NCWA- Round Of 16 Set At NCWA National Duals

DALTON, Ga. – Lindenwood-Belleville made the most of its first trip to the National Collegiate Wrestling Association’s National Duals, pulling off one of the day’s most impressive wins in a 23-21 upset over The Apprentice School (Va.). All but two of the top eight seeds each won their first-day matches, setting up the round of 16 in Saturday’s championship bracket at the Northwest Georgia Trade and Convention Center.

Lindenwood-Belleville was seeded 14^th coming into the tournament. The Lynx thumped Toledo in its opening match, 63-0, then came back three hours later and won a tense match over No. 3-seed Apprentice, where three matches were decided by injuries or penalties. Lindenwood-Belleville’s win sets up at 9 a.m. match Saturday against No. 13 seed Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Top-seeded Liberty, new to the NCWA and a former NCAA Division I program, advanced with two wins over Carroll (Wis.), 48-12, and Wichita State, 43-16. The Flames will face Southern Virginia tomorrow in the round of 16.

Lindenwood-St. Charles, another of the NCWA’s newest program, swept two matches from Cincinnati, 55-6, and Southern Virginia, 60-0. The Lions face Wichita State to start tomorrow’s action.

No. 4-seed Central Florida advanced with two wins, and will face Apprentice, the three-seed, in the next round. The teams have split two duals this season, with Apprentice winning the most recent match at the Virginia Duals earlier this month.

Marion Military Institute (Ala.), the No. 9 seed, topped No. 8 seed Georgia Southern 51-3 in the day’s only other upset among the seeded teams. MMI will face No. 7 seed Mercer in the next round.

NCWA- Liberty Rallies To Overtake Lindenwood For Title

DALTON, Ga. – Liberty University took advantage of a forfeit late in its championship match and converted wins in the final three bouts into a national title as it topped Lindenwood-St. Charles, 25-15, to clinch the NCWA National Duals in its first year of eligibility.

The teams jockeyed through four lead changes in the first seven matches before Lindenwood’s forfeit and six-point gift at 184 pounds gave Liberty the lead for good at 16-15. It also allowed Liberty to bump its 197-pounder, Nick Knowles, to 235 to take on Lindenwood’s Spencer Daniels. Aaron Thompson of Liberty set up what would become the decisive match with a close 3-2 win at 197, then Knowles beat Daniels 7-2 to clinch the title for Liberty.

Liberty’s Andrew Wilson won the heavyweight match 4-2 for the final 25-15 count.

Lindenwood-St. Charles, undefeated in its other matches, had to forfeit the 184 class throughout the two-day tournament due to injury.

“We had scouted them and saw that they had been giving up that weight,” said Liberty coach Jesse Castro. “We felt it was our best bet tactically.”

Liberty won seven of the 11 matches in the final, held at the Northwest Georgia Trade and Convention Center.

Liberty, the top seed in the tournament, had been an NCAA Division I program before the school discontinued the scholarship program last year. The NCWA provided a home for the Flames’ program and allowed them to keep their program alive and its wrestlers on campus.

The Flames withstood a stiff challenge from Maryland-Baltimore County in the semifinals, taking a 25-21 win.

“My hat’s off to the UMBC team,” Castro said. “They made us compete with everything we were worth, and we did not anticipate that. It’s a testament to this association, and the vision the NCWA has is real encouraging and inspiring.”

It was the first NCWA competition of the season for Lindenwood-St. Charles, which was seeded No. 2. LSC is a former NAIA program competing within the NCWA during its transition seasons toward future NCAA Division II membership. Prior to the final the Lions stormed past the rest of the competition, with its closest match being a 29-point win over Grand Valley State (Mich.) in the semifinals.

LSC’s Blayne Shockley opened the championship match with a 16-0 technical fall over Liberty’s Jeremy Beale. The Flames’ Scott Clymer responded two bouts later with a 9-0 major decision over Jacob Janes that put Liberty back in front, 7-5. But LSC’s Craig Chiles topped Peter Crawford, 3-0, to put the Lions back in the lead at 8-7 four matches in. There were no pins in the match.

“I was impressed with the level of competition here,” said LSC coach Chad Smith. “We knew we were going to have to give up that weight due to injury, so it was up to the rest of them to pick up the scoring. I couldn’t be prouder of how our guys wrestled here.”

UMBC, seeded fifth, jumped ahead of Grand Valley State with a fall and a major decision in the first three matches, and beat the Lakers 31-10 in the third-place match. Kriss Dutt opened the match with a fall in 1:49 at 125 pounds, and Brian Samuels topped MattMorrill 8-0 at 141 for a 13-0 lead that wouldn’t be challenged.

Lindenwood-Belleville edged The Apprentice School 27-22 for fifth place. Lindenwood-Belleville is also in its first year of NCWA membership. The teams scored back-and-forth victories early on before Lindenwood-Belleville stretched its lead to 21-10 in the middle weights. But it took a 5-2 decision at heavyweight by Jacob Gregg to seal the win.

In the inaugural high school division, Alabama’s top-ranked team, Thompson, swept two duals from Bradley Central (Tenn.) and Grissom (Ala.). Thompson and Grissom are 1-2 in the most recent Alabama state poll. Grissom topped Bradley Central 42-21 in the other dual in the round-robin format.

The multi-state high school division served as a springboard toward a vision of having an NCWA-sponsored high school national duals tournament in the future in which every state would send a duals champion to the event.

Liberty and Lindenwood-St. Charles are among the favorites at the 2012 NCWA Championships, set for March 8-10 in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Off the mat, the NCWA assisted the Dalton community with its 6:12 Project, in which the association’s wrestlers perform service projects in the cities that host its championship events. NCWA wrestlers and staff served meals at Dalton’s City of Refuge homeless shelter on Friday, and conducted a canned food drive on Saturday that brought in more than $1,000 worth of food for the shelter.

“The community involvement of the NCWA was something new to us,” Smith said. “It’s impressive, and they did a great job of drumming up community support for this event.”

NCWA - National Collegiate Wrestling Championships hosted by the City of Daytona Beach, FL.

NCWA is proud to announce that its 2012 National Collegiate Wrestling Championships will be held March 8-10 in beautiful Daytona Beach, FL.

This three-day, six-session event was moved from Mercer University in Macon, GA due to facility scheduling conflicts. After a thorough search, the NCWA chose Daytona Beach as Host City for this 15th annual event. "The Daytona Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) really stepped up when we needed a new facility" said NCWA Executive Director Jim Giunta. "The CVB’s Tara Hamburger and the Ocean Center convention center’s Tim Buckley pulled out all the stops in order to bring NCWA wrestling to Daytona Beach."

The University of Central Florida and the University of North Florida will act as college institution co-hosts, as 475 qualifying wrestlers from the U.S. and Canada converge on the Ocean Center for this exciting competition.

While the event officially begins at 9 a.m. Thursday, March 8, wrestlers, coaches, event organizers and their families will begin arriving in Daytona Beach several days early. They look forward to enjoying a some beach time, attractions and relaxation during their spring break vacations.

"Spring is an exciting time and a busy time here in Daytona Beach,” explains Hamburger. “Our annual return visitors like to book their stays early, for spring family vacations and of course, for world-famous Bike Week. To best accommodate our college wrestlers and their families the CVB is currently working with NCWA and local hoteliers to block the needed rooms. We advise attendees to book now for the best pricing and availability.”

NCWA recommends that teams book their rooms as soon as the official NCWA Room Block website is launched next week. Room rates outside the NCWA Room Block may increase as the event approaches and room supply begins to dwindle. For further Information on The National Championships or its Host City contact:

NCWA HONORS 147 STUDENT-ATHLETES ON ALL-ACADEMIC TEAM

NWCA supports the NCWA’s inclusion in association’s post-season scholarship awards

DALLAS – The National Collegiate Wrestling Association joined its collegiate wrestling brethren this year in honoring the top student-athletes within its association. This marks the first time that the NCWA has awarded postseason scholastic honors to its thousands of wrestlers competing at its 140 member schools.

The 147 honorees listed below are from the NCWA’s combined Division I and Division II ranks, and include 10 student-athletes from the NCWA’s women’s division. The NCWA is the only collegiate wrestling association to offer postseason championships and scholastic honors to female wrestlers.

Mike Moyer, executive director of the National Wrestling Coaches Association, welcomed the NCWA’s involvement with the end-of-the-year awards. “The coaches association supports programs that enhance the academic side of a student-athlete’s experience in wrestling. The NWCA is glad to have the NCWA on board with the academic awards this year.”

The NWCA sponsors the NCWA’s academic awards as well as those for the NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA.

The NCWA’s top academic honors went to its 21-member Scholar-Athlete Team representing student-athletes who exceeded the NCWA’s criteria for its All-Academic consideration. Former California Baptist head coach John Petty assembled the NCWA academic teams. The University of Georgia led the way with four members of the Scholar-Athlete Team – Mark Feeley, Russell Holzgrefe, Frankie Miller and An Pham. Florida had three wrestlers on the team with Zachary Boucher, Bryan Brown and

Mark Koski. Central Florida, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) had two each.

Among the NCWA honorees on either team, first-year NCWA member California Baptist led the way with seven wrestlers, including Caleb Gerl on the Scholar-Athlete team. Colorado State, Georgia, Marion Military Institute and Mercer had five each, and six schools had four each.

“It’s exciting for us to recognize our top scholars and student-athletes,” NCWA executive director Jim Giunta said. “We congratulate this year’s All-Academic teams, and hope that this program can serve as a benchmark that all of our wrestlers will aspire to in the future.

“The NCWA is about providing opportunities in wrestling, both on and off the mat,” Giunta said. “We’re happy to recognize achievers who excel in the classroom as well as the mat.”

The inaugural NWCA-NCWA All-Academic Teams are listed on the following pages.

HAMPTON, Va. – Central Florida used its depth to overcome a disastrous start to the day, rallying past The Apprentice School in the placing rounds to claim the National Collegiate Wrestling Association title.

UCF did not have a wrestler in the finals Saturday at the Hampton University Convocation Center, but utilized two thirds and four fourth-place finishers among its eight All-American placers to win its first national title in five seasons. It was a Jekyll-and-Hyde performance for the Knights, who saw a 15.5-point lead over defending champion Apprentice evaporate in one session as UCF wrestlers went 0-for-8 in which all five semifinalists lost.

The Knights rallied with a perfect 6-for-6 sweep in their mid-day consolation rounds that guaranteed at least six top-four finishes. Christopher Hauser became a two-time All-American with a third-place finish at 174 pounds, and Richard Rippy also placed third for an All-American finish for a third straight season. Alexander Chiricosta (125), Steve DeAugustino (133), Michael Dominguez (235) and Daniel Rowe (285) took fourth.

“If the morning was Jekyll, then we definitely prefer the Hyde,” said long-time UCF coach Johnny Rouse.

The key to UCF’s rise came in the quarterfinals where it advanced six wrestlers into the semifinals.

Apprentice stormed back to take a 104-100 lead into the mid-day session, but failed to earn enough wins in the semifinals to keep up with UCF’s depth. Ty Holley won the national title at 141 pounds and repeated as an All-American. Marcus Chevres lost in the title match at 133 to Shane Gentry of the U.S. Naval Academy Prep School, 7-1. Matt Perry beat teammate Patrick McIntosh for third place at 157.

The tournament’s Most Outstanding Wrestler went to John Aikens of Grand Valley State, a senior who finished a 29-1 season by pinning his way to the 197-pound title. Aikens was a two-time NCWA All-American from 2006-07, but took two years away from school and wrestling. He pinned MIT’s Joe Silverman in 1:21 for the championship, and had falls of 39 and 43 seconds in the first two rounds, then 2:05 and 4:31 in the quarterfinals and semifinals.

“It’s great to be in a room with as much tradition as Grand Valley does,” Aikens said. “That’s what helped me get back in shape and into the flow again was going against those guys every day and all the support the program has. I wasn’t focusing on getting pins, but I know I’m good on top and I’ve had a lot of pins this season.”

Grand Valley State placed among the top five teams for a 10^th consecutive season.

Perhaps the best championship match came at 165 pounds, where Aaron Hynick of Wichita State scored a reversal with 16 seconds left to take a 6-4 win over Dustin Tancredi of West Chester. Southern Illinois-Edwarsdville secured the highest finish in its NCWA history with 107.5 points in third place. David Devine led the way for the Cougars with a national title at 285 pounds, and Brendan Murphy took third among its program-record six All-Americans.

Another of the tight finals matches came at 157 pounds, where two-time defending champion Peter Rose fought off a takedown in the closing seconds to earn a narrow 7-6 win over Andrew Ritchie of Northampton Community College. Rose had already clinched his fourth All-American finish, making him only the 16^th wrestler in NCWA history to accomplish the feat.

The U.S. Naval Academy Prep School placed fifth with 81.5 points, leading a group of five military-oriented schools among the top 10 teams in Division I. Shane Gentry won the national title at 133 pounds, and Carter Adams (165) and James Mannier (184) took third in their respective brackets among Navy’s five All-Americans.

Marion Military Institute (Ala.) was seventh with 58 points, followed by the U.S. Air Force Academy Prep School (47.5, eighth) and the U.S. Military Academy Prep School (41, 10^th). Combined the military schools had 13 All-Americans.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a former NCAA Division III program competing for the first time in the NCWA, won the Division II title with 64.5 points. The Engineers put two wrestlers into the finals, earning one national champion in Grant Kadokura at 125 pounds and a runner-up in Joe Silverman at 197. MIT had four All-Americans in all including Ryan Madson at 165 (fourth place) and Luke Schiefelbein at 174 (seventh place).

MIT also had a wrestler in the women’s division in Elena Glassman, who took second at 130 pounds.

Yakima Valley CC Rolls to Women’s National Title

Yakima Valley boasted six national champions within the eight weight classes and coasted to the women’s championship with 76 points. Douglas College (B.C.) was second with 12.5 points. Yakima’s champions were Tamika Jones (unopposed at 105 lbs.), Cady Chambers (112), Ashlee Phy (130), Drrue Partridge (148), Monique Dilliner (159) and Lizzie Salcedo (176).

Kelli Rasmussen of Winona State (121) and Sarah Morten of Douglas (139) also won national titles.

The NCWA is the only association in college wrestling to award a women’s division national championship.

Medals Make Long Trip Worthwhile

Douglas College made the longest trip to get to the NCWA Championships, and it paid off for the school in New Westminster, British Columbia. Raj Rai placed sixth at 141 pounds and Arjan Gill was eighth at 197 to give the Boxers two All-Americans. Douglas also placed second in the women’s team standings with a national champion in Sarah Morten at 139 pounds.

Other tournament notes: The NCWA’s Southeastern Conference and North Central Conference tied for the most All-Americans with 17 each, followed by the Northeast (16), Mideast (14), Mid-Atlantic (13), Southwest (9) and West Coast (2). . . . Texas-Arlington earned its first All-American since 2007 when Ramond Ramirez placed eighth at 133 pounds.

NCWA Championships Preview Story

By Scott Farrell
NCWA Staff
It's a different point of view this year for defending champion The Apprentice School at this weekend's National Collegiate Wrestling Association Championships.

The Newport News, Va., school is usually the challenger, not the champion, at the national tournament and has the silver to prove it.
Four times from 1999-2006, the Builders were NCWA runners-up, and they had nine top-10 finishes within the 11-year period prior to last year's tournament at nearby Hampton University.

Apprentice is golden now, but the title hunters enter the three-day tournament as the hunted, facing the same contenders that have denied them titles in the past. The Builders bring 19 wrestlers and four returning All-Americans to the tournament, which is at the Hampton University Convocation Center for a second consecutive year. There are 83 teams in the field, with 352 men and 36 women beginning their title quests Thursday morning.

Apprentice has a representative in all 11 weight classes, but so do Grand Valley State and
Central Florida, which have combined to win seven of the eight NCWA titles prior to Apprentice's win.

Call the Builders co-favorites with Central Florida and Grand Valley. UCF has the most conference champions with seven, and have three returning All-Americans in Steve DeAugustino at 133 pounds, Christopher Hauser at 174 and Richard Rippy at 197. The Knights have 15 qualifiers in all - NCWA rules allow a school to qualify more than one wrestler in a weight bracket to nationals, but must then declare only one wrestler for scoring purposes at the tournament.

That doesn't mean the non-scoring wrestlers can't take out a wrestler from one of the rival schools along the way, which is why Apprentice's 19 qualifiers compared to Grand Valley's 16 and the 15 from UCF and Marion Military Institute (Ala.) could potentially play as important a role as any.

Apprentice has last year's national runner-up at 133 pounds, Marcus Chevres, leading its four All-Americans along with Ty Holley (141), Matt Perry (157) and Will Harcum (165). Ricky Anderson (149) and Stuart Roes (197) were conference champions.
Grand Valley has four conference champions and two All-Americans - Michael Leonard at 149 pounds and Corey Melinn at 285 - among its 16 qualifers. UCF's Alexander Chiricosta (125), Nick Christian (165), Zumarr Archer (184) and Michael Dominguez (235) were conference champions.

Marion Military is a dark horse contender with wrestlers in 10 weight classes and a tradition that boasts top-five finishes the past three seasons. MMI has Michael Mullen back as an All-American at 285, and Brandon Westerman (141) and Jay Mitchell (149) won conference titles over UCF wrestlers.

Among other top teams with qualifiers in at least six brackets are Maryland-Baltimore County (nine), Oakland University (Mich.) (eight including returning All-American Garrett Johnson at 184 pounds), Winona State (seven), Southern Illinois-Edwardsville (eight), Colorado State (seven), Kennesaw State (six with defending national champion Ross Cravens at 174), the U.S. Air Force Academy Prep School (six), Northwest Missouri State (seven with returning All-American Craig Addison), and the U.S. Military Academy Prep School (six).

The three military academy prep schools took three of the top seven places at last year's NCWA Championships.

Among the individual contenders are Peter Rose (22-1) of Southern Virginia and Ryan Michaels (23-8) of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Both seek to become just the 16th and 17th four-time All-Americans in the NCWA's 13-year history. Rose is the defending champion at 157 pounds, and Michaels is in the same bracket after placing fifth last week at the Northeast Conference Championships.

Other contenders include defending 149-pound national champion Dillon Evans (17-3) of West Chester, and returning All-Americans Wade McCorkel (9-3) of Penn State at 141,
Andrew Ritchie (8-0) of Northampton Community College at 157, Eric Powell (11-5) of the Williamson School of Mechanical Trades at 157, Ben Harding (10-2) of Weber State at 184, and Alex Driggers (0-4) of Radford, who took sixth at 235 last year.

That list of All-Americans makes 157 pounds perhaps the toughest bracket, with Rose seeded first among four other returning All-Americans and five conference champions. How tough is 157? Two of last year's All-Americans - Powell and Michaels - didn't win their conference tournaments last week. Ritchie stayed unbeaten on the season by beating Powell for the Mid-East Conference Championship.

Among the expected team contenders, only Apprentice has a qualifier at 157 in Matt Perry, who was an All-American at 149 last year.

The NCWA Championships will have two sessions Thursday from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. and 6 - 9:30 p.m., and Friday (9-11:30 a.m., 5 - 9:30 p.m.). The NCWA Finals for the men's and women's brackets begin at 4 p.m. Saturday.

NCWA National Duals Results - Marion Military Wins First National Championship

Tournament win is MMI’s first national title in any sport in school history

SHELBYVILLE, TENN. – Marion Military Institute swept the final two matches with pins Saturday, breaking a tie in a close match to win its first National Collegiate Wrestling Association’s National Duals title. The championship, a 27-15 win over The Apprentice School, was the first in the Marion, Ala., school’s history, and marks the first time that a two-year college or university has won the NCWA National Duals.

MMI and Apprentice, the defending NCWA champions from Newport News, Va., went back-and-forth in the lead heading into the final matches. A 12-6 win by Apprentice freshman Stuart Roes at 197 pounds tied the match for a third time at 15-15. MMI’s Clint Smith earned a second-period pin in 3:18 to put the Tigers ahead, and heavyweight Michael Mullen then scored a pin in 33 seconds to give MMI the title.

It was the second clutch win in as many matches for Mullen. MMI, seeded fourth, took out top-seeded Central Florida 26-20 in the semifinals with Mullen earning the clinching points with another first-period pin. MMI swept through its military-heavy during Saturday’s early pool-play rounds, beating VMI (50-0), the U.S. Naval Academy Prep School (34-10) and Md.-Baltimore County (35-12).

Apprentice, seeded second, advanced to the final with a 30-15 win over West Chester, jumping out to an 18-0 lead with three consecutive falls to open the match. Apprentice, among the favorites to win the NCWA Championships in March along with UCF and MMI, won its pool matches over Dayton (53-3), Oakland (Mich.) (26-21), and tournament host Middle Tennessee State (43-15).

149: Jay Mitchell, MMI, def. Ricky Anderson, 7-5
157: Cody Bollinger, MMI, def. Matt Perry, 7-4

NCWA Coaches and Friends.

This years Vision Forum is upon us. In 10 days the shakers and movers in the NCWA will meet to, not only cast the vision for the future of the NCWA, but to spend a few days in sunny Dallas with friends, food and fellowship amoung our "wrestling family". I hope that all of you that were wanting to join us will be able to make the trip.
Attached is our most recent agenda. along with my message below to those of you that will be addressing the group. I believe we are on the verge of one of the greatest things to happen in wrestling in 30 years as the NCWA grows through the 200 team barrier and 3,000 wrestler level over the next 12 to 18 months. Those of you participating this coming week will be part of history as we shock the wrestling community with the next 10 years of unprecedented growth in all areas of wrestling. In communion with others in the wrestling family like Real Pro, NWCA, the National Hall of Fame, and the NCAA We will change perceptions of wrestling today. I believe that the NCWA will be the largest wrestling association by 2012 with over 500 teams and 10,000 college athletes, Dwarfing the other 3 associations combined. With your help and other strong committed wrestling volunteers this will not be just a vision, but our reality in the next 5 years.... This years Nationals will be the beginning of an explosion, and the 2006 Vision Forum is the Launching Pad!

See you on the 10th

God Bless
Jim Giunta
