    NCAA champion Caldwell out for season

    RALEIGH, N.C. -- Defending national champion Darrion Caldwell of NC State will undergo shoulder surgery on October 5 and will miss the 2009-10 season. Caldwell, a rising senior, will have one year of eligibility remaining after the 2009-10 season and will return to action with the Wolfpack wrestling team in 2010-11.

    Caldwell won the NCAA championship at 149 pounds this past March, concluding a dominating season in which he went 38-1, his only loss due to an injury default. He followed that by earning a spot on the U.S. National Team in June and wrestled at the Heydar Golden Grand Prix at Azerbaijan in July.

    With one season remaining, Caldwell currently ranks third in NC State history in career wins, falls and won-lost percentage. He is NC State’s first multiple All-American since 1992-93 and its first national champion since 1993.
