    St. Cloud State signs Williams

    St. Cloud Minn. -- Head wrestling coach Steve Costanzo has announced the signing of junior college standout Josh Williams (Banks, Ore.) to North Central Conference and National Letters of Intent to attend St. Cloud State University and wrestle for the Huskies in 2007-08.

    Williams attended Southwest Oregon Community College, where he was a two-time NJCAA All-American while wrestling for the Lakers. He finished sixth in the 2006 tournament at 125-pounds and fourth this past year at 133-pounds. He is a past four-time Oregon High School state finalist and a two-time state champion while wrestling for Banks (Ore.) High School. He is projected to compete at 133-pounds.

    "Josh is an outstanding student-athlete who will make excellent contributions to the Husky wrestling program," Costanzo said. "He is a very smart and tactical wrestler who does not make a lot of mistakes. It will be great having his experience at our lower weights."

    St. Cloud State University is an NCAA Division II affiliate and the Huskies are members of the always rugged North Central Conference. SCSU was founded in 1869, and it enrolls over 16,000 students. The University is located in the city of St. Cloud, Minn., which is situated on the scenic banks of the upper Mississippi River – approximately one hour northwest of Minneapolis-St. Paul.
