  5. NMHU’s own Seth Wright made history on 3/13 in Omaha, NE as he wrestled his way to a NCAA Division II National Championship.

Valko trailed 2-0 but got an escape and "pancaked" Garcia before going on to the victory. With the loss, Garcia, a four-time All-American, fell to 48-1 on the year. Valko opened the tournament with a fall over Northern State's Jacob Butrous, before reaching the semifinals with a 9-8 sudden victory over No.6-ranked Todd Wilcox of Grand Canyon. Walsh, ranked No. 5 at 184 lbs., also reached Saturday's semifinals, but suffered three consecutive losses to place sixth.

In Saturday's consolation quarterfinals, Dempsey pinned Steve Franklin (San Francisco State) at 5:25, but was pinned by No. 3 Dustin Finn (Central Oklahoma) in the consolation semifinals and by No. 7 Naill McGrath in the seventh-place bout. Dempsey won his first match, 3-2 over Findlay's Matthew Clum, but suffered a 2-1 tie-breaker loss to No. 5 Jake Kahnke (St. Cloud State).

  7. The Peacock wrestling team wrapped up their 2010 NCAA Championships with two matches in the Championship Finals tonight in Omaha, Nebraska. Travis Eggers attained his season-long goal of becoming a National Champion when he defeated Josh Shields, the defending National Champion, at 165 pounds. Eggers becomes the 10th Upper Iowa wrestler to win a National Championship; three Peacocks have won a pair of titles. He is the second NCAA Division II Champion; joining Ryan Phillips, the current Peacock assistant coach, who won the title at 197 pounds in 2007. Tyler Mumbulo lost his match by major decision to Seth Wright of New Mexico Highlands to finish as the National Runner Up at 125 pounds. Mumbulo finished in eighth place three years ago and in sixth place two years ago before having to take a medical hardship last year after season ending knee surgery. As a team, the Peacocks tied for third place at the championships with Nebraska-Kearney. The third place finish marks the first NCAA Team Trophy that an Upper Iowa athletics program has claimed since their jump up to NCAA Division II. The last time the UIU wrestling program lofted an NCAA Team Trophy was following the 2002 NCAA Division III Championships when the Peacocks earned National Runner Up honors. Following the Championships, Peacock Head Coach Heath Grimm was named the NCAA Division II Coach of the Year as voted upon by his peers. The honor marks the second time Grimm has been named Coach of the Year, the first came after the National Runner Up finish of 2002. Finals Recaps: Travis Eggers vs. Josh Shields of Mercyhurst Championship Final at 165 Pounds Eggers nearly ended his Championship Finals match nineteen seconds in when he was able to lock up with Josh Shields and use a hip toss to throw him to the mat. Eggers was only inches from a pin, but picked up three near fall points to pick up an early 5-0 advantage. Shields finally escaped as the second period closed and added a second escape in the second period, but Eggers racked up nearly two minutes of ride time midway through the period. A double leg shot gave the UIU senior a five-point lead, but Shields was able to set the score at 7-3 heading into the final period. Neither wrestler added a point during the period, but Eggers tacked one final point on thanks to 2:25 in ride time to win by decision 8-3. Tyler Mumbulo vs. Seth Wright of New Mexico Highlands Championship Final at 125 Pounds Mumbulo wasted no time in registering a quick takedown, but Wright reversed the UIU senior and scored two near fall points to claim a 4-2 lead. Wright added an additional three-point near fall as the first period closed to take a 7-2 lead into the second period. The wrestlers started in the neutral position in the second period and the New Mexico Highlands grappler scored a takedown and continued to add to his ride time advantage. A Mumbulo escape cut the margin to six, 9-3, midway through the period. Wright continued to control the match adding another takedown in the waning seconds to bring an 11-3 lead into the final period. Wright added a reversal and two more back points to push his lead beyond reach. In the end, Mumbulo lost the match by major decision 17-4 to finish as the National Runner Up at 125 pounds.
  8. Augustana's Jay Sherer won the 141-pound national championship Saturday night at the 2010 NCAA Division II National Wrestling Championships in Omaha, Neb. As a team, the Vikings finished second in standings. Nebraska-Omaha won the team championship. The Vikings finished the tournament with 72 points, while Nebraska-Omaha had 131 points to win its second-straight title and fifth in seven seasons. Augustana's runner-up finish is the Vikings' best finish since finishing second in 2005. Meanwhile, Ty Copsey ended up finishing second in the 197-pound weight class. Copsey, ranked No. 2 in the nation, fell to No. 4 Donovan McMahill 3-1. Sherer becomes Augustana's first national champion since 2005 when Aaron Grauman (125 pounds) and Tom Meester (184 pounds) claimed national titles. Sherer, ranked seventh in the nation edged Nebraska-Omaha's Mario Morgan, ranked No. 3, 3-1 in sudden victory. After a scoreless first period, Sherer got an escape from the down position in the second period. Morgan tied the score 1-1 with an escape from the down position in the third period. Tied at the end of regulation, they went to a 1-minute sudden victory period. With about 15 seconds left, Sherer took a shot and a scramble ensued. Then with 1 second left in the period, Sherer managed to secure the takedown for the win. In the 197-pound bout, Copsey fell behind late in the first period when McMahill got a takedown with 5 seconds left in the first period to take a 2-0 lead. McMahill then chose the down position to start the second period and got an escape to increase his lead to 3-0. In the third period, Copsey chose down and got a quick escape to make it a 3-1 score. However, Copsey was unable to get the tying takedown. In Saturday's morning session, the Vikings had two wrestlers finish fourth, as well as one fifth-place finisher and one eighth-place finisher. Nate Herda (149 pounds) and Marcus Edgington (157 pounds), finished fourth. In the semifinals, Herda fell 10-5 to Esai Dominguez of UNO.

He dropped a 4-0 decision to eventual national champion Shane Valko of Pittsburgh Johnstown before suffering a 4-3 setback to Upper Iowa's Kyle Pedretti in the consolation semifinals. Augustana's final wrestler, Gavin Nelson, finished eighth at 165 pounds. Nelson was pinned by St. Cloud State's Tad Merrit in the consolation third round and then pinned by Matt Gille of Wisconsin-Parkside in the seventh-place match.
  9. OMAHA, Neb. -- The top-ranked University of Nebraska at Omaha wrestling team collected its second straight national team title and crowned one individual national champion in front of a home crowd at the 2010 NCAA Championships inside Sapp Fieldhouse Saturday night. The Mavericks scored 131 points, 59 points ahead of runnerup Augustana College, to record the school's sixth NCAA Division II team title. Elijah Madison (Photo/UNO Sports Information)It’s UNO’s fifth title in the last seven years. The win gives UNO NCAA II wrestling titles in 1991, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010. The Mavericks also won the 1970 NAIA tournament championship. Elijah Madison became UNO’s second freshman to win a national title in school history. The second-ranked Madison battled top-ranked Brady Wilson in the final match of the evening, and it was a good one. Wilson, who had beat Madison twice this season by one point, was also looking to become a first-time national champion. The two heavyweights went scoreless in the first period. The second period proved to be the deciding factor for the redshirt freshman, as he was able to get on top and ride Wilson for most of the second period to build up his riding time advantage to nearly two minutes after two periods of action. The two stayed at the neutral position for most of the third period until Wilson nearly scored a takedown with a minute left in the match, but Madison was able to push him off before he earned his two points. Madison’s riding time gave him the only point scored in the match to earn the 1-0 win to and claim UNO’s only individual national title of the tournament. Les Sigman, also a 285-pounder, is the only other UNO freshman to win a national title. Cody Garcia started the night for UNO, squaring off against top-ranked Shane Valko of Pittsburgh-Johnstown, looking to cap off an undefeated senior season. Garcia scored the first points of the match, scoring a takedown as time expired in the first period to take a 2-0 lead. Valko escaped at 1:21 in the second period, followed by a takedown and nearfall to go up 5-2 heading into the third period. Garcia managed an escape in the third, but Valko was able to ride Garcia for most of the third period to compile over a minute of riding time for an extra point to win the match 6-3. Garcia finishes the season with a 48-1 record, which is the second most wins in school history in a single season by a UNO wrestler. The four-time All-American ends his career at UNO with a 147-18 record, good enough for fourth on UNO’s all-time career wins list. At 141, Mario Morgan was looking for his first individual national crown of his career against Augustana’s Jay Sherer. The two were locked at 1-1 when the clock hit zero in the third period. Both men battled hard in the extra period, but Sherer scored a takedown as time expired to earn the 3-1 win in sudden victory. The loss snapped Morgan’s 29 match wining streak – he hadn’t lost since Dec. 5, 2009. Morgan caps off a great season, finishing with a 40-4 record and his second All-American accolades. Esai Dominguez battled top-ranked Craig Becker of Wisconsin-Parkside at 149. Becker scored on two takedowns to earn the 4-3 victory. Dominguez has now placed third and runnerup in his two National Tournament appearances, and finished the season with a 31-12 record Redshirt freshman George Ivanov faced Jonathan Jackson of Anderson University in the 157 pound bout. Jackson collected the 3-1 win by decision. Ivanov finished the season with a 36-11 record while earning All-American status in his first season. UNO ends the 2010 season winning two straight NCAA Division II and Super Region 2 titles. The Mavs posted a 13-1 dual meet record. Eight Mavericks earned All-Americans honors. Notes: Head Coach Mike Denney has coached 30 National Champions and 174 All-Americans ... Madison is the first 285-pounder since Les Sigman to win a title at that weight ... Saturday's session three's attendance was 2,026, while the finals session had 2,174 ... UNO has now crowned a National Champ the past eight years ... it marks the second time in school history the team has repeated as National Champions. Related: Brackets

  14. Want to ensure your wrestler is a happy camper? Choose his or her wrestling camp with care. These days, more and more youth and high school coaches are recommending wrestling camps to further develop the skills of their wrestlers. However, there's an overwhelming array of options: Technique camps. Training camps. Team camps. Intensive camps. MMA-oriented camps. Camps for women. Camps for little kids. Camps for big guys. Camps for fathers and sons. There are camps that last just one day ... and camps that go on for nearly a month. Camps run by local coaches ... and camps conducted by Olympic superstars. How do you find a camp that's right for your wrestler? It's not like Consumer Reports tests wrestling camps the way they do automobiles and appliances. US News & World Report doesn't put out a "100 Top Wrestling Camps" issue. To find a camp that'll make your wrestler happy, turn to The Ultimate Guide to Wrestling Camps. This brand-new, 120-page book written by wrestling journalist Matt Krumrie has the independent, unbiased information you and your wrestler needs to make smart choices. This Matt knows the mat ... and wrestling camps A sports writer for nearly two decades, Matt Krumrie has served as editor for TheWrestlingMall.com, and has written for wrestling publications such as WIN (Wrestling Insider Newsmagazine) and websites such as InterMat and TheGuillotine.com. For the past few years, he has written the preview article for the official NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships program distributed to fans at the national collegiate championships. As a seasoned wrestling writer, Krumrie is bombarded with questions from wrestlers and their parents about wrestling camps. Matt Krumrie"I saw that people -- even those who are heavily involved in the sport of wrestling -- want to know more about wrestling camps," said the Twin Cities-based writer. Krumrie also sensed a hunger for straightforward, factual information. "Sure, there are all the ads for wrestling camps at websites and in magazines, and all those slick brochures," said Krumrie. "But they're trying to sell you something. How do you separate hype from reality?" "There needs to be a resource, to help folks decipher all this information." "Parents spend so much money for their wrestlers for things like wrestling camps," Krumrie continued. "Camps can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars each. When a family sends multiple kids to camp, or multiple camps over the course of a summer, it really adds up." For parents who are new to wrestling, it all can be as daunting as stepping onto the mat to grapple with an NCAA heavyweight champ. Matt Krumrie shared an example from his personal experience of just how challenging it can be to make the right decisions. "I have a friend from college who never wrestled, but has three young sons who do. He was asking me, 'Do I send all of them to the same camp? Or do I want them to join a year 'round wrestling club?'" Turning an initial idea to a completed book From all these questions and observations sprang the idea for The Ultimate Guide to Wrestling Camps. However, it took a while to go from idea to published book. "As a sportswriter, I've always wanted to write a traditional book," disclosed Krumrie, who produced an eBook titled How To Be A Sportswriter in 2000. About five years ago, the idea of a book about wrestling camps started to take shape in Matt Krumrie's mind. "I started asking coaches about the idea for the book. I seemed to be waiting for approval. At one point I finally decided I didn't need anyone's approval. I started writing in 2006." "Every moment I had free time, I would think about the book, trying to work on it." It was a real time-management issue for Krumrie, who, in addition to his wrestling writing, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the website and other digital media for a major accounting firm ... along with writing employment advice columns for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and Examiner.com, and providing a resume-writing service for business professionals. The wrestling camp book shifted into high gear about a year or more ago, when Krumrie contacted other writers to assist with information-gathering and writing for the book, including Kip Carlson, sports information director for wrestling at Oregon State University, and Andrew Hipps, senior writer at InterMat. (This writer also contributed to the book.) Last fall, the book shifted into overdrive. "In November, I went to a book publishing seminar, and learned more about how to make it happen. I am self-financing the project, but I believe in the book and the product. I believe it is a valuable resource. It really can help wrestlers and parents." "As a father, I want to look out for young people," the author continued. "Parents put out so much time and money for their kids' sports. They travel all over the place to provide their kids opportunities for training and competition. As a parent, you and your kids could go to a wrestling event every weekend… You want to make sure you're doing the best you can for your kids, making the right choices. Wrestling camp is no different." What Krumrie is most proud about is the resources who have helped out with the book. Ken Chertow wrote the foreword. Bruce Baumgartner provided information. Rob Koll of Cornell provided comments. Steve Garland of Virginia was another. Frank Popolizio of Journeymen Wrestling talked. There is an article talking about how J Robinson started his camps, as well as training tips and advice from J Robinson Camps. There is a chapter featuring camp tips from Dan Gable. Some of the top high school coaches in the country from California, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Iowa and more, have commented. Over 40 Olympians, NCAA champions, college coaches, high school coaches, parents and more have provided their insight and personal expertise and opinion. "What I did was take the advice, comments and experiences of those who are involved with camps, clubs and training and coaching wrestlers and turned it into resources and stories that can benefit wrestlers and their parents," says Krumrie. Anticipating -- and answering -- questions about camps As a wrestler -- or the parent of a wrestler -- the idea of going to a wrestling camp may sound like a winner. But it can be an intimidating decision. There are usually a ton of questions, such as ... • What camp should I send my wrestler to? • What off-season training program are you participating in? • Do you think a club would help my child become successful? • What do I need to do to become a state champion? • How do I know what the best camp is for the money? • When is the right age to go to camp? • How do I really know what each camp offers? The Ultimate Guide to Wrestling Camps is designed to provide answers to the questions wrestlers and their parents have about choosing a wrestling camp ... or, even if attending a wrestling camp is a good idea for that particular individual in the first place. Krumrie's book provides sound information to help wrestlers and their parents choose the right camp for their specific situation. It assumes no prior experience with wrestling or wrestling camps. The first chapter starts with the items that are most important to consider when selecting a camp. The Ultimate Guide to Wrestling Camps even incorporates an entire chapter titled "Wrestling Camp 101" that provides clear explanations of basic terms used in the wrestling camp industry, such as technique camp ... intensive camp ... training camp ... outdoor challenge camp ... and team camp. The book also has a chapter on nutrition, and a handy "What to bring to camp" checklist. Among the other topics The Ultimate Guide to Wrestling Camps covers: Camps or clubs -- or both: Some wrestling coaches are advising their wrestlers to join a wrestling club, either in conjunction with attending wrestling camps, or instead of a camp. "Clubs are growing fast," according to Matt Krumrie. "Clubs give wrestlers more training opportunities not traditionally available in youth or high school programs. It's a supplemental thing that has been used in other sports, and becoming more popular in wrestling. But ... does it replace attending camps? And, how do you know which club is right for you?" MMA (mixed martial arts) and wrestling: There's a natural tie-in between the type of wrestling that takes place in school gyms, and what goes on the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championships) and other alphabet-letter promotions in mixed martial arts. Especially since a large number of MMA stars come from amateur wrestling backgrounds, such as current UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar. "MMA is exploding in popularity," said Krumrie. "Youth and teen wrestlers are huge fans. However, it raises questions and concerns from parents when their wrestlers show an interest in MMA, with parents asking things like, 'Why would I want my kid to train in MMA?' and 'Will it hurt my kid's wrestling career?' Many wrestlers use MMA to learn different combat styles, to broaden their training ritual, and enhance their conditioning, without any intention of ever competing in the Octagon. In fact, adding different disciplines and skill sets from other martial arts can actually help an athlete with wrestling." The Ultimate Guide to Wrestling Camps covers the MMA/wrestling connection thoroughly, with a primer on MMA ... what MMA instructors advise if you have a wrestler who wants to learn other martial arts techniques ... and what to look for in a camp or training facility to ensure the physical and mental well-being of the wrestler. Women's wrestling: The Ultimate Guide to Wrestling Camps has an entire chapter devoted to wrestling camps especially designed for girls and women ... along with a case study of girl wrestler Joey Miller and her dad Jerry, where they share their experiences in the sport of wrestling and from participating in various wrestling camps. Perspective from multiple, varied points-of-view: The book delivers a true "insider perspective" on wrestling camps, bringing together interviews, comments, quotes and information from over 40 of the most informed and educated people involved in the sport of wrestling -- high school and college coaches, all-time great wrestlers, and individuals who run camps, as well as youth and high school wrestlers and their parents. In other words, people who have experienced wrestling camps from just about every angle possible. For example, The Ultimate Guide to Wrestling Camps incorporates the opinions of a number of high school wrestling coaches from some of the most successful programs throughout the country, because, as Matt Krumrie put it, "These are the individuals who are the most influential to young wrestlers." There's also whole chapter that has college coaches from various types of programs -- from small, private schools to the largest state universities -- answering fundamental questions in a roundtable format, so readers can easily compare answers. "In writing the book, I wanted to benefit wrestlers of all skill levels who might be interested in wrestling camp,” said Krumrie. "Those who wrestle just for fun, or to be in a sport, or those who want to earn a place in the starting lineup on the team, not just those who expect to win state and national titles and get a college scholarship to wrestle."
