Cal Poly Report By Flowrestling [Article]January 8th, 2008 | Author: FlowrestlingHello to all. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a fabulous 2008! Here's some great news to look forward to in the new year: wrestlingmart.com has extended its Cal Poly promotion through the month of January. Go to the wrestlingmart.com website, click on the Cal Poly icon, order something, and all of the gross profit from your purchase will be donated to the Cal Poly wrestling program. Many thanks to wrestlingmart.com and Mike Applegate! I was fortunate to be able to attend the Reno Tournament of Champions on December 18. For those of you who didn't make it, you really should plan to do so next year. It's a fun tournament, with great wrestlers competing, including the Mustangs. Chase Pami finished a very close second at 157 lbs. Boris Novachkov took third at 125, and Filip Novachkov finished fourth at 133. The other Mustang wrestlers all competed hard, and many won multiple matches. Chad Mendes was unable to compete because of a knee injury, but you should expect to see him back in the line-up soon. The Mustangs return to action in Mott Gym on Thursday, January 3 at 1:00 p.m. (yes, that's 1:00 p.m.!) against West Virginia and again versus the Oregon Ducks on Friday, January 4 at 7:00 p.m. Finally, our head assistant coach, Sammie Henson, has been devoting some of his time to working out with The Iceman, Chuck Liddell, in advance of his December 29 fight in Las Vegas. Chuck has been a great supporter of Mustang wrestling. Tune in to the broadcast and you will likely see Sammie somewhere in the picture! Wrestling Adds Two-Time All-American Darrell Vasquez To Staff By Flowrestling [Article]July 24th, 2007 | Author: FlowrestlingWrestling Adds Two-Time All-American Darrell Vasquez to Staff Two-time All-American Darrell Vasquez joins Harvard wrestling staff as the coaching assistant for 2007-08 season. Vasquez was a three-time PAC-10 place winner, three-time NCAA qualifier and two-time top-six finisher at the NCAA Championships for Cal Poly. After red shirting his freshman season, Vasquez compiled a 30-7 overall record, finished as the runner-up at 133 pounds at the PAC 10 tournament and took sixth at the NCAAs in St. Louis, Mo., in 2004. After a breakout first-year performance, Vasquez earned a No. 2 preseason ranking before illness sidelined him for the 2004-05 season. In 2005-06, Vasquez returned to the mat where he placed third at the PAC-10 tournament and qualified for his second NCAA Championships. In 2006-07, the senior compiled a 28-3 mark en route to an undefeated conference record and a PAC 10 championship. He went on to finish fifth at the NCAA Championships. The native of Bakersfield, Calif., was the first four-time high school state champion in California history. He received the Dave Schultz Award as Champion of Champions in 2001 and 2002. Vasquez is currently finishing his degree in business from Cal Poly. Senior Will Cap His Career With First Appearance In The National Tournament By Flowrestling [Article]March 1st, 2007 | Author: FlowrestlingTEMPE, Ariz. ? John Espinoza, a senior on the Arizona State University wrestling team, was awarded one of nine wild card selections into the NCAA Wrestling Championships, the Pac-10 Conference announced. In a vote of the 10 conference coaches, Espinoza was selected to join teammates Brian Stith (157), Patrick Pitsch (165), Greg Gifford (184) and Jason Trulson (197) in Auburn Hills, Mich., for the national tournament March 15-17. Espinoza, competing at 125 pounds, posted a 2-2 record at the Pac-10 Wrestling Championships over the weekend in Bakersfield, Calif., falling to Marcos Orozco of UC Davis in the third-place bout, 8-6. Seeded third in the tournament, Espinoza opened with a 12-10 decision over Brandon Zoeteway (CS Bakersfield) before dropping a 4-2 decision to second-seeded Eric Stevenson (Oregon State) in the semifinals. In the consolation bracket, Espinoza scored a 5-1 decision over Cory Fish (Boise State) to earn a place in the third-place bout with Orozco. Stith, Pitsch and Gifford each won individual titles in the tournament with both Stith and Pitsch earning their second conference crowns. Trulson placed third in his weight class to earn an automatic berth to the national meet. Joining Espinoza as the nine wild card selections were Cal State Fullerton?s T.J. Dillashaw (133) and Bryan Tice (165), Cal Poly?s Dave Roberts (141) and Chase Pami (157), Stanford?s Brian Perry (165) and Luke Feist (174), Bakersfield?s Colton Nichols (heavyweight) and Boise State?s Andy Patrick (heavyweight). Jim Zalesky Wastes No Time At Oregon State By Flowrestling [Article]February 25th, 2007 | Author: FlowrestlingBAKERSFIELD, Calif. ? The No. 16 Oregon State University wrestling team captured the Pac-10 Championship for the first time since 1994, edging the host Cal State-Bakersfield Roadrunners at the Icardo Center Sunday. The Beavers finished the tournament with a team score of 110 points, while the Roadrunners had 105 and UC Davis 96.5. ?This is a big step for this program,? first-year head coach Jim Zalesky said. ?We train all year for this time of the season. We talk about being champions and today we accomplished a big goal. I?m very proud of this team and I look forward to what is ahead for Beaver wrestling.? The Beavers won individual titles at 174 pounds and heavyweight. Jeremy Larson, ranked No. 17, defeated top-seeded Ken Cook of UC Davis 8-4 in the title match at 174. Larson?s win evened his head-to-head competition vs. Cook for the season at two wins each. ?We knew this was going to be a very competitive match judging from the past meetings,? Zalesky said. ?Jeremy knew what to watch for and to be ready for his opportunities. This was a very entertaining match.? No. 5 ranked and top-seeded Ty Watterson nearly shut out third-seeded Cody Parker of Cal Poly, before settling for an 8-2 victory. ?We tell Ty that when he wrestles his style, not too many people in the country are going to beat him,? Zalesky said. ?Cody took a couple of shots early, but Ty eventually took control. He wrestled a very solid match.? The Beavers also picked up runner-up points from second-seeded Eric Stevenson at 125, who fell 4-1 to top-seeded Tanner Gardner of Stanford. Bobby Pfennings forfeited the championship match at 133 to Darrel Vasquez of Cal Poly. Third-seeded Derek Kipperberg lost his 149 title match to top-seeded Morgan Atkinson of Cal State-Fullerton 8-4. Pfennings has been bothered by a nagging hamstring injury and the coaches decided that it would be beneficial for him to concentrate on becoming healthy for the NCAA Championships rather than risk further injury. Fourth-seeded Kyle Bressler took third place honors at 184 with a 9-0 victory over Brysen French of Oregon. Fifth-seeded Travis Gardner finished fourth after falling in the 197 match to third-seeded Jason Trulson of Arizona State. Unseeded Keegan Davis captured fifth place with an 8-2 win over six-seeded Daniel Alejandro of CSUB. The top three placers at each weight plus nine ?wildcards? advance to the March 17-19 NCAA Championships in Detroit. Pac-10 coaches were meeting at press time to determine the wildcards.

Oregon State Narrow Favorites To Win PAC 10 Conference Tournament By Flowrestling [Article]February 21st, 2007 | Author: FlowrestlingThe Pac 10s are the first of 11 conference tournaments. From here on out the intensity of every match is turned up across the nation. Cal Poly started out as the front runner in this years Pac 10s but has been shaken by All American Chad Mendes deciding to sit this year out and a lack luster dual meet performances. Jim Zalesky has transformed Oregon State in what seems like a heart beat. If there is a front runner for this years tournament it is Oregon State. They are narrow favorites over Cal Poly and UC Davis. Jim will have to watch out for his older brother Lennie who heads the UC Davis squad that also has a legitimate shot at taking the title. In years past you could expect Boise State and Arizona State to be in the mix but this year has clearly been a rebuilding year and would take outstanding performances from Arizona State athletes to win it, while Boise State would need something next to a miracle. Below are the rankings for each of the weight classes: 125 133 141 Sooners Travel To Lone Star Duals, OU Returns From Christmas Break With A Trip By Flowrestling [Article]January 4th, 2007 | Author: FlowrestlingNORMAN, Okla., -- The No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners hit the road to begin Tenth Ranked Central Michigan Advances 5 Wrestlers To Finals By Flowrestling [Article]December 21st, 2006 | Author: FlowrestlingTenth-ranked Central Michigan University advanced five wrestlers to the finals en route to the team title at the Reno Tournament of Champions. The championship is CMU's first at the event. Oklahoma State had won the tournament four straight years and nine times in the 12 years it has been held. The Chippewas tallied 132.5 team points, while Oklahoma State was runner-up with 131. Oregon State was third with 96.5 team points. CMU held a commanding lead in the team standings entering the medal round, as five Chippewas advanced to the finals of their respective weight classes: No. 3 seed Trevor Stewart (165 pounds), No. 1 seed Brandon Sinnott (174), No. 1 seed Christian Sinnott (184), No. 1 seed Wynn Michalak (197) and No. 3 seed Bubba Gritter. All five finished runner-up, however, and a pair of Oklahoma State wrestlers claimed individual titles to nearly rally the Cowboys. An 8-0 major decision over eighth-seeded Brandon Kelly (Newberry) highlighted Trevor Stewart's run to the finals at 165. He won five straight to earn a date with defending national champ Johnny Hendricks (Oklahoma State) in the championship match, but Hendricks scored a 15-5 major decision in the final. Hendricks was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler. Brandon Sinnott claimed a 9-4 decision over No. 8 seed Nick Corpe (Purdue) and a 6-5 decision over No. 5 Nick Hayes (Northwestern) on his way to the finals at 174. He fell to No. 3 Ken Cook (UC Davis), 9-4, in the final. Christian Sinnott was dominating in the early rounds, claiming a pair of major decisions and a tech fall to advance to semis. He was a 9-4 winner over unseeded Greg Gifford (Arizona State) in the semifinals, but dropped a 5-1 decision to Ian Murphy (Cal State Fullerton) in the championship match. Michalak, the defending Reno champ at 197 pounds, posted falls in each of his first two matches, then claimed decisions over No. 8 seed Jason Trulson (Arizona State) and No. 4 seed Nate Moore (Purdue) to advance to the finals. In the final, however, second-seeded Mike Tamillow (Northwestern) scored a pair of takedowns in a 6-2 victory. At heavyweight, Gritter earned a 3-2 decision over No. 2 seed Ty Watterson (Oregon State) to earn a spot in the finals, where he fell to Cody Parker (Cal Poly), 10-3. Also placing in the top six for CMU were Luke Smith (fourth, 125 pounds), Brandon Carter (sixth, 149) and Eric Neil (sixth, 157). CMU returns to action at Midlands in Evanston, Ill. on Dec. 29-30.
