'To' is right in this sentence.
Because: Superior, Senior, Junior, Inferior, are the words of Latin language,, So 'To' is always follow after these words.
Use of 'Than' is wrong here
Thanks sir

When we senior,junior, minor etc. between two noun or two gerunds we use to with them .If we senior ,junior,minor etc between two infinite we use "rather than".
pls. explan its rules
I think senior to is wrong because this sentence show comparison between two noun so we must use " then" not "to". please explain

@Sarathkumar, given sentence is in past tense so was has been used. @Sidesh
No need to use TOO.
The preposition 'to' is correctly used and use of TOO is discretionary.
