Albany, N.Y. will be one of those events that people will tell their children about, and say "I was there."    The history was the coronation of Cael Sanderson of Iowa State, who became the first wrestler in history to win four NCAA titles undefeated. When Sanderson, in his amazing style of dominance, defeated Lehigh's Jon Trenge in the 197-pound finals by a 12-4 margin, the arena erupted in sound, a standing ovation that lasted for minutes on end.     As expected, Sanderson was named the Outstanding Wrestler of the NCAA Championships, the fourth straight year that he earned the top award at the competition. The humble native of Heber City, Utah had transformed the sport. His match was shown live on ESPN, and highlights of his achievement were shown nationally on SportsCenter all night. The athlete who pursued perfection had reached it.    To those who attend the NCAA meet each year, the entire finals was spectacular. There were numerous very close and competitive matches, with some unexpected results. It was as if every athlete in the event raised the level of their efforts and were part of one of wrestling's shining moments.    The team race was won by the Univ. of Minnesota, which had actually clinched the title in the morning consolation rounds. It was Minnesota's second straight team title. However, last year, the Gophers won the title without a single finalist. This time, J Robinson's team boasted a pair of individual champions Jared Lawrence (149) and Luke Becker (157).    Lawrence scored the only takedown in a 3-1 win over Jared Frayer of Oklahoma. Becker, who is Lawrence's roommate, defeated Bryan Snyder of Nebraska with an escape in the second overtime tie-breaker, 5-4.    It was also a night that Iowa State can be proud of. Going into the finals trailing Oklahoma for the battle for second, with just a slim hope of catching the Sooners, the improbable happened. Iowa State won all three of its gold-medal finals as Sanderson, Aaron Holker (141) and Joe Heskett (165) captured titles.    Holker, seeded No. 5 coming in, opened it up on No. 2 Eric Larkin of Arizona State, in a 10-5 win. The key move was a third-period takedown that gave him a 9-5 lead with little time for a Larkin comeback.    Heskett, who lost twice in the NCAA finals previously, closed his career with 4-2 win over talented Matt Lackey of Illinois. Heskett broke a 2-2 tie with just three seconds left on a re-shot off a Lackey scoring attempt to claim the gold medal in his final college match.    For Iowa State to take second, Oklahoma had to lose its two finals matches, which also happened. First came Lawrence's win over Frayer. Then, in the most unexpected turnaround in recent memory, Sooner Josh Lambrecht, leading 14-3 in the third period, was thrown and pinned by Lehigh's Rob Rohn with just 13 seconds to go in finals at 184 pounds.    There are very few pure "knockouts" in NCAA Championships finals, but when Rohn used a move he calls the "special," which he says is a version of the "cement job," to catch and pin Lambrecht, he proved that no wrestling match is ever over until time runs out.    The event also featured the final appearance of one of its greatest lightweight stars, as Fresno State's Stephen Abas won his third career NCAA title. He won the 125-pound finals with a crisp 8-4 win over Luke Eustice of Iowa, with three clean takedowns as the difference.    Oklahoma State's Johnny Thompson, a runner-up last year as a freshman, claimed his first NCAA title as a sophomore with a razor-thin 5-4 win over top-seeded Ryan Lewis of Minnesota at 133 pounds.    A freshman also came home with a NCAA title, as talented Greg Jones of West Virginia won all of the takedowns in an impressive 12-5 victory over Princeton's Greg Parker in the 174-pound finals. Jones' older brother Vertus was a NCAA runner-up for the Mountaineers, and Greg brought home the family's first NCAA title.    The heavyweight match went down to the overtime tie-breaker, with Ohio State's Tommy Rowlands riding out Iowa's Steven Mocco to capture the gold medal and close out a magical evening of wrestling.    For those who were not there, the historic win by the classy Cael Sanderson makes this a sports night to remember. For those who were there, the entire evening will be something to be cherished forever.
