Coach Hull Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 [move]Arizona State University Wrestling Clinic - September 6th - $40 - ages 5-18 @ Warren Central H.S.[/move] OVERVIEW In light of our recent success at the 2014 Asics/Vaughan Cadet and Junior National Championships, more of the country’s top wrestling programs are turning their eye towards Indiana. One of these programs are the Sun Devils of Arizona State University. With past success including 2010 National Champions Anthony Robles and Bubba Jenkins, they have recently turned the corner with the hiring of USA Olympic Freestyle Coach and World Champion Zeke Jones this summer, who comes off of coaching the USA Olympians in the 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2012 Olympic Games. Under his tenure, the US has placed seventh, fifth and third in the World Championships, as well as achieving five individual World Champion medals, including two-time World Champion Jordan Burroughs. During the Jones era, USA has placed sixth in 2010 and third in 2012 and 2013 at the Freestyle World Cups, won 8 Junior World medals, five University World medals and four Cadet World medals. Before taking the challenge of redirecting the US Freestyle Program, Coach Jones coached at University of Pennsylvania, and was on staffs at West Virginia, Arizona State and Bloomsburg University. Jones coached teams have finished in the NCAA Final Four twice, in the top-10 four times and won six conference team championships. Individually his wrestlers have won six NCAA titles, eight NCAA finalist, 36 individual conference champions, 29 All- Americans, 74 NCAA Qualifiers, and 11 wrestlers have competed in the NWCA All Star Meet. Coach Jones’ presence at Arizona State has already been felt as they hosted the 2014 World Team Training Camp and recently signed two-time NCAA Champion Chris Pendleton from Oklahoma State to join the coaching staff. They have also begun solidifying their ascension toward the nation’s elite with the signings of both #1 ranked Zahid Valencia and Anthony Valencia of Bosco, California. Again, with Indiana’s recent success, and because he will be at the World Championships in Uzbekistan on September 6th, Coach Jones still wants to tap into Indiana’s market and is sending his right-hand man, Head Assistant Coach Lee Pritts to run a clinic JUST for Indiana!! This clinic is open to all entrants ages 5-18, so be sure to bring your wrestler for a fun and informative time with one of the top wrestling programs in the country, as well as one of the top staffs in IPWA. There are many wrestlers signed up for this to both fine tune and manage any weight before the Indianamat Preseason Open. Weigh ins for the IPO start Saturday, September 6th from 6pm-9pm.
