The 2007 Dave Schultz High School Excellence winners announced for all 48 states First female ever selected
STILLWATER, Okla. -- The National Wrestling Hall of Fame & Museum in Stillwater, Okla. has announced its 2007 state winners of the Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award. This annual award is bestowed upon high school seniors who demonstrate excellence in wrestling, scholastic achievement, character, citizenship, and community service. Among the winners selected from the 48 states that sponsor high school wrestling championships is the first female wrestler ever to win the Dave Schultz Award, Randolyn “Hoku” Nohara from Kamehameha School in Honolulu, Hawaii. Nohara recently won her fourth consecutive Hawaii State Wrestling Championship in the 220-pound girls division. A world-class power lifter, she also set 12 world records in the bench press and dead lift. She will attend the University of Hawaii next fall on a softball scholarship. “I know that I have been given some ability and I try to honor that by working as hard as I can to make the most of it,” Nohara said. “It is a great honor to be the first female to win this award.” The award, named in honor of Olympic and World Champion Dave Schultz, has recognized 482 wrestlers since its inception in 1996. “A graduate of Palo Alto High School and the University of Oklahoma, Dave Schultz was one of the greatest and most well-liked high school, collegiate, and international wrestlers the United States has ever had,” said Lee Roy Smith, Executive Director of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Regarded as a tireless competitor and supreme tactician on the mat, he was beloved throughout the world of amateur wrestling for his friendliness and eagerness to lend help or advice to teammates and opponents alike. Schultz was inducted into the sport’s Hall of Fame as a Distinguished Member in 1997. This year the National Wrestling Hall of Fame & Museum will expand its Dave Schultz High School Excellence program to include a Leadership Camp for those individuals selected for the award. “Thanks to a grant from a private foundation, we are pleased to expand this program and provide the winners of our Dave Schultz Award with the opportunity to attend an all-expense-paid Leadership Camp at the United States Olympic Training Center from June 18-21, in Colorado Springs, Colo.,” Smith said. The camp will be hosted and organized at the Olympic Training Center by USA Wrestling (USAW), the sport’s governing body. “USA Wrestling is equally excited to join the Hall of Fame in fulfilling the requirements of this program by providing a World Class program at the Olympic Training Center for the student-athletes chosen to participate in this camp,” said Rich Bender, USAW Executive Director. “The camp agenda will include instructional sessions with our freestyle and Greco Roman national coaches and wrestlers, and will also feature presentations on sport psychology, strength and conditioning, nutrition, leadership development, and public speaking presented by experts in the field.” Part of the foundation’s funding criteria requires that, after the camp, the award winners speak to at-risk youth in their communities on the benefits of participating in extra curricular activities like athletics. Smith said the leadership and public speaking sessions will help the student-athletes prepare to fulfill this responsibility. “These student-wrestlers are role models in their communities and have an opportunity to influence young people in a very meaningful way. Statistics show that both male and female students are more likely to stay in school, graduate, and become more productive citizens when they are involved in extra curricular activities and after school programs like sports, art, debate and music.” Five regional winners will be selected from the 48 state winners on April 23, and from that group, one individual will be selected as the national winner. The national winner will be invited to Honors Weekend, June 1-2, in Stillwater, Okla. to receive the award. Following are the 2007 winners and their high school, listed by state: Alabama / Derek Carmichael / Prattville High School Alaska / Hollan Gravely / Colony High School Arizona / Kyle DeBerry / Sunnyside High School California / Boris Novachkov / Fremont High School Colorado / Sonny Yohn / Alamosa Connecticut / T.J.

The National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum has announced the winners of four of the major awards that it presents each year during its annual Honors Weekend. Each of these awards recognize special contributions to the sport in specific areas.

The 2006 award winners are:

·       Outstanding American Pat Day of Louisville, Ky.
·       Order of Merit - Larry Sciacchetano of Baton Rouge, La.
·       Medal of Courage - Randy Meyer of Sheboygan Falls, Wis.
·       Outstanding Official - Sam Williams of Fall Creek, Pa.

These award winners will be recognized during the annual Honors Weekend Banquet and Induction Ceremony June 3, 2006 in Stillwater, Okla. They will be honored along with the four new Distinguished Members of the Hall of Fame that will be inducted this year: Terry Brands, Josh Henson, Tricia Saunders and Pat Smith.

Kentucky Derby winning jockey Pat Day has been named to the Hall of Outstanding Americans, which demonstrates wrestling's pride in those who have used the disciplines of the sport to launch notable careers in other walks of life, such as science and technology, business and industry, government and the military, the arts and humanities, among others.

Day, is one of the greatest professional jockeys in history. In 2005, after a 32-year riding career, he retired after he won 8,804 races, fourth on the all-time list. He earned an estimated $297,941,912 through racing, and passed the retired Chris McCarron as the all-time earnings leader in 2002. He won the 1992 Kentucky Derby aboard Lil E. Tee and was a runner-up at the Kentucky Derby four times. As a wrestler at Eagle Valley High School in Gypsum, Colo., Day posted a career record of 77-7, winning a state title and two state runner-up finishes.

Former USA Wrestling president Larry Sciacchetano has received the Order of Merit, which is presented to an individual who has made significant contribution to the advancement of wrestling, other than success as an athlete or coach. The winner is selected by a vote of the Distinguished Members of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Sciacchetano is currently the United States' representative on the FILA Bureau, which manages international wrestling. He is currently the President of the FILA Hall of Fame Commission, and was a driving force for the development of a Hall of Fame for international wrestling. Sciacchetano served two terms as president of USA Wrestling, from 1994-98. Under his leadership, USA Wrestling had success in international wrestling and experienced growth in its membership. Sciacchetano was a respected coach on the college and international levels. Sciacchetano coached nine years at Louisiana State (1975-85), leading the Tigers to seven Southeast Conference titles. He served as assistant coach of the 1993 U.S. World Team, which won the first World Team Title for the United States.

Meyer, who was blinded at the age of two by retinal cancer, is currently the mayor of Sheboygan Falls, Wis. and has achieved remarkable success in many endeavors. He receives the Medal of Courage, which is presented annually to a wrestler or former wrestler who has overcome what appear to be insurmountable challenges, which may be physical, mental or other handicaps that make his or her achievements all the more uplifting.

In spite of this blindness, Meyer overcame great challenges in his academic development. He wrestled at Sheboygan Falls High School, where he qualified for the state championships three times, placing fifth in the state during his senior year. He then wrestled at the Univ. of Wisconsin-Whitewater, earning Div. III All-American honors, placing eighth at the national tournament in 1989. Meyer owns RM Financial Resources, a successful financial planning business. He served as an Alderman on the Sheboygan Falls City Council for five years, prior to his election as mayor. In 2005, the U.S. Junior Chamber named him one of the year's Ten Outstanding Young Americans.

Williams. a top official in international, high school and college wrestling for almost 40 years, was selected for the Lifetime Achievement for Officials award, which recognizes outstanding service as a wrestling or pairing official or judge. Inductees are honored in the Vince Zuaro Officials Room at the Museum.

Williams was one of the founders of the U.S. Wrestling Officials Association (USWOA), the national organization for international wrestling officials. He was considered one of the top referees in the East, and worked matches at many levels, both in the international style and the U.S. collegiate styles. Williams worked major collegiate competitions, including the NCAA Div. II and NCAA Div. III National Championships. In Olympic-style wrestling, Williams officiated international dual meets and exchanges and served as head of officials for three states (Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut).

Complete biographies of the inductees will be posted each day this week on TheMat.com (www.themat.com), with Day on Tuesday, Sciacchetano on Wednesday, Meyers on Thursday and Williams on Friday.

Journalists seeking detailed biographies of any of the inductees can receive them by e-mailing Gary Abbott at gabbott@usawrestling.org
