      Purdue Announces 2014-15 Schedule

      Sept. 10, 2014
      2014-15 SCHEDULE
       
      WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Eight home duals highlight an 18-dual slate for Purdue wrestling in 2014-15. In addition to duals against familiar foes from the Big Ten Conference, the nation's toughest wrestling conference, the Boilermakers' non-conference schedule features valuable competition from across the country for first-year head coach Tony Ersland's squad.
       
      "I think overall the schedule does set up nicely for us," Ersland said. "It's always nice to see people from other areas of the country because the wrestling varies, so I think it's good to get out of the Midwest and go see some different people. I think we'll see a lot of good individuals to help us see where we are at early on.
       
      "The amount of home duals is huge for us," Ersland continued. "We have a couple early so we can get people in the doors to see what the team is going to look like, what they are going to be, and hopefully that will capture their interest and they'll come back in February, when we have some really great competition. That's when they'll have an extended period of time to watch their team, which is what you want to build your home fan base."
       
      Purdue opens its season Nov. 14 at Cal Poly. The trip to San Luis Obispo, Calif., will be the first for the Boilermakers since 2006 and a return for assistant coach Tyrel Todd, who served as an assistant coach for the Mustangs during the 2010-11 season. Purdue will make the most of its time in California by competing in Cal State Bakersfield's Road Runner Open two days later in Fresno.
      Ersland's squad will make its home debut with a pair of duals against Northern Iowa and Indiana Tech on Nov. 23. After a one-year hiatus, Purdue returns to the Journeymen/ASICS Northeast Duals Nov. 29 in Troy, N.Y. The 16-team event features three duals, with the Old Gold and Black set to square off against Missouri, Binghamton and Old Dominion.
       
      "It does look like, from a training stand point, we get tested a little bit at the [Journeymen/ASICS] Northeast Duals," Ersland said. "Obviously Missouri is pretty tough and Old Dominion has some good individuals as well. Our early schedule gives sets us up to be able to have a really good evaluation of where we are at heading into Midlands, where we are really going to be tested and then heading into the Big Ten schedule."
       
      Three duals and a classic winter tournament are on the docket in December. Purdue hosts SIU-Edwardsville Dec. 6 before traveling to Chattanooga, Tenn., for duals against North Carolina and the Mocs on Dec. 12. Although it's the sixth meeting all-time between Chattanooga and the Boilermakers, it will be the first time they've traveled to the Mocs home mat. The 52nd Annual Ken Craft Midlands Championships in Evanston, Ill., close out the first half of the season Dec. 29-30.
       
      The nation's premier wrestling conference will be on full display as the focus shifts to the rigorous Big Ten schedule. Five of Purdue's six duals in January will be on the road, with Ersland and assistant coach Zach Tanelli making their return to Nebraska (Jan. 9) and Wisconsin (Jan. 11), respectively. The Boilermakers follow with a battle against Northwestern in Holloway Gymnasium on Jan. 16 and two days later they'll be in University Park, Pa., to dual four-time NCAA team champ Penn State Jan. 18. The final two-dual weekend has Purdue making its first of two trips to Columbus, Ohio, to take on the Buckeyes on Jan. 30 and return home for a Feb. 1 clash against Illinois.
       
      "We're hit heavy in January, so we really need to have a really good training cycle coming off of Midlands; we'll have to have a good couple of weeks of training there because we won't train as much in January, but I do like where that leads us in February," Ersland said. "There we are down to one dual meet a week and we are at home the entire month. That gives us a good opportunity to train and peak as we get ready to go into Big Tens."
       
      The three remaining duals will all be at home as the Boilermakers host Michigan (Feb. 8), Michigan State (Feb. 15) and close out the dual season against in-state rival Indiana in a Friday night showdown on Feb. 20.
       
      A 15-day break awaits Purdue's grapplers before embarking upon what could be considered the toughest tournament in the nation, the Big Ten Championships.
       
      "That stretch is huge because that's where you're looking to make another jump as a team, that's where you're peaking," Ersland explained. "You're really looking hard at your training cycles there and what you need to do because it might be that you need rest and recovery with the guys, let them get fresh and then come back and train hard. I think it's very important that you get out of February with your guys still hungry to compete, still hungry to train, because everyone knows that you make your living in March at Big Tens and NCAAs. This allows us to do that."
      Familiarity will be a key factor as the postseason gets underway March 7-8. Just one month after traveling to Columbus for the Ohio State dual, Ersland's Boilermakers will return for the Big Ten Championships.
       
      "Big Tens in Columbus will be nice because it's a close trip for us," Ersland said. "The guys should be comfortable since we have a dual there earlier in the season. They will know what to expand and how to handle things."
       
      Success at Big Tens punches a ticket to the NCAA Championships in a location all-too familiar and welcoming for wrestling, the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo. The three-day tournament, held March 19-21, returns to St. Louis for the seventh time since 2000. It's a place where Ersland, Tanelli and Todd have found success on the biggest stage.
       
      "NCAAs in St. Louis is always attractive," Ersland said. "We've been there a number of times so I think everyone is familiar with the layout, the setup and what it's going to be. From a familiarity standpoint, it should be good for us, there should be no confusion where you're going to cut weight or where the hotels are, things like that that you want your athletes to know and feel good about."

      IHPO 2014 Recap

      Wrestling is a sport that can easily humble someone. This weekend I was quite humbled by what this little tournament has become. Four years ago we started this tournament with 171 wrestlers. In all honesty, I was very close to cancelling the event due to low entries. We started with four mats and some awesome matches….I was in awe of the talent there at the time. Of course that was four years ago and if you would have told me we would have 120+ state placers and qualifiers battling it out on 12 mats I would have laughed.
       
      This event has grown into more than a Super 32 qualifier. It is an annual pilgrimage to the Fort Wayne area for some great wrestling action in September. Think about that, 586 wrestlers coming to Fort Wayne to wrestle…IN SEPTEMBER!
       
      Obviously there are many, many, many people to thank for help in what this event has become.
       
      The referees: We had an awesome group yet again and they did a great job making all the right calls…well from my point of view.
      College coaches: Thanks to all those that came this way to see the great wrestling going on. It is a privilege to be able to host this event and hope to see many of the IHPO wrestlers on college rosters soon.
       
      Paul Tincher and Steve Asa: They were there for a big portion of the day taking photos. Look for them to be posted soon on Facebook.
       
      Mark Durham, Pat Culp, and Kyle Keith: The Trackwrestling gurus made my life a lot easier this year. Even when we had our unscheduled intermission they had us back up extremely quickly. They have ran more tournaments that I can even dream of and deserve a ton of credit for how smoothly it ran.
       
      Steve Saxlund and Todd Fuller of 3x Gear: These guys are first class all the way and came all the way from Fargo to set up shop. Their gear was sick to say the least. They will definitely be a permanent fixture at the IHPO.
       
      Scott Raypole: Another person who does a ton of work for this event. He does a ton of behind the scenes and organizational things that no one notices. As with the others, without him it would be extremely difficult to pull this off without him.
       
      Carroll parents and wrestlers: To say this is an awesome group of people is an understatement. They come in droves asking how they can help. The wrestlers and parents had 12 mats laid down in 2.5 hours on Saturday…even when a few of the kids were a tad hungry. As on the wrestling mat these people always rise to the occasion.
       
      Dan Ginder: The Carroll Athletic Director is absolutely awesome. He lets us use these first class facilities for this great event. He even came in this morning to help get the bouts on the TVs working better. As with everything at Carroll he is first class all the way.
       
      Trine wrestlers: The thankless job of being a tableworker with two restroom breaks and given a couple waters and small sandwich during the 10 hours. They did a great job even with some hiccups during the day. I can say there were no complaints from the kids or any coaches/wrestlers.
       
      Mark Snyder: He is one that has been there since the beginning and is an awesome concession manager. It is great when I have absolutely no worries when it comes to that area.
       
      Lastly, but definitely not least my wrestling tournament assistant director Alexis. Six years ago she had never even been to a wrestling match and now she is a tournament queen. As with other areas in life she keeps me in line and keeps me organized. Much of the smoothness of the weigh-ins can be attributed to her.
       
      Well…one last thanks, that is to all the coaches, wrestlers and fans who came to the event. Without you guys it wouldn’t be what it is today. If you have any suggestions please don’t hesitate to send them my way. We always take them into consideration when planning for next year.

      Zach Tanelli Added to Purdue Staff

      Aug. 13, 2014
       
      WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue head wrestling coach Tony Ersland has assembled another piece of his staff with the hiring of Zach Tanelli as an assistant coach. Tanelli, who is no stranger to the Big Ten Conference as a 2009 All-American at Wisconsin, joins the Boilermaker wrestling program after a five-year coaching stint at Hofstra.
       
      "I was really impressed with Zach when he talked about the importance of being in a role of mentoring and guiding young men," Ersland said. "He's got the right mindset as a coach and we're very much in line with the school of thought in mentoring. A coaches' role goes beyond wrestling. With him, it's always about the student-athletes first. It's about serving them and I have a sense that is very important to him.
       
      "Zach has had to wear a lot of different hats at Hofstra and has done a lot of different things. He's been put in a lot of different situations and scenarios during his coaching career. That's what I also like about him. His experience is going to be invaluable to us moving forward.
       
      "We now have a staff with goals and expectations for this program to take it to the next level," Ersland said. "There's no doubt that Tyrel [Todd], Zach and I are all on the same page and are going to put in the work necessary to get there. I'm excited to get to work with these guys."
       
       
      During his tenure at Hofstra, Tanelli worked his way up the coaching ranks and most recently served as interim head coach. He was the head assistant coach for the two previous seasons after spending his first three years as an assistant coach with the Pride.
       
      The former Badger made an impact throughout Hofstra's lineup, particularly in the lower weights. Tanelli coached four All-Americans in Steve Bonanno (125), Lou Ruggirello (133), Justin Accordino (149) and P.J. Gillespie (165). The Pride won three-straight Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) team titles (2011-13) before moving to the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) in 2013-14, where they placed fourth with two finalists, including the 165-pound champion, Joseph Booth.
       
      While in the CAA, seven Hofstra grapplers claimed tournament crowns under the guidance of Tanelli, including a pair of two-time champs in Bonanno and 184-pounder Ben Clymer. Jamie Franco (133), Luke Vaith (141), Gillespie (149), Ryan Patrovich (174) and Paul Snyder (HWT) were also titlists for Tanelli.
       
      Tanelli wrestled the first three years of his Badger career at 133 pounds and bumped up to 141 for his senior campaign in 2009. He was a two-time NCAA qualifier at 133 and earned a spot on the 141 podium with a fourth-place finish for All-America accolades. During his senior season, Tanelli went on a blaze, owning a 31-6 record, including a spotless 7-0 mark against Big Ten foes. He was ranked No. 1 at his weight for the second half of the 2008-09 season after winning the 141-pound Midlands Championships title and was bestowed with the Champion of Champions Award.
       
      Tanelli was a three-time Big Ten Championships placewinner and improved upon his finish each year. As a sophomore, he placed eighth at 133, followed by a fifth-place finish as a junior. Tanelli then took second at 141 as a senior.
       
      During his career at Wisconsin, Tanelli compiled an 88-31 record with a blistering .967 winning percentage. He won 44 percent of his matches with bonus points, registering 15 major decisions, 13 falls and 11 technical falls.
       
      A native of Milburn, N.J., Tanelli earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from Wisconsin in 2009 and his master's degree in higher educational leadership and policy studies from Hofstra in 2012.

      Three All-Americans Lead Junior Freestyle

      The last day of Fargo brought home three All-Americans in the Junior Freestyle event. Kingsman Drew Hildebrandt led the team with a runner-up performance at 106lbs. Two Fort Wayne Semi-State wrestlers, Garrett Pepple and Fletcher Miller were the other All-Americans.
      Hildebrandt started out the morning wrestling in the finals against Arizona’s Daniel Vega. Vega was seeking an elusive Junior Triple Crown. Hildebrandt was close to scoring multiple times on a knee pull single, but was stymied by Vega’s defense. Hildebrandt dropped the match 12-1 to bring home the silver medal.
       
      Kendallville’s finest, Garrett Pepple was on the mat for 7th place at 113lbs. The two-time state runner-up had a very good tournament when you consider his lack of international style experience. He dropped his 7th place match to Dorian Sapien of Idaho 11-1. Pepple’s losses were to the 1st, 5th, and 7th place finishers.
       
      Fletcher Miller was the only returning Junior All-American to make his way back to Fargo this year. He also had an impressive tournament only losing to the champion, 3rd place finisher, and 5th place finisher. As a testament to how tough the tournament is, the defending champion at 220lbs did not even place this year.
       
      Junior 106 - Drew Hildebrandt's place is 2nd and has scored 7.00 team points.
      1st Place Match - Danny Vega (Arizona) won by tech fall over Drew Hildebrandt (Indiana) (TF 12-1)
       
      Junior 113 - Garrett Pepple's place is 8th and has scored 1.00 team points.
      7th Place Match - Dorian Sapien (Idaho) won by tech fall over Garrett Pepple (Indiana) (TF 11-1)
       
      Junior 220 - Fletcher Miller's place is 6th and has scored 3.00 team points.

      Paul Konrath, Chad Red, and Nick Lee Finish on Top

      Konrath, Red, and Lee Finish on Top
       
      Friday was a phenomenal day for Indiana wrestling when three champions were crowned in the Cadet Freestyle National Championships. This is only the second time Indiana has had three champions in any age group and style. Back in 1993, Tim Myers, James Leavell, and Chris Snyder captured titles for Indiana. This year’s terrific trio looked solid all tournament long and wrestled amazing throughout the tougher rounds. Along with the champions, Kobe Woods finished as runner-up and Evan Eldred was 7th at 132lbs. With those performances the team placed 5th in the standings.
       
      The afternoon started off with Paul Konrath at 106lbs for Indiana. Konrath had takedowns early and late in the first period to have a 4-0 lead at halftime. With about 30 seconds left Konrath and his opponent, Ian Timmins, traded a 2 and 2 for a 6-2 lead in favor of Konrath. Another late takedown sealed the championship for Konrath and the final score of 8-2. This is his second championship as he won the USAW Folkstyle title in April.
       
      Next up was the always exciting Chad Red. Many had to wonder if there would be a letdown after beating highly touted Taylor Lamont last night. Red had a formidable opponent in Jaden Enriquez of California who was seeking the Triple Crown. Red was warned early for passivity and gave up a point for not scoring during the shot clock in the first period. With neither wrestler really threatening to score, Enriquez was up 1-0 after the first stanza. With just over a minute left Red finally finished a takedown to take a 2-1 lead. Red was immediately back in on the legs and got his second takedown with 35 seconds left in the match. He surrendered a late takedown to make the final score 4-3. Red had a super impressive tournament in one of the highlight weight classes of the event.
       
      It will probably take longer to read the recap of Nick Lee’s finals match than the actual match took. Lee was on fire all tournament long and he didn’t let up in the finals. His opponent was Jamie Hernandez of Illinois who was a surprise finalist. Lee racked up a quick takedown and three turns to make it 7-0 after about 20 seconds of action. Lee then got two more takedowns to secure the tech fall at the 1:16 mark of the first period. Lee had seven tech falls during the tournament in his seven matches. He was also named Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament with his performance.
       
      Evan Eldred of Westfield made quick work of Ryan Epps of Minnesota in getting the 11-0 tech fall in the first period. Eldred had an impressive tournament and will be one to watch this winter.
       
      Kobe Woods was the last wrestler for the Cadets to take the mat. He had his summer nemesis Matt Stencel of Ohio to battle in the finals. Woods was down 4-0 in the first period before he tied the match just before halftime. In the second period Stencel ran off 9 straight points to clinch the win. Woods had an impressive run winning USAW Folkstyle Nationals this past April, placing 7th in Greco-Roman, and runner-up in Freestyle.
       
      Cadet 106 - Paul Konrath's place is 1st and has scored 8.00 team points.
      1st Place Match - Paul Konrath (Indiana) won by decision over Ian Timmins (Nevada) (Dec 8-2)

      1st Place Match - Matt Stencel (Ohio) won by decision over Kobe Woods (Indiana) (Dec 13-4) Junior Freestyle
       
      The Juniors ran into the nitty gritty of wrestling this morning. Matches with podium spots at stake always bring out the best in everyone and the Indiana boys did not disappoint. After the dust had settled three Indiana wrestlers made it to the final morning of wrestling. Drew Hildebrandt will be wrestling for a national title, while Fletcher Miller will be wrestling for 5th, and Garrett Pepple wrestling for 7th.
       
      Hildebrandt started the day off with a big win over Kirk Johansen of Illinois and kept rolling with two more solid wins. In the quarters he defeated Howard Smith of Texas 8-7 and in the semi-finals he took care of New York’s Kelan McKenna 6-3. He is the second Hildebrandt to make the finals this week as his sister Sarah made the World Team Trials final on Monday.
       
      Garrett Pepple took the scenic route to placement after dropping his first match of the day to a tough Jack Mueller. He went on to tech Greco runner-up Corbin Nirschel of Kansas in the consolations to put him in position to place. His blood round match was not easy as he was down by six points in the first period, but came back to beat Tennessee’s Torbio Navarro. He lost his next match to rival Benny Gomez of Michigan and will be wrestling for 7th tomorrow morning.
       
      Fletcher Miller ran into a beast in the quarter-finals in Iowa’s Marcus Harrington. Harrington was a two-time state champ and signed to wrestle for the Iowa State Cylones. Miller didn’t have much time to sulk in his loss as he was back on the mat 15 minutes later wrestling for a spot on the podium. He made quick work of John Jayne to earn his second Fargo placement. Miller went on to defeat Patrick Grayson, but lost to Kentucky stud Austin Meyers in his last match of the day. Miller will wrestle for 5th tomorrow.

      Fantastic Four Lead the Cadets on Day Six

      The last time Indiana had more three or more wrestlers in the finals of any event at Fargo most of the current wrestlers were entering kindergarten or in pre-school. Back in 2003 Indiana had a terrific trio of Matt Coughlin, Angel Escobedo and Alex Tsirtsis in the finals of Junior Freestyle event. This year Indiana has four in the finals of Cadet Freestyle in Paul Konrath, Chad Red, Nick Lee and Kobe Woods. Also making the podium is Evan Eldred who will wrestle for 7th tomorrow afternoon.
       
      Konrath got the ball rolling with a 1-0 match in the semi-finals. His only point was due to a passivity on his opponent. Even with the lack of scoring the match had quite a few scrambles and each wrestler was in position to score numerous times.
       
      Chad Red had lost to Taylor Lamont three times in the past year. Last year at Fargo Lamont pinned Red in freestyle and as recent as last month Lamont defeated him in both freestyle and Greco. However, today was Red’s day as he used two takedowns in the first period to garner enough to hold off the reigning freestyle national champion.
       
      Nick Lee has been a machine all tournament long and in the semi-finals he rose to the occasion against Eric Hong of Pennsylvania. Hong is a prep national champion and was considered by some to be the favorite in this weight class. Lee’s relentless pressure broke Hong midway through the second period when he got the tech fall.
       
      Kobe Woods isn’t afraid of seeking the best competition as he has had a rigorous schedule since February. It has paid off with his second trip to the national finals. He took care of Michigan’s Wyatt Harden by tech fall late in the match.
       
      Evan Eldred has gone the scenic route to the podium after losing his third match he battled back to win three matches to secure placement. He will have Ryan Epps of Minnesota in his placement match.
       
      The finals match-ups for the Indiana wrestlers will be tough as always. Konrath will have Ian Timmins of Nevada. Timmins is a Nevada state champion and won the Cadet Greco-Roman title just a couple days ago. Red will have Jaden Enriquez of California in the finals. Enriquez is looking for the Triple Crown and placed in both style last year at Fargo. He placed 4th at 132lbs in the California state tournament. Nick Lee will have Jamie Hernandez of Illinois in the finals. There is little info on Hernandez, he did not qualify for state in Illinois and was 2-2 in Greco at the Cadet Duals. Kobe Woods will have a familiar foe in the finals in Ohio’s Matt Stencil. At the Cadet Duals they traded wins with Woods winning in Greco and Stencil in Freestyle. Stencil however won the rubber match earlier this week in Greco.

Two of those All-Americans return along with two from last year's Cadet group. Leading the way is three-time Fargo placer Brandon James. He has been money here as he placed 7th in a loaded weight class last year. Before that he placed 6th and 8th as a Cadet. The other returning Junior All-American is Fletcher Miller. He will look to finish his high school career off on Mat 1 this year after taking a 3rd place plaque home to Kokomo last year. Randy Scott and Dylan Lydy will both move up an age group and hope to repeat their performances from 2013. Both had breakout performances at Fargo last year with Lydy placing 4th and Scott finishing 8th.
       
      Others with some national accolades that will look to make their first appearance on the Fargo podium include USAW Folkstyle runner-ups Drew Hildebrandt and Jacob Aven, along with USAW Folkstyle Natonals 3rd place finisher Garrett Pepple. All three will need to navigate the always tough minefield that Fargo presents. State placers Clarence Johnson, Ben Harvey, and Scottie Sopko will all be looking to wrestle deep into the tournament.

      Miracle Makes One Last Fargo Podium Appearance

      Just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, Kayla Miracle wrestled another match on Mat #1 at Fargo. The final match did not go her way, but it was not without a valiant effort. She dropped her finals match to Cadet World Champion Teshya Alo of Hawaii. Miracle and Alo have been going back and forth for years and this match was one of the marquee match-ups of the night. As this was Miracle’s last official tournament as a high school athlete she left an imprint on Women’s wrestling the state like no other. She wrestled in six tournaments at Fargo and came away with two firsts, three seconds and a third. She will go on to wrestle at Campbellsville University next year and more than likely continue her winning ways.

      Cadet Freestylers take the mat on Wednesday, the first of three days of action for them. This year’s team consists of 12 wrestlers with state experience along with two others sporting solid national credentials. Only one All-American from last year returns, Nick Lee who had an impressive first showing at Fargo placing third. He will be back looking to move up on the podium after finishing third at the state finals and runner-up at the FILA Cadet Nationals this spring. He will bring with him his younger brother Joe who had an impressive Cadet Duals going 6-2 in freestyle and 7-0 in Greco-Roman.
       
      Another tough wrestler to watch is two time undefeated state champion Chad Red. He has all the tools to make a deep run after coming up a hair short last year. Paul Konrath has had a great spring of wrestling and will look to cap it off with a high placement at Fargo. State runner-up Jacob Covaciu will also be in the hunt for a berth on the podium after coming up one match short in Greco-Roman.
       
      Both Kobe Woods and Jacob Cavins have both placed in folkstyle and Greco-Roman and will be looking to cap off their off season with the trifecta in freestyle. Others to watch include state placers: Alec White, Kyle Hatch, Gaige Torres, and Steven Lawrence.

Most impressive was Granger native Sarah Hildebrandt who won the challenge tournament at 55kg to earn a spot in the best of three series. She then took on Helen Maroulis in the finals for a spot on the World Team. Her run came to an end against the former World Silver medalist. The good news is Hildebrandt is now an official National Team member and will get to go to more event overseas in the coming year. Also on the mats was Kayla Miracle who finished 4th at 60kg in her first World Team Trials. She dropped her second match to the top seed and then wrestled all the way back to 4th. She will be wrestling later this week against other high school wrestlers in the Junior Women's division in hope of bring home yet another stop sign.

      Only 13 Juniors are taking the mat in Greco-Roman this year for Team Indiana. They do however have two returning Greco-Roman All-Americans and another two-time state placer with the potential to be on the podium. Greco specialist Sage Coy will look to make the podium for the third straight time after finishing 6th and 8th as a Cadet. He has been superb in Greco over the years and will be a favorite to wrestle deep into the tournament. Randy Scott had a breakout performance last year making the podium in both freestyle and Greco. He made the finals in Greco and finished 8th in freestyle. After a 3rd place finish at state this season look for his hot streak to continue. Garrett Pepple will be making his first trip to Fargo after two state runner-up finishes. He has also made the podium three times at USAW Folkstyle Nationals.

      Women's wrestling in Indiana continues to be on the rise and this year is going to be no different at Fargo. Leading the way on this year's team is once again highly decorated Kayla Miracle. She will be performing double duty this weekend trying to earn a spot on the World Team and then later in the week wrestling in the junior championships. Her laundry list of accomplishments are too much to mention, just know that she is extremely talented and will continue to win at a high level. Two other Fargo All-Americans return in Lindsey Prozanski and Courtney Grey. Both were on the podium last year as Cadets and hope to repeat that performance as Juniors. Two other All-Americans in different events will make their Fargo debuts this week. The mighty Baron Susan Fozo will wrestle in the Junior division after placing 8th at Folkstyle Nationals this spring. Lastly, Mackenzie Turner will wrestle both Cadet and Junior divisions after a 3rd place finish at the FILA Cadet championships this spring.

      Richard Paige Wabash Sports Information
       
      CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. –Wabash College Director of Athletics Joe Haklin announced Thursday that Camden Eppert has been hired as an assistant wrestling coach.
       
      Eppert joins the Little Giant staff after spending the last four years as a member of the Purdue University wrestling team. During his career (2010-14), Eppert won 65 matches at 125 pounds, twice qualified for the NCAA Championships, and four times was named Academic All-Big Ten Conference.
       
      "I am thrilled and fortunate to join the Wabash College wrestling program," said Eppert. "I am extremely excited to begin my career as a coach and help student-athletes reach their goals on and off the mat. I've had the opportunity to be coached and mentored by countless people who have shaped my approach and I cannot wait to get started."
       
      [caption id=attachment_6735" align="alignright" width="150] Camden Eppert[/caption]
       
      Eppert graduated from Purdue in 2014, earning a bachelor of science while majoring in Public Health Promotions. During his tenure in West Lafayette, IN, he was a three-time All-Academic honoree by the National Wrestling Coaches Association, a team captain as a junior and senior, and was named Outstanding Freshman in 2011.
       
      As a senior in 2013-14, Eppert ranked fifth on the Boilermakers with 16 wins and was the 125-pound representative in 13 of 14 dual meets. As a junior, he posted a career-best 23 wins, including a 6-2 record in Big Ten dual meets.

      "We couldn't have found a better hire for the position," said Wabash head wrestling coach Brian Anderson. "Camden is a proven winner and excelled on the mats and in the classroom while competing in college. He has strong name recognition across the state and is going to be a great help with our lower weight classes."
       
      In addition to his successes on the mat, Eppert was a member of the Boilermaker Athletic Council, the John R. Wooden Leadership Institute, and was granted membership in Mortar Board, the national college senior honor society.
       
      Born in Noblesville, IN, Eppert graduated in 2009 from Highland High School in Anderson, IN, winning IHSAA state titles in 2007 (103 pounds) and 2009 (119 pounds) to go with a 155-13 (.923) career record.
       
      Entering his 11th season as the Wabash head coach, Anderson guided the Little Giants to their best-ever finish at the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships with a ninth-place finish in 2014. Riley Lefever became the first Little Giant to win a wrestling national championship, capturing the 184-pound weight class title. Wabash tied a school record by sending six competitors to the 2014 championship meet.

      June Wrestling Recap

      As the old saying goes, Summer wrestling makes Winter champions and that was proven over the course of June. Four major events took place with many wrestlers from the state facing the toughest competition from around the country. Here is a recap of the major events and their top wrestlers.
       
      Schoolboy Duals at Warren Central High School
       
      The top wrestlers in the 6th-8th grades took on the best from around the country in their own backyard once again. Indiana entered two teams in both Greco and Freestyle and came away with many great wins over the course of the week. In Greco, Indiana Blue finished in 28th place out of 35 teams despite giving up four forfeits throughout the event. Indiana Gold finished in 16th place for the event. In the freestyle portion Indiana Blue once again had an uphill battle with forfeits to start each match. The team went 1-4 over the two days, but had some outstanding wrestlers. Indiana Gold earned team All-American honors with a 7th place finish. They won their initial pool going 3-0 and then went 1-3 in the final Gold championship pool. All-Tournament wrestlers for the event were Brayden Curtis, Devon Stikes, and Jacob Obst in freestyle and Tucker Coffman, Kyle COrnwell, and Manny Cheam in Greco-Roman.

      Cadet Duals in Daytona Beach, Florida
       
      The first trip to Florida this month proved to be very good for many Indiana wrestlers. Another extremely talented Cadet team took on the top teams in the nation. In the Greco portion Indiana finished 10th. They were one point from defeating the eventual runner-up in Ohio Red on the first day. In Freestyle, the team finished as All-American for the second straight year. After losing to Ohio Red in the initial pool, Indiana took 7th in the finals. All-Tournament honors went to Alec White in freestyle and Joe Lee and Kobe Woods in Greco-Roman.

      With 14 of the state’s top teams heading to Disney our Junior duals team had the deck stacked against them. The Greco team, with five forfeits, won one match, but was lead by feisty Super Charger Ben Cauffman going 6-1. On the Freestyle side, injuries throughout the first day made for a rough time past the first pool. On the second day was forfeiting up to six weights. The Warrior Brock Hudkins lead the way with a perfect mark and earned All-Tournament honors.

      Fourteen teams from the Hoosier state made the trek to see Mickey Mouse and get some great wrestling experience last week. Indiana had a great showing in the Community 1 division with Avon making the championship finals. Other top 8 teams included Perry Meridian 4th, Penn 6th, and Brownsburg 8th. All of those teams earned All-American status.
       
      In the Community 2 division, Yorktown swept the field with ease for their 6th title in 7 years. They defeated Ohio’s Oak Harbor in the finals. Evansville Memorial made the championship bracket, but fell just short in the placing round. Terre Haute North was the lone representative in the Developmental division and placed in the top 12.
       
      Lastly, Penn once again entered a team in the super tough All-Star division. This year’s team was filled with tough Penn kids and other top wrestlers from across the state. That team finished 15th out of 47. Leading the way was Drew Hughes going undefeated, while Drew Hildebrandt, Jose Champagne, Joey Mammoletti, Blake Rypel and Kobe Woods all had one loss.

      This is Kayla Miracle's fourth selection to the first team.

      The nation’s best girls high school wrestlers are being honored with the announcement of the 14th annual ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team.
       
      The 2014 First Team members will be recognized at the ASICS/Vaughan Junior National Championships in Fargo, N.D., July 18-26, where they will be presented with their trophies. At the same time, the ASICS High School Girls Wrestler of the Year will be announced.
       
      There were seven members of the 2013 First Team who were selected as First Team members again in 2014: Teshya Alo of Kamehameha High School (Hawaii), Marina Doi of Kingsburg High School (Calif.), Alyssa LaFrancis of Poway High School (Calif.), Becka Leathers of Choctaw High School (Okla.), Anastasia Lobsinger of Northgate High School (Calif.), Kayla Miracle of Culver Academy (Ind.) and Alexis Porter of Shenedahowa High School (N.Y.)

      The ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team is selected by a nationwide panel of wrestling experts. It is the only national all-star team for which female high school wrestlers competing on all four grade levels are eligible. Athletes from across the nation were considered for their achievements in high school wrestling, as well as the major post-season freestyle and folkstyle competitions.
       
      ASICS is a national sponsor of USA Wrestling and a major supporter of wrestling at all levels. ASICS has sponsored the nationally respected ASICS High School All-American Team for boys wrestlers for 29 years.
       
      “ASICS America Corporation is proud to be a sponsor of the All-American wrestling team for girls,” said Neil Duncan, Vice President of TW Promotions which represents ASICS. “Women’s wrestling is growing at all levels, with more opportunity on the college and Olympic levels. These are our future college national champions and Olympians in women’s wrestling.”
       
      California led the nation with five First Team members, including Marina Doi, Alyssa LaFrancis and Anastasia Lobsinger, plus Regina Doi of Kingsburg High School and Gabrielle Garcia of Valencia High School. No other state had more than one First Team member.
       
      Miracle placed sixth in the 2014 U.S. Senior Open at 128 pounds, the top placement of a high school wrestler at the competition. Lobsinger placed seventh at the 2014 U.S. Open at 165 pounds.
       
      Seven First Team members won USA Wrestling ASICS/Vaughan Junior National titles in the summer of 2014, including Alo, Leathers, Marina Doi, Regina Doi, Porter, plus Rachel Hale of Mount Anthony High School (Vermont) and Maya Nelson of Denver East High School (Colo.).
       
      Six First Teamers won the 2014 USA Wrestling Junior Folkstyle Nationals in Oklahoma: Marina Doi, Regina Doi, Miracle, Leathers plus Jasmine Bailey of Iowa City West High School (Iowa) and Kenya Spenser of Caro High School (Mich.)
       
      Regina Doi won a Cadet World silver medal in the summer of 2013, while Marina Doi and Alo won Cadet World bronze medals.
       
      Four First Teamers were also Cadet National Champions last summer, Alo, Nelson, Garcia and Spenser.
       
      Four First Teamers won the 2014 Body Bar FILA Junior Nationals and will compete at the Junior World Championships this summer: Miracle, Leathers, Marina Doi and Porter. Alo and Garcia won the 2014 Body Bar FILA Cadet Nationals, and will compete at the Cadet World Championships this summer.
       
      Rounding out the First Team was Jessika Rottier of North Pulaski High School (Wis.)
       
      The First Team featured seven seniors, four juniors and three sophomores. In total, 10 states were represented on the First Team.
       
      The Second Team was also star-studded, led by Junior Nationals freestyle champions Steffanie Hampton of Leslie High School (Mich.), Kiaya Van Scoyoc of Lakes High School (Wash.), Ryan Gibbons of Centralia High School (Wash.) and Autumn Rux of Lansing Eastern High School (Mich.), plus Cadet Nationals freestyle champions Angelica Llanes of Arvin High School (Calif.) and Taylor Rosario of Cinco Rancho High School (Texas). Junior Folkstyle National champion Maddy Tung of Santa Monica High School (Calif.) and FILA Cadet National Nationals freestyle champion Sariyah Jones of James E. Enoch High School (Calif.) were also Second Team.
       
      The Third Team featured Junior Folkstyle National champions Theresa Rankin of Grass Valley High School (Mich.), Kendall Reusing of La Sierra High School (Calif.), Ronna Heaton of Brookings High School (S.D.), Dominique Parrish of Scotts Valley High School (Calif.) and Rachel Watters of Ballard High School (Iowa). Also on the Third Team was FILA Cadet freestyle champion Katerina Lobsinger of Northgate High School (Calif.)
       
      As the National Federation of State High Schools has yet to determine specific weight classes for girls wrestling, the athletes were selected based solely on achievement and ability. The top 14 athletes were named to the First Team, the second 14 athletes were named to the Second Team and the third 14 athletes were selected to the Third Team. Thirty athletes were named as Honorable Mention. An effort was made to make a reasonable spread of weights on each team. If the National Federation sets specific girls weight classes in the future, the selection committee will consider using those weight classes for the selection criteria at that time.
       
      For the TheMat.com/ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team, athletes were identified in three weight ranges: Light (100-121 pounds); Middle (122-140 pounds); Upper (141 pounds and above).
       
      In total, 72 wrestlers were selected to TheMat.com/ASICS Girls High School All-American Wrestling Team.
       
      California led all states with 20 selections, followed by Michigan and Texas with seven and Hawaii and Washington with four.
       
      A total of 29 states were represented on the All-American Team. The team included 31 seniors, 27 juniors, 12 sophomores and two freshmen.
       
      Women’s wrestling is one of the fastest growing sports among youth sports for women. It has been an Olympic sport for the last three Olympic Games, the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece, the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China and the 2012 Olympics in London, England. There are an estimated 11,000 girls competing on the high school level in the United States today, and the number has grown each year for the last dozen years. Colleges continue to add women’s wrestling on the varsity and club level across the nation.

      Gelen Robinson - A Man for All Seasons

      By Chad Hollenbaugh
      IndianaMat Senior Writer
       
      Winter, spring, summer or fall.....it never mattered to Gelen Robinson, he competed through them all. The recently graduated Robinson, from Lake Central High School (St. John, IN) completed his storied high school career a few weeks back with a state championship in the discus and a third place finish in the shot put. A third place medal and a state title are impressive graduation presents and very few athletes ever get to end their high school athletic career on such a high note. For Robinson it was perhaps a little more, it was the capstone, the culmination of the greatest four year run of athletic achievement in the history of the state of Indiana.
       
      FOOTBALL - THE FIRST LOVE
       
      Physical by nature, Robinson had a stand out career as an outside linebacker for Lake Central. As a sophomore he was named the area's Defensive Player of the Year and was all state. His name quickly circulated in the recruiting game as he attended football camps during his summer "off-season." His junior year included another player of the year honor and multiple all state team selections.Scholarships offers from multiple B1G conference schools followed and Robinson chose Purdue University as his next stop. An outside linebacker who is equally comfortable playing with his hand on the ground or in space, Robinson is the highlight of Purdue's recruiting class and according to ESPN B1G conference guru, Brian Bennett. Robinson will compete from day one for playing time for the rebuilding Boilermakers.
       
      Football might be the first love, but Robinson's name will go down in history because of his achievements he accumulated during the rest of his high school career.
       
      WRESTLING - WHERE HARD WORK GETS REWARDED
       
      I first became aware of Robinson five years ago after reading a small article about him winning a Middle School "state" title. Following a moderately successful freshman campaign which included over 30 wins and qualifying for semi-state, Robinson broke out as a state force in his sophomore year. Using a Greco based offensive attack, he was very exciting to watch as he would constantly attack from his feet and looked to toss his opponents. He finished his sophomore year with a 47-5 record and a third place finish in the state meet. It was at this state meet where many became impressed with Robinson's poise and maturity. During his semifinal match, he had several close calls not go his way and lost by decision to the eventual state champion. The stoic Robinson never batted an eye and continued to execute the game plan of attacking. It was an impressive display of maturity and class for a sophomore in high school.
       
      Not one to rest on his laurels, Robinson spent what time he could in a local club to try to improve as an overall wrestler. This hard work paid off as major improvements could be noted between his sophomore and junior years. In addition to his upper body arsenal, Robinson had mastered a single leg takedown, a high crotch, and a devastating blast double. These were on display along with his amazing shot defense in his final two seasons where he was rarely challenged and ran off 101 straight victories and two state titles.
       
      This spring, Robinson was named to the honorable mention list of the Asics All-American team. What would have happened if Gelen would have chosen wrestling over football in college? No one knows for sure but with his penchant for hard work combined with plenty of God given talent, the sky would be the limit in many experts estimation.
       
      TRACK AND FIELD - ATTENTION TO DETAIL
       
      Spring sports in general seem to get the short shrift in terms of media attention but for Gelen Robinson, it was another opportunity to keep the competitive juices flowing. In the discus and shot put rings, Robinson achieved marks that, on a national scale, outpaced his impressive resume on the football field and wrestling mat. As a frosh, Robinson qualified for state in the discus and had a season's best of nearly 160 feet. He also tossed the shot over the 50 foot mark.
       
      The following three springs saw Robinson pick up six medals in the shot put and discus. A 1st in discus this spring along with two runner-up finishes, two third places, and a 7th his sophomore year. Medaling that many times in the state meet is very impressive but the distance in which he tossed the discus the past two seasons put Gelen in a nationally elite group. His tosses of over 200 feet in 2013 and slightly under 200 feet this spring both ranked as the 6th best prep efforts in the nation.
       
      HISTORY - BEFORE OUR VERY EYES
       
      In the late 1960s, Indianapolis Washington produced George McGinnis, who was all-state in both football and basketball. On the hardwood, he was LeBron, fifteen years before LeBron was even born. McGinnis was a do-it-all power forward who scored, rebounded (better) and dished the ball like the aforementioned King James.
       
      The 1980s produced Rod Woodson, out of Fort Wayne. Woodson is, of course, a NFL Hall of Famer but in his high school and college days, he was also a state champion and All-American hurdler in track and field. As icing on the proverbial cake, Woodson played basketball in his junior and senior years of high school and was an all-conference performer.
       
      Tim Bishop of Valparaiso was an All-State performer in football, basketball and baseball in 1993-94. Bishop was offered a full ride for football at Indiana University, led his team to a state runner-up in basketball and was drafted by the New York Mets. He was playing in their minor league system when his life was tragically cut short in an auto accident.
       
      Valparaiso High School produced another of Indiana's all-time great high school athletes in Jeff Samardzija (2003 graduate). A multiple time all-state honoree in both football and baseball, the lanky Samardzija also played basketball in high school. He played both football and baseball for Notre Dame and was a two time All-American in football. Drafted by the Cubs, he is currently the ace of their staff and recently turned down a 5 year, $85 million dollar contract offer by the Cubbies.
       
      How does Gelen Robinson stack up against those studs listed above? In terms of just high school accomplishments, I think Robinson stands atop the group. No matter what the future brings for the youngster, folks in Indiana will surely remember him as "A Man for All Seasons."
