Seven-teams and 70 wrestlers competed for the CAA team crown and 23 individual berths to the 2012 NCAA Championships at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri on March 15-17. Pride seniors P.J. Gillespie at 165 and Ben Clymer at 184, junior Steve Bonanno at 125 and sophomore Luke Vaith at 141 captured CAA individual titles. It was Gillespie's second conference title after winning at 149 pounds in 2009. It was Clymer's second CAA title after winning at 184 in 2011. Bonanno and Vaith recorded their first conference titles. Those four individuals plus Hofstra's two second-place finishers, sophomore Jamie Franco at 133 and junior Justin Accordino at 149, have all qualified for the NCAA Championships. In the final team standings, the Pride edged the host Bearcats of Binghamton by two points, 80.5-78.5.

Hofstra also won the final conference title in the East Coast Wrestling Association (ECWA) in 2001. The CAA Championship is Hofstra mentor Rob Anspach's first as head coach of the Pride after taking over for Tom Shifflet last spring.

Penn State raced out to a 9.5-point lead in the team race after Saturday's opening session, but the race tightened when Iowa and Minnesota caught fire in the semifinals. When Steinhaus stepped on the mat for his semifinal match, Iowa had won five of its first six semifinal matches, and Minnesota had won three of its first four semifinal matches. The Gopher 184-pound sophomore found himself locked in a 1-1 tie with Iowa's Grant Gambrall in the third period after the two returning All-Americans traded escapes. With just over a minute remaining in the match, Steinhaus picked up the go-ahead takedown and held on for the 3-2 victory. "Getting a win was huge for me individually and for us as a team because it not only gives us more points, but keeps Iowa from scoring as well, which is huge," Steinhaus said following his semifinal victory. Steinhaus' win, combined with semifinal victories from teammates Zach Sanders (125), Dylan Ness (149), Logan Storley (174), and Tony Nelson (285), helped Minnesota pass both Penn State and Iowa, and lead the team race heading into Sunday's final session. Minnesota finished Saturday night's session with 117 points, 4.5 points ahead of second-place Iowa (112.5), and 6 points ahead of third-place Penn State (111). Iowa has six finalists, one more than Minnesota. The six Hawkeye finalists are Matt McDonough (125), Tony Ramos (133), Montell Marion (141), Derek St. John (157), Mike Evans (165), and Bobby Telford (285). "We've got to build on it and keep going," said Iowa coach Tom Brands, "We have six in the finals and we've got to win championships." Defending Big Ten and NCAA champion Penn State has three finalists, all returning All-Americans: Frank Molinaro (149), David Taylor (165), and Ed Ruth (174). Minnesota and Iowa wrestlers will meet in the finals at 125 pounds and heavyweight. Minnesota and Penn State wrestlers will meet at 149 pounds and 174 pounds. The only meeting between Iowa and Penn State wrestlers in the finals is at 165 pounds. Minnesota coach J Robinson believes the team title might be won or lost on the backside of the brackets. "The guys that are coming back in the consolations can score a lot of points and make a lot of difference," said Robinson. "So that might be really where it's won." Michigan's Kellen Russell (141) will be going for his fourth Big Ten title. Team Standings: 1. Minnesota 117 2. Iowa 112.5 3. Penn State 111 4. Illinois 81.5 5. Ohio State 76 6. Northwestern 61.5 7.

Related Content: Brackets|Notes|Quotes COLUMBIA, Mo. -- For the first time in program history, the Missouri wrestling team has captured the Big 12 Championship, doing so in front of their home crowd on Saturday night. Missouri sent eight of their 10 starters to the championship round, with four of them capturing individual titles. The four champions are the most in program history, besting the previous high of three set in 2004 and again in 2007, and all four placed first for the first time in their careers "It is an accomplishment of so many people though that put some put effort in," said head coach Brian Smith. "I thank all the wrestlers that wrestled for me and all the people that donate to the program and make it get to where it is, all the trainers and doctors, there are so many people. I am just really, really proud of everybody. This team did an amazing job today." Alan Waters, the top-seeded wrestler at 125 pounds, got the Tigers off on the right foot with a dominating 7-0 victory over No. 2 Jarrod Patterson of Oklahoma. The two were scoreless into the third when Waters reversed Patterson and scored five points in near falls in the final seconds of the match to get his second win over the Sooner this year. Oklahoma State tightened up the team race with wins over Missouri at 133 and 149, but redshirt freshman Drake Houdashelt topped No. 1 seed Nick Lester of OU with a 3-1 win. Lester had a 1-0 lead in the third but Houdashelt reversed Lester and rode him out to secure the extra point. Lester had beaten Houdashelt in both their previous matchups this season. Arguably the biggest win of the tournament came from Mizzou's Zach Toal, who upset top-seeded and fourth-ranked Andrew Sorenson in the championship. Toal, who was majored by Sorenson early in the season, hit the first takedown and took a 2-1 lead into the second period. After Sorenson evened the score, Toal got the escape in the third and scored the victory. The Cowboys were victorious at 174 and 197, but junior Mike Larston captured his first individual crown at 184 in a 5-4 win over No. 2 seed Boaz Beard. Beard hit the first takedown of the match and led 2-1 after one, but Larson tied things up with an escape and hit a takedown with short time left in the second. Up 4-2 in the final period, Beard evened things up with a reversal, but Larson escaped less than 10 seconds later and held on for the win. Heading into the final match of the night, Missouri held a four point lead over the Cowboys, who had one of the two competitors in the heavyweight bout. A win by decision would have brought the Tigers and OSU to a tie, while a win with bonus points would've given the Cowboys their third straight conference title. However, Iowa State's Matt Gibson hit three back points in the second and rode that to an 8-3 win over OSU's Austin Marsden, clinching the trophy for Mizzou. Overall, the Tigers qualify nine of their 10 starters for the NCAA Championship, which kicks off on March 15 and runs through March 17. The nine NCAA wrestlers will match last year's record-setting total. Stay tuned to mutigers.com for more information. Team Standings 1. Missouri - 77.0 pts. 2. Oklahoma - 73.0 pts. 3.

UTC all but had the team title wrapped up after the semifinals, with eight individuals advancing and one more in the consolation finals. The Mocs finished with 102 points, almost 30 clear of the field. 2012 SoCon Freshman of the Year Nick Soto got UTC going at 133. Ranked No. 16 in the nation, he was the favorite as the No. 1 seed, but had to work for the crown tonight. He led Campbell’s Joey Rizzolino by only one point at 5-4 with less than a minute remaining, but scored a takedown late to seal the 8-4 decision. Dean Pavlou was UTC’s second title winner at 149. He defeated The Citadel’s Seth Vernon 4-2. After a scoreless first, Pavlou started the second on the bottom and wet up 2-0 with a reversal. Vernon escaped but Pavlou scored a takedown with 10 seconds left in the period for a 4-1 lead. Vernon escaped quickly in the third, but Pavlou fought him off for his second career SoCon Championship. Dan Waddell had a buzzer-beater win at 157 for the Mocs. He slammed Campbell’s Nick Rex with two seconds left on the clock for a 4-3 decision and his second career league title. Brandon Wright was UTC’s fourth winner with a huge upset at 165. He scored an overtime win over Appalachian State’s 15th-ranked Kyle Blevins. With the score tied at one, neither individual was able to get a point in the first extra frame. In the first tiebreaker, Wright posted a reversal to go up 3-1. Blevins escaped in his turn on bottom and tried to get the go-ahead takedown. Wright fought off a strong attack to score his second-straight league trophy. ASU and The Citadel tied for second with 72.5 points. Both teams had four in the finals and both won at three weights. Appalachian State started the evening with a big win at 125. That match featured the last two conference winners in the Mountaineers’ Antonio Gravely and UTC’s Manny Ramirez. Gravely won in 2010 while Ramirez was last year’s champ while at UNCG. Gravely scored two near-falls in the second period to take control of the match and win 12-9. ASU’s second title came at 141 when Mike Kessler scored a 9-4 decision over Chattanooga’s Shawn Greevy.

He closed out the match with a takedown and backpoints. The Mountaineer’s Austin Trotman became a three-time SoCon Champion with a dominating performance at 184. He scored a technical fall (21-6) against UTC’s Robert Prigmore, earning the tournament’s Most Outstanding Wrestler award. The Citadel’s wins came late in the evening, taking three of the last four weight classes. Turtogtokh Luvsandorj posted a 2-1 win over Campbell’s James Cook. He scored a second period takedown for his second SoCon title. Kelby Smith also had a one point win for the Bulldogs at 197. He defeated Campbell’s John Weakley 3-2 to punch his ticket to the NCAA Championships. Trailing 1-0 in the third, Smith escaped and immediately attacked Weakley’s legs. The move surprised Weakely and gave Smith a one-point lead. Weakley escaped but could not get the go-ahead score. Weakley would go on to defeat Gardner-Webb’s Travis Porter with a fall in the second place match to earn the SoCon’s other automatic bid at 197. The Citadel’s Odie Delany defeated UTC’s Kevin Malone in a 9-0 major decision at heavyweight. It was Delaney’s third win of the season over Malone and his second SoCon championship.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- The 2012 NCAA West Regional title will be on the line Sunday in Cedar Falls, Iowa., when all seven teams from the Western Wrestling Conference hit the mat at Northern Iowa's McLeod Center for the one-day qualifying tournament where competitors will compete to earn automatic bids for the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. The event will begin at 11 a.m. CT and the finals are slated to start at 4 p.m. on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa. Tournament information and live video will be available by visiting UNIPanters.com while live results can be found at TrackWrestling.com. Seeding information will be announced following a coaches meeting on Saturday night. Tickets for the day-long event at the McLeod Center are $15 for adults and $10 for youth. Tickets can be purchased at the UNI Athletics Ticket Office, by phone at 319-273-4849 or online at unitix.uni.edu. In its sixth year, the WWC is comprised of seven schools including Air Force, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, Northern Iowa, South Dakota State, Utah Valley and Wyoming. Since all league schools compete at the West Regional, the WWC tournament championship will also be determined at the event. The UNI Panthers had won the team NCAA West Regional title 24 consecutive times, but the past two seasons No. 11 Wyoming has managed to dethrone the Panthers to capture its first two titles. In 2011, the Cowboys finished with 93 points, while the Panthers came in second with 87. Behind them the Falcons finished third (59), while the Bison placed fourth (45.5), the Wolverines fifth (41.5), the Bears sixth (24) and the Jackrabbits seventh (14). Out of the 17 competitors that qualified at last year’s nationals 10 of them are back, including six conference champs. The six returning individual champions from the 2010-11 season are UW’s Michael Martinez (125), AFA's Cole VonOhlen (149), UW’s Shane Onufer (165), UW's Pat Martinez (174), UNI's Ryan Loder (184) and UW's LJ Helbig (285). The other four returning NCAA Qualifiers are NDSU’s Trent Sprenkle (125), UNC's Casey Cruz (141), UNI's David Bonin (157) and UW’s Joe LeBlanc (184). Wyoming seniors M. Martinez and Onufer will be looking for their fourth consecutive conference titles this year as they have previously won their respective weight brackets in 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11. Fellow UW senior and three-time All-American LeBlanc will also be looking for his third conference title on Sunday. This year’s WWC regular season dual champion was the Wyoming Cowboys, who finished undefeated in league match-ups at 6-0. UNI was the runner-up with a 5-1 conference record. The West Regional will receive 17 automatic qualifiers to the NCAA Championships this year, based on the final Coaches' Panel Ranking, Rating Percentage Index (RPI) and Division I winning percentage. The breakdown of the 17 automatic bids per weight class is as follows: 125 (2), 133 (2), 141 (1), 149 (2), 157 (3), 165 (2), 174 (1), 184 (2), 197 (1) and 285 (1). After all of the qualifying events have concluded, the NCAA?Division I Wrestling Committee will meet in person to select the remaining 40 at-large qualifiers, who will be announced on March 7. All weight classes will consist of 33 wrestlers for the NCAA Tournament. Last year the WWC saw two of its wrestlers receive at-large selections. Qualifiers from this weekend's NCAA?West Regional will compete at the NCAA?Championships, that will be held at the Scottrade Center March 15-17 in St. Louis, Mo.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- (Team Scores, Brackets) Grand View (Iowa) and Southern Oregon each advanced four individuals to title bouts of the 2012 NAIA Wrestling National Championships Friday in the Jacobson Exhibition Center. The Vikings continued to hold the top spot in the team standings with 141.5 points and will contend at 133, 165, 197 and heavyweight. In second place with 118.5 points, the Raiders will send wrestlers at 125, 149, 174 and 184 to the finals. Campbellsville (Ky.) also retained its position at third with 110.5 points. Surging from ninth to fourth with 84 points was Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) and Oklahoma City’s 75 points land the Stars at fifth. Ten different programs will be represented in championship bouts, including five with multiple finalists: Grand View (4), Southern Oregon (4), Lindsey Wilson (3), Campbellsville (2) and Oklahoma City (2). Lindsey Wilson’s trio of national title hopefuls are the first in the program’s three-year history. Keith Klink was the first Blue Raider to advance into the finals at 133 pounds for head coach Corey Ruff. “I’ve been coaching [Keith] Klink since he was in seventh grade and I’ve coached him at four different levels,” Ruff said. “I have never been prouder than anything in my life. To have three in the finals at this stage and two in the consolations, I’m very happy. It has been a lot of hard work and we’ve faced a lot of adversity this season. I’m so thankful of everybody, the wrestlers, the coaching staff, the administration, the parents; it has been a collective effort.” Charlie Pingleton (157) and Joseph Stephens (174) will also wrestle for a national title for Lindsey Wilson. Oklahoma City’s finalists include Nik Turner at 157 pounds and Kevin Hardy at 165. Of the four returning national champions that started the tournament, a pair will be vying for a second title: Mitchell Lofstedt of Southern Oregon at 125 pounds and Great Falls’ (Mont.) 141-pounder Anthony Varnell. Lofstedt continued his pinning ways with a 2:39 fall of Deteoreious Prayther from Missouri Baptist to punch a ticket to his third finals appearance in as many trips to the event. It was also the junior’s ninth pin in his current 10-match winning streak. He is set to collide with first-time finalist Kory Kistner of Morningside (Iowa), who posted a 5-2 semifinal win over Great Falls’ Danny Luttrell. Varnell had to get past teammate Myles Mazurkiewicz in order to defend his title and did so with a 7-3 decision. The 28-3 senior’s final opponent of his career will be sophomore Chris Teague of Campbellsville. Teague defeated Montana State-Northern’s Anthony Weerheim by a single point, 9-8, for his first shot at a national crown. Campbellsville will have a second finalist in Allen Scruggs at 184. After beating the defending national champion with three seconds of riding time in the second tiebreaker in the quarterfinals, Scruggs once again emerged victorious in an extended match. Deadlocked at 1-1 with Derrick Rottenberg of Southern Oregon, the Tiger was able to take a 5-3 lead with a reversal, followed by an escape by the 2010 semifinalst, in the second tiebreaker en route to a 5-4 decision. “I decided I can’t just hang my head on the quarterfinals win because anything can happen in the semifinal,” Scruggs said. “I went back to the hotel room, sat down and just cleared my head. I’m just taking it one match at a time. That’s all I can do, take it one match at a time and keep on driving to my goal, and my goal is become a national champ. I’m a first-time All-American and I’m in the national finals. It feels great.” He will face off against another Southern Oregon grappler, Austin Vanderford, in the title bout. Vanderford edged Weston Keleher of Missouri Baptist, 5-4. Action from the 55th annual event continues Saturday at 10 a.m. CST with consolation semifinals, followed by medal round matches. The championship finals will be streamed live by NeuLion for $9.95 starting at 6:45 p.m. Click here for more information and to get registered.

Henderson will open against Tanner Hough of Duke in the first round and would meet Virginia'a Nick Nelson in the second round.

Ryan DesRoches shouldn't have been that worried. Last season, as the nation's 15th-ranked wrestler at 165 pounds and a returning NCAA qualifier, his selection by the NCAA at-large committee seemed a guarantee. He'd qualified a weight class for the Pac-10, but because he was upset in the semifinals of the conference tournament, he was forced to wait along with scores of other wrestlers to find out if he qualified for another NCAA tournament. "I remember training after Pac-10s and feeling good about my chances, but every once in a while I'd kinda wonder," says DesRoches, a senior at Cal Poly who is currently ranked seventh at 174 pounds. This season DesRoches earned an automatic berth in the NCAAs despite losing a narrow 5-4 decision to top-ranked Nick Amuchastegui of Stanford in the finals of the Pac-12 tournament. He was happy to not be playing the waiting game he had to last season. Ryan DesRoches received an at-large selection last season (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com)The Pac-10/12 holds its conference tournament a week prior to other conferences, which gives the member schools an extra week of training for NCAAs, but also forces the wrestlers in contention for an at-large bid to wait a full extra week, something that left DesRoches biting his nails to the very end. "I really did feel confident I was going to be selected, but I was listening to them announce names and mine just wasn't being called," says DesRoches. "I'd waited for almost two full weeks and after 30 names had been called I'm still sitting there wondering. I ended up having to wrestle Andrew Howe, who was the No. 2 seed last season." DesRoches was the last name called. The old system wasn't much better. Ask any bow-legged cauliflower wrestler in his thirties and they'll retell horror stories of waiting after the conference tournament to find out which wrestlers the conference chose. The system used to work off historical data and gave the conferences and their coaches discretion on who to place in the NCAA tournament. An ACC tournament in 2005 might have 16 qualifiers, with 10 automatic and six at-large. Coaches then huddled and attempted to appeal for their wrestlers, and possibly who they thought might benefit the conference's chance at earning more bids in the future. As the coaches discussed, wrestlers were sitting in locker rooms and abandoned auditoriums awaiting their decisions and coming to justifications all on their own for who should and shouldn't go. It was a random process with little justification. The new process does seem to extract more of the top wrestlers from conference tournaments and into the NCAA Championships, though the wrestlers have now become more aware of the process in advance of their conference tournament. Should they falter, how did someone near their RPI do at their conference tournament? Was there an upset? Who would go if ... ? And what if ... ? Matt Nelson is one wrestler who might end up sitting on the bubble (Photo/Virginia Sports Information)Matt Nelson of Virginia is one wrestler who might end up sitting on the bubble. Ranked in the top 20 for part of the season, Nelson has quality wins over other ranked opponents and a solid 15-4 record, but heading into the conference tournament he has alternating visions of his own dominance and the reality that anyone can have a bad day and end up in the mercy of the national at-large selection committee. "There are three spots and I'm the second-seeded guy at the weight," says Nelson. "I'm looking to beat both my opponents, and I'm focused on doing that as best I can with the stuff that I already do well." He does admit that should something happen, he hopes that his work to this point has gotten him far enough. "The last three years I was the guy carrying the water bucket," says Nelson who has spent the majority of his time in Charlottesville suffering from severe concussions. The 2011-2012 season has been his first season on the mat. "I'm thinking about what I can do at NCAAs and I'm sure that if I have to wait to hear from the committee that the time between the end of ACCs and when they announce is gonna stink, but I'm going to train through even if that is the case." The pressure for many of these wrestlers couldn't be greater. Unlike the team sports where blame can be deferred, college wrestlers are forced to take on the reality of their shortcomings in front of their friends, families and teammates. An extended wait period only prolongs the amount of time that support system will pump them up with confidence or analyze the RPI of opposing wrestlers and who they think might also make the cut. It's an exhausting proposition. In the meantime, if they don't automatically qualify, they'll be asked to train as if they were, a tough psychological hedge for any wrestler with goals of being an All-American or NCAA champion, but facing the reality that they might not even be allowed to participate. "I think it's all about getting that chance," says Nelson. "Whether I earn the automatic qualifier spot, or get in at-large, my goal is to be standing on the podium in two weeks. "I'll deal with just about anything to get there."

DES MOINES, Iowa -- (Team Scores, Brackets) Grand View (Iowa) took over the top spot at the 2012 NAIA Wrestling National Championships in the second session Thursday in the Jacobson Exhibition Center. The Vikings advanced nine wrestlers through to Friday’s quarterfinals and will also have a trio of grapplers battling through the wrestlebacks. Southern Oregon is in second place with 38.5 points and has seven wrestlers on the championship side. With 36.5 points, Great Falls (Mont.) is third, followed by Oklahoma City with 33 points and Montana State-Northern with 30 points to round out the top-five teams. Of the 26 All-Americans that qualified to the event, 17 have earned a spot in the quarterfinals, including three of the four former national champions. Mitchell Lofstedt (36-2) won his second match of the day with bonus points in his quest for a second title at Southern Oregon. The 125-pounder went to work with a 16-1 (7:00) technical fall of Bo Newport of Baker (Kan.). He moves into a quarterfinal meeting with Bryden Lazaro of Dickinson State (N.D.). Like Lofstedt, Lazaro (32-3) has posted a pair of bonus point victories: an opening bout technical fall and a major decision in the third round. A collision between Campbellsville’s (Ky.) Tommy Pretty (Ky.) and Great Falls’ Myles Mazurkiewicz is a regular occurrence at the National Championships. The pair battled for the 133-pound title in 2010, with Pretty taking a 14-3 major decision, followed by a second-round matchup last year, in which Pretty notched a 5-3 decision. This time around it was Mazurkiewicz’s turn. Pretty took a 2-0 lead into the second period. Mazurkiewicz deferred, sending Pretty to the down position, where the Argonaut junior used a cradle for two nearfall points. While in control, he racked up 1:17 of riding time. With no points scored in the third period, Mazurkiewicz’s riding time was the deciding factor that earned him the 3-2 victory and a spot in Friday’s quarterfinals. Mazurkiewicz’s teammate and defending 141-pound champ Anthony Varnell also punched a ticket to the quarterfinals with a 5-2 decision over DaMonte Riley of Lindsey Wilson (Ky.). The senior will put his 26-3 record up against Baker’s Joel Olivas (17-12), who won his third round match with a 1:12 fall of Robert Meador of Dickinson State (N.D.). Reigning 184-pound champion Evan Hinebauch of Montana State-Northern stuck Dickinson State’s (N.D.) Jesse Hellinger in 5:37 to land in the quarterfinals. The 33-9 senior will square off against junior Allen Scruggs of Campbellsville. Scruggs slipped past Oklahoma City’s Andrew Pontikes with a 2-1 decision. The third session of the 55th annual event will start Friday at 10 a.m. CST. Championship quarterfinals will be contested, along with two rounds of consolation bracket action.

Related Link: The MMA Outsider Podcast Archives We hope you don't have too many non-MMA related plans this weekend. The second UFC on FX show will take place in Australia this Friday -- well, Friday in the United States, at least -- featuring the long-awaited debut of the UFC flyweight division. Demetrius Johnson, former Outsider guest Ian McCall, Joseph Benavidez, and Yasuhiro Urushitani will get things going in a four-man tournament that will decide the promotion's first 125-pound champion. In case you haven't followed the show for the eight months or so we've been around, we're psyched to see the UFC finally bring in the flyweights! We break down the whole main card and also give quick picks on the prelims. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Strikeforce also has a show going down on Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, featuring a women's title bout between Miesha Tate and former Olympian Ronda Rousey, not to mention appearances by Paul Daley, KJ Noons, Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza, etc. Did we preview that fight card too? You're damn right we did. Most importantly, though, MMA manager Matheus Aquino joins us to talk about what's coming up for Bellator contenders Patricio and Patricky Freire and top flyweight Jussier "Formiga" da Silva. Speaking of Formiga, if the UFC has a flyweight division, why hasn't Jussier been signed yet? Matheus has the answer. He also talks about the Brazilian MMA scene and some prospects we should keep an eye on for the future.

BLACKSBURG -- Ten Virginia Tech wrestlers will head to the campus of North Carolina this weekend to compete in Saturday’s 2012 ACC Championships in hopes of bringing home an individual title and advancing to the NCAA Championships. The official championship website is here and it has links to directions, ticket information, times, Twitter feeds, the brackets and more. The brackets were released Wednesday and are linked to the right. For the first time, the entire event will be broadcast on ESPN3, an internet-only production. Additionally, there will be live brackets updating within seconds of a match finishing for those who can’t get ESPN3. The link to that can be found on the championship website. Admission to the event is $10 at the door or $5 in advance. Information on how to purchase tickets can be found on the championship website. Doors open at 10 a.m. and action gets underway at 11. The semifinals start at 1 p.m. and the consolation semifinals take place at 3:30. The consolation finals start at 5 p.m. and the finals begin at 7 p.m. Tech has never won the ACC title, finishing second twice (2006 and 2011). Ten different Hokie wrestlers have won an ACC crown, but only Devin Carter has a chance to win another one this year as the others are either no longer on the team or are redshirting. Carter won the 133-pound title last year and will be the top seed again this year. Jon Bonilla-Bowman (2007; co) and Matt Epperly (2008) are the only Hokies to take home tournament Most Outstanding Wrestler honors. Below is the lineup that will take the mat for the Hokies this weekend, with their seed before their name and their overall record and ACC dual meet record in parenthesis, followed by their first mtachup. 125: #6 seed Erik Spjut (25-11; 1-1) - vs. #3 Peter Terrezza (Duke) 133: #1 seed Devin Carter (28-3; 5-0) - BYE (semifinals vs. winner of #4 Brock LiVorio (NC)/#5 Brandon Gambucci (Duke) 141: #3 seed Zach Neibert (17-9; 3-2) - vs. #6 Frank Goodwin (MD) 149: #3 seed Nick Brascetta (6-3; 2-1) - vs. #6 Nick Heilmann (UNC) 157: #4 seed Cameron Hurd (11-12; 2-1) - vs. #5 Colton Palmer (NCSU) 165: #2 seed Pete Yates (20-5; 2-1) - BYE (semifinals vs. winner of #3 Nick Sulzer (VA)/#6 Ryan Harding Duke) 174: #3 seed Chris Moon (17-12; 3-2) - vs. #6 Roandy Roden (Duke) 184: #4 seed Angelo Malvestuto (21-11; 0-0) - vs. #5 Robert O’Neill (NCSU) 197: #3 seed Nick Vetterlein (24-9; 3-1) - vs. #6 Brian Self (Duke) 285: #2 seed Chris Penny (11-7; 5-0) - BYE (semifinals vs. winner of #3 Derek Papagianopoulus (VA)/#6 Josh Davis (NCSU) Each of these 10 men will be looking to advance to the NCAA Championships, held March 17-19 in St. Louis. To make it to the Big Dance, each must finish a certain place or higher at the ACCs to automatically qualify. If they don’t, they’ll be at the mercy of the selection committee, who will choose at-large selections. Below are the spots each wrestler must finish at or above to automatically qualify from the ACC. 125: 3rd * 133: 3rd 141: 4th 149: 2nd 157: 3rd 165: 3rd 174: 2nd 184: 2nd 197: 1st 285: 1st * - The ACC was originally awarded four spots at this weight, but Tech’s Ty Mitch earned one of them. Since he is not wrestling at the Championships, the ACC loses this spot and it becomes a wild card slot to be filled after all of the conference tournaments are done.

Every season there are All-Americans who return with their sights set on going undefeated and finishing on top of the podium at the NCAAs. But things do not always go as expected. There are unexpected bumps in the road for some. Here is a look at five returning All-Americans whose regular seasons did not go quite as expected, but who should not be counted out this postseason. Ryan Mango (Stanford, 125) Ryan Mango went through some ups and downs at 133 pounds this season, but recently won a Pac-12 title and now looks primed and ready to contend for an NCAA title at 125 pounds (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com)Mango's season synopsis: Mango, a returning All-American at 125 pounds, wrestled at 133 pounds for the first three months of the season to help his team, and took some unexpected losses. He was the No. 2 seed at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational in early December, and was upset by unseeded Zach Zehner of Wyoming in the second round. Mango took another loss in the consolation bracket in Vegas to Harvard's Steven Keith. In late December he finished sixth at the Midlands Championships, losing three times. Why not to count him out: Mango returned to his more natural weight class of 125 pounds in late January. He dominated his competition at the Pac-12 Championships this past Sunday, winning by pin in the semifinals and by major decision, 14-3, in the finals. Mango has shown that he can compete with the nation's best at 125 pounds. Last season he had wins over Missouri's Alan Waters, Oklahoma's Jarrod Patterson, and Illinois' Jesse Delgado. Zack Kemmerer (Penn, 141) Kemmerer's season synopsis: Kemmerer was ranked as high as No. 2 in the country at 141 pounds this season after winning his first 10 matches heading into the Midlands Championships. He entered the Midlands as the No. 2 seed and was upset by unseeded freshman Luke Goettl of Iowa State in the second round. Kemmerer was then dominated in the consolation bracket at the Midlands by Virginia Tech's Zach Neibert, 12-5, and wound up finishing seventh. In late January he took an unexpected loss to unranked Luke Vaith of Hofstra. Kemmerer enters this weekend's EIWA Championships ranked No. 12. Why not to count him out: Kemmerer has been wrestling well since his disappointing Midlands performance. Over his last five matches he has beaten two ranked wrestlers and outscored his opposition 38-11. He has beaten several quality opponents throughout his collegiate wrestling career, including Oregon State's Mike Mangrum, Virginia's Nick Nelson, Oklahoma State's Josh Kindig, and Penn State's Andrew Alton. P.J. Gillespie (Hofstra, 165) P.J. Gillespie is currently ranked No. 19 at 165 pounds (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com)Gillespie's season synopsis: Gillespie, who placed eighth at the NCAAs last season, has had an up-and-down senior season. He climbed to No. 3 in the country at 165 pounds earlier this season after winning 11 of his first 12 matches. Gillespie, though, had a forgettable Southern Scuffle performance in early January, where he lost three matches to wrestlers ranked below him. He also took an unexpected loss to unranked Tristan Warner of Old Dominion on Jan. 21. Why not to count him out: Gillespie, a three-time NCAA qualifier, enters the postseason riding a nine-match winning streak. He may get a chance to avenge losses to Joe Booth of Drexel and Warner at the CAA Championships. Gillespie earned All-American honors last season after entering the NCAAs unseeded, so he cannot be counted out in March. Grant Gambrall (Iowa, 184) Gambrall's season synopsis: Gambrall missed some time earlier this season because of a concussion he suffered last summer. When he did return to the Hawkeye lineup it was at 197 pounds, up from 184 pounds last season. His first major test this season came at the Midlands Championships, where he finished seventh. Following the Midlands, Gambrall dropped five of his next six matches, before making the decision to move back down to 184 pounds. He will take a .500 record into the postseason. Why not to count him out: Last season Gambrall showed that can beat the nation's best 184-pounders when it counts by finishing third at the NCAAs. He has defeated three of the nation's top five wrestlers at 184 pounds, including No. 1 Joe LeBlanc of Wyoming and No. 2 Quentin Wright of Penn State. Gambrall made his 184-pound season debut at the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals in Stillwater, Okla., and went 1-1, which included a 3-1 loss to Kevin Steinhaus of Minnesota and a 10-2 major decision victory over Tony Dallago of Illinois. Spencer Myers (Maryland, 285) Spencer Myers is the No. 1 seed for the ACC Championships (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com)Myers' season synopsis: Myers had a rough start to his season, losing five times from Nov. 6 to Dec. 4. (One of those five losses was an unofficial loss at the NWCA All-Star Classic.) Since then he has suffered only one loss, but has not beaten a wrestler currently ranked in the top 20. Why not to count him out: Myers is coached by one of the greatest American heavyweights ever in Kerry McCoy, who won 131 of his last 132 matches as a collegiate competitor at Penn State. Last year Myers shined brightest in the postseason, winning an ACC title and earning All-American honors at the NCAAs in Philadelphia. At the NCAAs Myers lost in overtime in the opening round before reeling off five straight victories. His final victory at the NCAAs came over Minnesota's Tony Nelson, who is currently ranked third.

Alex Cisneros is seeking his fourth state title (Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com) Carl Sandburg champions -- close, some drama, but still the lead Eagle The journey of No. 41 Carl Sandburg, Ill., to the Class 3A (big school) state championship certainly was not easy, clear, or without challenge. It started at the individual regional tournament, the first layer of three for the individual bracket series in Illinois. In that event, Carl Sandburg out-pointed Marist 258 to 245.5 to earn the qualification to the team state series. Despite Marist having an excellent team, and beating Carl Sandburg 28-24 in a dual meet at The Clash, they had no chance for a state title. The easiest portion of the road for Carl Sandburg was a 66-14 victory over Mt. Carmel in the team sectional final to advance to this past Saturday's state tournament in Bloomington. Ranked second in the team rankings compiled by Illinois Matmen, the Eagles journey started with a quarterfinal against fifth ranked Lockport. The dual started out well for Carl Sandburg, a 12-0 lead after a decision from Mitch Cook (138), pin from Colin Holler (145), and decision from C.J. Brucki (152). However, Lockport answered strong with wins in four of the next five matches to take an 18-16 lead after No. 4 Brad Johnson bumped up to 220 and earned a pin in 54 seconds. Nate Sonneveld's pin at 285 for Carl Sandburg gave them back the lead at 22-18; however, a 10-4 decision for Brian Rossi (106) followed by a 3-2 decision for Austin Strzelczyk (113) gave the Potters a 24-22 lead. In what would become a recurring theme, Carl Sandburg ended the dual meet with consecutive wins -- this time it was three in a row. First, a 15-5 major decision for Sebastian Pique (120), then a 15-2 major decision for John Pellegrino (126), and finally a 9-6 decision from Dan Garcia (132). It was onto the semifinal against No. 42 Glenbard North, who advanced with a 36-24 win over Minooka. These teams met in an early January dual won by Carl Sandburg, 25-24, seven matches to seven. This dual was similarly tight, but not without lots of intrigue, strategy, and controversy. Match strategy started right away, as Glenbard North sent out 152 pound state runner-up Brian Murphy, who is ranked No. 4 nationally in that weight, as their wrestler at 145 pounds. However, Carl Sandburg did not utilize their starter, instead placing in a reserve -- Wes Shepherd. Murphy could only muster a 14-6 major decision. In the next weight, Carl Sandburg bumped up three-time state placer Colin Holler to wrestle Dan Johnson. Holler secured a first period pin. This type of pattern would occur through heavyweight, a point in which Carl Sandburg held a 20-14 lead despite the teams having won four matches each. Going back to the lower weights, the Panthers would pull out three consecutive victories. Richard Browne's pin at 106 pounds tied the match at 20-20. A 3-2 victory for Chris Gonzalez, over Jim Panozzo, gave Glenbard North their first lead since the opening match. And then things got interesting. One week earlier, No. 5 Jered Cortez earned a major decision victory over Pique in the state final at 120 pounds. However, this week with Cortez on the mat for Glenbard North, Carl Sandburg chose to move Pique up a weight. Cortez pinned reserve wrestler Jake Vales in the first period. In theory this should mean a 29-20 lead for the Panthers. However, Cortez was called for taunting after the match for a team point deduction. The resulting meltdown/overreaction by the Glenbard North bench leads to the head coach being ejected and three additional team points being deducted, reducing it to a 25-20 advantage, and leaving the dual much more open for the taking. In the next match, Pique earns a 7-6 victory over state placer Jon Marmolejo. John Pellegrino bumps up for Carl Sandburg to 132 pounds and upends state placer Johnny Gosinski 7-4 to give the Eagles a 26-25 lead heading into the final match. In that match, Mitch Cook comes up the hero with a 3-2 victory over Cory Bradle to give the Eagles a 29-25 dual meet victory, and a date in the finals with No. 30 Oak Park River Forest, who upended Barrington (fourth ranked in Class 3A), 35-21. The upperweight portion of the championship dual, which starts at 152, does not go well for Carl Sandburg, as Oak Park River Forest wins five of seven matches to jump out to a 20-6 lead. However, at the turn, Jim Pellegrino would answer back for the Eagles with a 6-4 overtime victory over state runner-up Matthew Rundell. Three further decision victories from Panozzo, Pique, and John Pellegrino cut the deficit to 20-18. The Huskies did answer back with a 12-4 major decision from Cam Harris at 132 pounds to extend the advantage to 24-18. Mitch Cook came up the hero yet again for Carl Sandburg, with a pin at 5:43 into the match against Jake O'Mara to tie the dual meet, and let junior anchor Colin Holler slam the door, which he did with a pin early in the second period. Carl Sandburg wins 30-24, and earns their first state title since 2007 when they had won a third consecutive title. Glenbard North won the third place match 34-21 over Barrington. In Class 2A, No. 27 Montini Catholic steamrolled their three opponents in Saturday's competition on the way to the title. Finally, in Class 1A, Leroy came home with the title. Results Cougars seek a repeat in the Golden State Qualifying thirteen individuals to the state tournament, No. 5 Clovis has shown its comprehensive depth through a rigorous single-class state series so far as they exited the always tough Central Section. The Cougars are led by six section champions --Daniel Gayton (113), defending state champion No. 20 Jonas Gayton (120), Vincente Hernandez (126), Adrian Salas (160), Dakota Gordon (195), and state champion No. 4 Nick Nevills (285). Three-time state placer No. 6 Zach Nevills (170) is one of three to qualify as section runners-up after losing for the second time this year to No. 12 Silas Nacita from Bakersfield. Nacita is one of three wrestlers -- along with No. 11 Natrelle Demison (138) and Maxx Ramirez (145) -- to exit the Central Section as champions for the 22nd ranked in the nation Drillers squad. No. 5 Coleman Hammond (152) and Kyle Pope (182) finished as runners-up at the section tournament, while four other Bakersfield wrestlers also made the state tournament. The Golden State's other nationally ranked team is No. 18 Poway, which qualified eleven wrestlers to state from the San Diego section, including six that won the tournament. The major individual story of the weekend is clearly at 132 pounds, where No. 1 Alex Cisneros from Selma seeks to join Darrell Vaquez (Bakersfield, 1999-2002) as the only four-time state champions in the history of the single-class California state tournament. Cisneros will have to navigate some challenges, as a possible path to the title could include Cadet National Greco-Roman champions in the round of 16 and quarterfinals -- Elijah Davis (Oakland Tech) and John-Jay Chavez (De La Salle) -- and two-time state medalist Martin Ramirez (Elk Grove) in the semifinal. Then it would come prior to a potential showdown with sophomore Niko Villarreal (Gilroy), who made the late drop to this class and is ranked No. 13 up at 138 pounds nationally. During the season, Villareal has lost two tight matches to Cisneros, 4-3 in the tiebreakers in the Doc Buchanan final and 1-0 in the Mid-Cals final. Also seeking a fourth state medal, but a first state title, is Zach Nevills at 170 pounds. He comes into the state tournament with a 1-2 record this season against Nacita, having won the divisional tournament two weekends ago, but losing in the sectional final last weekend and in the final at the Temecuala Valley Invitational in mid-January. Those wrestlers will be in opposite half-brackets. The opening weight features the top freshman in the whole country Zahid Valencia (St. John Bosco), who is ranked No. 1 at 106 pounds. Trying to take step one of four in joining Vasquez -- and possibly Cisneros -- he is the favorite, having two wins to his credit against defending state champion Johnson Mai (North Torrence). That includes one over the nation's fifth ranked wrestler in the southern section final this past weekend, so they'll be in opposite half-brackets. Returning state runner-up Isaiah Locsin (Live Oak) is ranked No. 3 in the nation at 113 pounds, and is opposite his two primary challengers -- No. 6 Micah Perez (Central Union) and Jonas Gayton (Clovis). However, a quarterfinal and semifinal match against returning state placers is possible -- Mason Pengilly (Porterville) and then Arnulfo Olea (Exeter). Defending state champion Daniel Gayton, ranked No. 20 nationally, will have a battle on his hands to repeat, as two-time state placer Hermilio Esquivel (Orland) is also in the 120 pound weight class. Esquivel does have a 10-9 early-season victory over Gayton to his credit. Mercifully, the bracket gods have them in opposite halves. Nationally ranked wrestlers in No. 11 Demison and No. 18 Shayne Tucker (Bella Vista) look to be on a collision course for a championship bout at 138 pounds. The two wrestlers have met once this year, a quarterfinal bout at the Reno TOC over two months ago, won 3-2 by Tucker. The two wrestlers also met for third at state last year, with Demison winning that meeting. A pair of state champions is featured in the 152 pound weight class, with No. 2 Isaiah Martinez (Lemoore) and Jake Elliott (Oakmont) each seeking a second state title. Also present here is No. 5 Hammond, a Junior National freestyle All-American, who placed fourth as a freshman in 2010 but failed to place last year. In order for the battle of state champions to occur, Elliott will have to clear Hammond in the semifinal, with Martinez floating in the opposite half-bracket. No. 2 Joey Davis (Santa Fe) seeks a repeat state title, and third state finals appearance, this time at 160 pounds. He has just one loss on the season -- a disqualification -- and has been named Outstanding Wrestler at five different tournaments. For purposes of the state draw, he is in the same half-bracket as No. 11 James Wilson (McNair), who has twice placed fourth at the state tournament. In the opposite half of the draw is No. 13 Victor Pereira (Newark Memorial), who was fourth at the Super 32 and Walsh Ironman this year, along with fellow returning state placer Adrian Salas (Clovis). Those two wrestlers are likely to meet in the other semifinal, and already this year Salas pulled off a 4-3 upset victory over Pereira in the Mission San Jose Tournament final. Yet another wrestler on the Vasquez/Cisneros plan is sophomore Nick Nevills, who is ranked No. 4 nationally at 285 pounds after winning that same weight last year as a freshman. He is looking at a championship final against No. 11 Johnny Schupp from Vacaville, who was fifth in this weight last year. When these two wrestlers met in the Doc Buchanan final, Nevills won 10-8 in overtime -- more scoring then one might see in four or five matches at this weight class combined. Additional nationally ranked wrestlers include No. 18 Willie Fox (145) from Gilroy, No. 6 Nikko Reyes (182) from Clovis West, No. 11 Robert Marchese (195) from Oak Hills, and No. 20 J.T. Goodwin (220) from Bear Creek. Best in the nation Blair Academy closes season with a flourish at National Prep Championships Ranked No. 1 in the nation, Blair Academy, N.J. asserted its position with an impressive performance at the National Prep Championships this past weekend on the campus of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa. The Buccaneers placed eleven wrestlers into the finals, with nine of them earning championships. Finishing with titles were Jordan Kutler (106), No. 11 Joey McKenna (120), No. 2 Mark Grey (132), No. 4 Todd Preston (138), No. 20 Russ Parsons (152), Patrick Coover (160), Michael Mocco (182), No. 14 Frank Mattiace (195), and No. 1 Brooks Black (285). Runner-up finishes were accrued by Chaz Tucker (113) and No. 8 Dylan Milonas (145), while No. 16 Max Hvolbek was third at 126 and David Farr took fifth at 220. Blair Academy scored 354.5 points, placing those 13 wrestlers, as Addison Knepshield (170) was the lone non-placer, defaulting out of the tournament after his quarterfinal loss. Just over 100 points back in second was No. 9 Wyoming Seminary, Pa. with 252.5 points. The Blue Knights were led by championships from No. 9 Dominick Malone (126) and No. 7 Eric Morris (170), and a quintet of runner-up finishes -- those coming from Danny Boychuck (106), post-graduate Tyler Fraley (132), Connor Wasson (182), No. 8 A.J. Vizcarrando (220), and No. 14 Michael Johnson (285). Additional Blue Knights wrestlers placed fourth, fifth, and eight respectively. The other nationally ranked team -- No. 40 McDonogh, Md. -- was in fourth partly due to the absence of 2011 National Prep placer Kevin Marvel, who had placed at both the Ironman and Beast of the East at 195 pounds. The Eagles had six medalists, led by the championship earned by No. 16 Jack Clark at 145 pounds, with his 2-1 victory over Milonas in the final. Joining Clark on the awards podium were Myles Martin (152) and Toby Hague (160) with second place finishes, Roman Braglio (285) taking fourth, and additional wrestlers in seventh and eighth. That was enough for 120 points, while Germantown Academy, Pa., had 126 points with just five placers -- two in third, two in fourth, and one in fifth. Among the highlights of the championship was an impressive 120 pound weight class, with McKenna earning a 6-2 semifinal victory over Jake Goodwin (Bishop Lynch, Texas) before dismantling fellow Beast of the East champion No. 17 Will Mason (Cape Henry Collegiate, Va.) 7-0 in the final. That came after Mason upended No. 12 Andrew Atkinson (Liberty Christian Academy, Va.) 4-2 in the semifinal, and then Goodwin got third with a 3-2 victory over Atkinson. The 126 pound weight class was equally impressive, as 2010 National Prep champion Jeffrey Ott (Belmont Hill, Mass.) upended Hvolbek by 7-1 decision, before Malone earned a repeat championship with a 10-2 major decision over Ott. In the next weight class, at 132 pounds, Mark Grey won his fourth National Prep title with four pins, and then a 7-2 victory over Fraley in the final. The 138 pound weight class featured a Beast of the East finals rematch, yet again Preston won, this time it was a 5-4 overtime victory over No. 20 Alfred Bannister (Archbishop McNamara, Md.). As mentioned previously, Clark ascended one step higher on the National Prep podium this year, with his victory over Milonas after losing to Preston last year in the final. Two other additional showdowns among nationally ranked wrestlers occurred in the last two weight classes. At 220 pounds, it was a rematch of last year's 215-pound title match, as No. 2 Kyle Snyder (Good Counsel, Md.) dominated Vizcarrando to the tune of a 17-4 major decision. Then, at 285 pounds, Black upended Johnson 3-2 in the championship match. Rounding out the weight class champions was Corey Huntley (Archbishop Curley, Md.) at 113 pounds. Brackets Team Scores Eagles eye Ohio glory While No. 1 Blair Academy was taking care of its business, No. 2 St. Edward, Ohio, was dominating all comers in their state qualification tournament this past weekend. For the second time in school history, they qualified all 14 wrestlers to the Division I state tournament. The feat had previously been accomplished in 2007. It was a staggering weekend, as they went 53-4 for the tournament, losing their first match in overtime during the 285-pound semifinal on Saturday afternoon. Ten wrestlers won weight class titles. Records are on the line this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in Columbus. St. Edward can possibly tie (or exceed) the seven state titles won, nine state finalists, and 282 team points amassed by St. Paris Graham in Division II, three years ago. At present, the Eagles have seven of their wrestlers as on paper favorites -- No. 2 Dean Heil (126), No. 7 Edgar Bright (132), No. 20 Jacob Davis (160), No. 4 Mark Martin (170), No. 8 Domenic Abounader (182), No. 20 James Suvak (195), and No. 14 Ty Walz (220). Alex Moore (113), Nick Barber (138), and Markus Scheidel (145) also enter the tournament as district champions. Despite the dominance to be had by St. Edward, the Division I field is pretty formidable overall with the presence of two additional nationally ranked teams in No. 16 Cincinnati Moeller and No. 26 Massillon Perry. Each squad won their respective district tournaments last weekend, as well -- the Crusaders with eight qualifying to state and the Panthers with seven. The other team to win a district title was Marysville, and they bring eight to the tournament as well. Defending state champions include Brandon Thompson (113) from Solon, No. 1 George DiCamillo (120) from St. Ignatius, Heil seeking his third title, No. 8 Joey Ward (132) from Cincinnati Moeller, No. 10 Anthony Collica (145) from Solon, No. 12 Zack Dailey (152) from Massillon Perry, Martin seeking a third state finals appearance, Abounader and Michael Baker from Twinsburg both at 182 pounds, and No. 5 Nick Tavanello (285) from Wadsworth seeking a third title. In Division II, there is little doubt that No. 8 St. Paris Graham will win the state title. Despite qualifying only eight to the state tournament, all were district champions. Also present in the division is No. 49 CVCA with seven of their wrestlers making it to Columbus, while Claymont and Steubenville join the Falcons in qualifying eight to the state tournament. Seeking milestone titles for the Falcons are No. 5 Ryan Taylor (120), No. 1 Bo Jordan (152), and No. 4 Isaac Jordan (160) -- each are strongly favored to win a third state title this year, with Bo Jordan on pace to become the 23rd Ohio four-time state champion next year. No. 7 Huston Evans (182) is likely to make it to a fourth state final this weekend, and seeks a second title having won in 2010. He failed to win last year, losing to No. 9 Chaz Gresham of Goshen in the final at 189 pounds, and Gresham is likely to be his finals opponent as well this year. Sophomore Micah Jordan (126), ranked No. 17 nationally, is favored to win his second state title in as many years. The Falcons other nationally ranked wrestler, they have six in all, No. 11 Blake Kastl (145) is likely to have a very stiff test in the finals from either No. 14 Jake Faust of Lexington or James Klosz of Holy Name. Kastl beat both opponents this past weekend, but they were tight matches -- the semifinal victory over Faust came 5-3 in overtime, while the championship match victory over Klosz was by a 6-5 score. In addition, freshmen Eli Stickley (106) and Eli Seipel (113) made state as district champions. Division II, Ohio's medium school classification, features additional nationally ranked wrestlers in No. 2 Nathan Tomasello (113) from CVCA, No. 16 Brent Fickel (132) from Padua, No. 2 Nate Skonieczny (138) from Walsh Jesuit, and No. 10 Matt Meadows (220) from CVCA. Waynedale is the favorites in Division III, which is the small school classification, a tournament that is down in quality from past years. The Bears lead the way with six state qualifiers, three schools have five each (Nelsonville York, Caldwell, and Amanda-Clearcreek), while seven schools have a quartet in the state tournament. That field has two nationally ranked wrestlers, defending state champion No. 8 Mimmo Lytle (285) from Swanton and freshman Matthew Kolodzik (106) from Miami Valley School, who is ranked fourth nationally but was upset by fellow freshman Jared Ganger from Troy Christian in the district semifinal this past weekend. Heavies collide in the Gopher State Arguably the best showcase of heavyweight wrestling this year will come at the Minnesota state wrestling tournament this Friday and Saturday at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The Class 2A (medium schools) tournament features four high profile 285-pound wrestlers, three of whom are nationally ranked. Seeking to become the first ever wrestler to win three state titles as a heavyweight in Minnesota is No. 3 Austin Goergen (Caledonia). However, coming after the throne are fellow state champion No. 4 (at 220) Michael Kroells (Scott West), who is undefeated on the season and bumped up just for the challenge of this rigorous bracket; No. 7 Sam Stoll (Kasson-Mantorville), runner-up to Goergen last year as a freshman; and undefeated senior Jesse Hein (Perham), who placed fourth at state as a sophomore. The bracket is very favorable for Goergen coming off of his section final win over Stoll, which was one week after Stoll beat Goergen in the team sections. That's it for losses in the quartet -- Kroells and Hein both come in with 41-0 records, Goergen is 33-1, while Stoll has a 41-1 mark. Hein and Stoll are projected to meet in the quarterfinal, with the winner slated to face Kroells in the semifinal. Sitting relatively alone in the other half-bracket is Goergen, who is likely to face senior Brient Pokornowski (Dassel-Cokato), who comes into the tournament with a 34-1 record. Two other weights across the three classifications feature a pair of nationally ranked wrestlers. In Class 3A (big schools) at 126 pounds, No. 8 Mitch Bengtson (St. Cloud Apollo) and No. 12 Sam Brancale (Eden Prairie) are in the same bracket for a second straight year. Last year at 119 pounds, the wrestlers met in a quarterfinal match that Bengtson won 1-0. The junior Bengtson is undefeated this year, seeks a fourth state title, and has not lost since the first weekend of his eighth grade year. Brancale is a three-time state placer, having won state as a sophomore at 103 pounds, with other placements of 6th as a freshman and 3rd last year. Then, at 132 pounds in Class 3A, No. 9 Ben Morgan (Forest Lake) and No. 12 Dakota Trom (Apple Valley) are in the same position that Bengtson and Brancale found themselves last year. In Minnesota's 8x2 system, they were drawn into a quarterfinal match. Morgan was a state champion in eighth grade but has finished third in each of the last three years, while Trom comes in having won three consecutive state titles; however, Morgan possesses a head-to-head victory over Trom in this year's Minnesota Christmas Tournament final. The likely finals opponent for either wrestler would be Eric Bauer (Hastings), who has placed third, second, and third at the state tournament. Two additional showdowns of some intrigue come in Class 2A. At 145 pounds, two-time state champion Jake Short (Simley), ranked No. 4 nationally, and defending state champion Gabe Fogarty (Scott West) are slated to meet in the semifinal round. The classification's third ranked kid, Tyler Bemboom (Foley), is in the same quarter as Fogarty; while fourth ranked Dustin Ellsworth (St. Paul Harding) is the best in the opposite half of the draw. Then, it is a potential finals showdown between undefeated wrestlers at 170 pounds. Micah Barnes (Simley), a two-time state runner-up, is ranked No. 3 nationally; while Garrett Miller (Plainview-Elgin-Millville) finished third at state last year. Additional nationally ranked wrestlers in the tournaments include Class 3A wrestlers No. 5 Tommy Thorn (St. Michael-Albertville) at 113 pounds, No. 3 Mark Hall (Apple Valley) at 145, No. 10 Brandon Kingsley (Apple Valley) at 160, and No. 11 Kyle Begin (Anoka) at 170; Class 2A wrestlers No. 14 Kyle Gliva (Simley) at 113, No. 14 Joey Munos (South St. Paul) at 132, No. 14 Nick Wanzek (Simley) at 152, and No. 17 Broc Berge (Kasson-Mantorville) at 195; while No. 8 Cooper Moore (Jackson County Central) at 170 pounds is the lone nationally ranked Class 1A wrestler. In addition, there is the question about if seventh-grader Brady Berge (Kasson-Mantorville) can win state in Class 2A at 106 pounds, which would join him with Eric Devos and Destin McCauley as among the isolated few to ever win a title in the seventh grade. Berge is ranked No. 5 among all junior high wrestlers, with Hall ranked in the pole position.
