FOLLOW ALL COVERAGE HERE ON FLOWRESTLING Midlands Are Approaching By Flowrestling [Article]December 28th, 2007 | Author: FlowrestlingEVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern University is set to host the 2007 Midlands Wrestling Championships, Dec. 29-30 at Welsh-Ryan Arena. This year marks the 45th installment of one of the most prestigious events in collegiate wrestling. The annual tournament attracts hundreds of the most talented wrestlers from around the country in a two-day, four-session double-elimination tournament. Founded by Northwestern's Ken Kraft, the Midlands Championships are held every December in Welsh-Ryan Arena. The tournament has historically brought together the very best in amateur wrestling, and has provided the springboard for 92 Olympic wrestlers. Last year's champion, Iowa State, returns to the site of its victory for another shot at the title. The Big Ten had previously dominated the tournament as Illinois won the previous three Midlands Championships, while Iowa and Minnesota combined to win the nine before that, dating back to 1990. Four top-10 teams are competing in Midlands "45," headlined by No. 1 Iowa, No. 2 Iowa State, No. 6 Central Michigan and No. 9 Northwestern, according to the latest release of rankings by the USA Today/InterMat/NWCA Division I Coaches Poll Individually, the Midlands host a plethora of individual talents searching for an NCAA Championship at season's end, including defending Midlands Champions: Angel Escobedo (Indiana) at 125 lbs., Nick Simmons (Michigan State) at 133 lbs., Ryan Lang (Northwestern) at 149 lbs., Mike Poeta (Illinois) at 157 lbs., Jake Herbert at 184 lbs., Mike Tamillow (Northwestern) at 197 lbs. and Tervel Dlagnev (Nebraska-Kearney) at heavyweight. "Midlands is one of the best events in college wrestling," Northwestern head wrestling coach Tim Cysewski said. "A Midlands championship, a Big Ten championship and an NCAA championship, that's the triple crown of college wrestling." Wrestling Shocks No. 5 Michigan; Wins Two Of Three At Northeast Duals By Flowrestling [Article]November 25th, 2007 | Author: FlowrestlingTROY, N.Y. - Down 16-6 with three matches to go against No. 5 Michigan, the Maryland wrestling team completed an improbable comeback to take down the Wolverines, 18-16, in its opening match at the Journeymen/BRUTE Northeast Duals. Redshirt junior Josh Haines took down the No. 3 ranked wrestler at 184 pounds, redshirt sophomore Hudson Taylor scored his first of three falls on the day, and redshirt freshman Patrick Gilmore completed the run to steal the win. The Terrapins went on to beat Appalachian State, 31-7, before losing to No. 9 Central Michigan. The Terps were down 16-6 after seven matches against the Wolverines with redshirt sophomores Brendan Byrne and Stephen Bell opening the dual with a pair of decisions. Michigan's powerful lineup, which featured three wrestlers ranked in the top five in their respective weight classes, rattled off five straight wins to take the commanding lead. Maryland's wrestlers kept the damage to a minimum though, allowing four decisions and one major. Haines, who pinned No. 16 Eric Chine last weekend, ended the Michigan streak with a stunning upset of Todd. After a scoreless first period, Haines rode out Todd to accumulate 2:00 of riding time. In the third, Haines scored an escape and a takedown. Todd's only point came on a stalling penalty to Haines. Taylor recorded his fifth pin of the season, and most important one to date, in the first period against Anthony Biondo to pull the Terps within one, 16-15, with just the heavyweights to go. Gilmore and his opponent, Matthew Guhn, went back and forth with Gilmore almost recording a pin at the end of the first and second periods. Gilmore began to pull away though with a 14-11 advantage and then closed the match out with an escape and a takedown to give Maryland one of its biggest wins in program history. Freshman Eric Medina scored the most impressive win of the dual against Appalachian State as he recorded an 11-2 major decision against senior Scott Ervin, ranked No. 5 in the nation at 149 pounds. Medina's upset tied the team score, 7-7, and started a seven-match win streak to give Maryland the easy 31-7 victory. Both Taylor and sophomore Mike Letts recorded falls in their respective matches against the Mountaineers. Taylor picked up his third pin of the day when he ousted Vincenzo DiDona of Central Michigan. It was the Terps' only win against the Chippewas in a 36-6 setback. Maryland (4-3) will host its first action of the season at Comcast Pavilion when Lehigh visits College Park on Sunday, December 2 at 2:00 p.m. MARYLAND 18, MICHIGAN 16 MARYLAND 31, APPALACHIAN STATE 7 CENTRAL MICHIGAN 36, MARYLAND 6 Bring On The Chaos. By Flowrestling [Article]November 12th, 2007 | Author: FlowrestlingLou Ruggirello of Hofstra and Tyler Shinn of Okie State shook up the 133lb weight class this weekend. They beat Tyler McCormick and Coleman Scott respectively. That is the #2 and #1 wrestlers in the country falling, for all extensive purposes, in the opening weekend of the 2007-8 Season. I believe this is a foreshadowing of the chaotic things to come in 2008. It is anybody's game in every weight class. I think Hofstra is a team that is proving that if you do the right things to build a program you can make it happen no matter who you are or what your past. Central Michigan is another team that is shaking things up and of course we cant exclude UTC, who upset Ohio State for the second straight year this past weekend. Of course Ohio State are contenders and so is Missouri, Northwestern, Edinboro and Cornell. All teams with very little past that are or becoming National Contenders for a National Title. Am I missing someone else? The weight classes are wide open most notably heavy weight but obviously now we can see 133lbs is also wide open especially if last years highest place winner fell to his "back up". Tyler Shinn has definitely shook things up and is demanding a a whole new level of respect just like the aforementioned teams. Hang on because this year it will be chaos. Teams like Hofstra and wrestlers like Shinn are inciting it.

By Flowrestling [Article]April 9th, 2007 | Author: FlowrestlingColumbia, Mo. - Missouri Director of Athletics Mike Alden announced today that wrestling Head Coach Brian Smith has signed a five-year contract that will have him leading the Tigers through the year 2012. "We're very pleased to be able to do this for Coach Smith and the Tiger wrestling program," Alden said. "Securing Brian in this way helps ensure the stability of the program and it is undoubtedly a win-win situation for everyone involved. The job that Brian and his staff have done to build this into one of the nation's premier programs has been remarkable to watch, and he's been such an outstanding representative of the University of Missouri over the years. This is a great day for Mizzou." Coming off of a season in which the Tigers recorded a program-high third place finish at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships and tied the previous Missouri wrestling best Big 12 finish at second, Smith will enter his 10th season with the Tigers this coming fall. In dual competition, Smith earned his 100th Missouri career win Dec. 9, 2006, with a 31-9 victory over then-No. 11 Central Michigan. Smith is 110-55-1 in his nine years at Missouri and owns the highest Tiger wrestling coach winning percentage at 66 percent. "When I came to Missouri I had a vision of where I wanted to take the wrestling program," Smith said. "We are getting closer but there is still more work to be done and goals to accomplish. Contrary to the rumors that had me leaving Missouri, I have had no reason to want to leave the University and have had every reason to stay here. Most importantly, my family and I love the Columbia and the University communities. My wife teaches at the same school all three of my children attend and we've been involved in trying to bring a new Catholic High School to Columbia and that is going to happen. Another reason this is one of the best coaching jobs in the country is because of the tremendous support given by the wrestling alumni, boosters and fans. My administrators, Mike Alden and Sarah Reesman have shown continued support for the program since I began my career here in 1998. My goal and theirs is to win a national championship." Since Smith's inaugural season, the Tigers have continued to improve both on the mat and in the classroom. Missouri crowned its first wrestling Big 12 Champion in 2003 with Tyron Woodley (Ferguson, Mo.) and its first wrestling National Champion last season in Ben Askren (Hartland, Wis.), a feat he repeated in 2007. A total of eight wrestlers have earned 15 All-America honors with seven earning nine Big 12 titles. Askren, Missouri's 174 pounder, has received national recognition as a two-time Dan Hodge Trophy Award recipient, wrestling's equivalent to the Heisman, as well as multiple tournament honors and was named the 2006 NCAA Championship Most Outstanding Wrestler. "This was a very important deal for us to complete. Brian's stock has risen tremendously over the past few years and we wanted to recognize him for all the wonderful things he and his staff and student-athletes have accomplished," Senior Associate Athletic Director Reesman said. "There is no one I would rather have running this program. Brian's expectations mirror the department's and institution's in every aspect, from athletics to academics to community service. This program is one in which the entire Mizzou community may take great pride." |
