Bear lose to Oregon State

25 Jan 2015
Details

The USA Greco team took on the World team in a dual meet at Butler Hancock at UNC before the college dual meet of UNC versus Oregon State. The event is part of the Jack Pinto Cup dual meet series.

U.S. National Coach Matt Lindland was looking for a competitive dual meet with an opportunity to promote Greco-Roman wrestling. Mission accomplished on both fronts. Phase I of the Jack Pinto Cup was a big success as the United States battled an international team in a Greco-Roman dual meet on Friday (Jan 23rd) night at the University of Northern Colorado.
The U.S. dropped the first three bouts and stormed back to win the next three before the international World team won the final match to earn a 4-3 victory. “It was a real positive night for Greco-Roman wrestling,” said Lindland, an Olympic and World silver medalist. “It was a chance to expose our sport to a broader audience and it gave our guys a chance to compete against some top foreign wrestlers. The crowd was into it when our guys opened up. They want to see points.”

 The dual meet between Oregon State and UNC before a large home town crowd proved that Northern Colorado still has plenty of work to do before it hits the regional NCAA tournament in March. The efforts of the Bears was not lost on the crowd as they kept looking for a break. It was near the end of the dual that there was some light at the end of the tunnel.  The 197 lbs. and 285 lbs. match had the most action for the Bears wrestlers. Both wrestlers won their matches with a 3 – 1 decision. Trent Noon (Northern Colorado) dec. Cody Crawford, 3-1. 285 – Brian Macchione (Northern Colorado) dec. Nate Keeve, 3-1.

“It was huge for us to get those wins,” said first-year Northern Colorado coach Troy Nickerson, an NCAA champion for Cornell. “Nobody likes to get shut out – it’s not fun. We wrestled well at heavyweight. Our 197-pounder, I think he could’ve wrestled more offensively. He didn’t look his best, but he came away with a win and that’s always nice.
“We have a lot to work on and tonight proved that. There’s one direction to go and we’re just going to keep building.”

It is hard to win matches when you lose in the takedown category as Oregon State wrestlers scored 26 takedowns to Northern Colorado 7 takedowns in the ten matches.

Oregon State coach Jim Zalesky has the same mindset as a top-level coach that he had as a standout wrestler. Wrestle aggressively and put points on the board.
Zalesky’s Oregon State team did exactly that, scoring bonus points in the first eight matches en route to a 40-6 win over Northern Colorado on Friday night at Bank of Colorado Arena.
Nationally ranked Ronnie Bresser (125 pounds) and Taylor Meeks (184) were among the Beavers wrestlers who turned in strong performances.
The No. 14 Bresser downed No. 19 Trey Andrews by a 16-6 major decision to start the dual. The No. 7 Meeks won by an 18-2 technical fall over Keith Johnson. Oregon State’s biggest win of the night came at 165 when Seth Thomas rallied from deficits of 8-2 and 10-7 to record a third-period fall over No. 19 Mitchell Polkowske.
Oregon State recorded three falls, two technical falls and three major decisions in the win.

Pine Creek posts second-highest team score in winning Metro Wrestling Championships

25 Jan 2015
Details

Pine Creek didn't have much to worry about heading into the final round of the 15th annual Colorado Springs Metro Wrestling Championships.

A substantial lead and six wrestlers already locked into one of the gold-medal matches meant the Eagles had all but sealed their second consecutive team title and sixth overall title at the Metro Championships.

The finals matches, meanwhile, proved to be just another stride toward a Class 5A state title.

Pine Creek won four individual titles and took first in the 27-team tournament with a score of 300 points at Doherty High School on Saturday. Coronado finished second with 215 points and Mesa Ridge followed in third with 205.

It marked the second-most points ever recorded by a team at the Metro Championships and fell just short of the 314.5 points set by the 2011 Cougars, who went on to win the 5A state title that year.

"Yeah, it's great for our confidence. This is another step toward our state goal," eighth-year Pine Creek coach Billy Gabel said. "We're excited to win it, but our main thing is to fix things and get better from this tournament."

Nothing seemed in need of repair Saturday. Lane McAdams won by forfeit in the 120-pound class after Doherty's Samuel Gonzales bowed out for an undisclosed medical reason. Dylan Dashner's reversal takedown in the final seconds was good enough to beat Coronado's Jimmy Weaver 4-3 at 170. And sophomore Jordan Martinez (113) and senior Taylor White (285) repeated as tournament winners with a pair of pins.

"We have a lot of goals and this tournament shows us what we can do if we keep training hard," said Martinez - the returning tournament champion at 106 - after he pinned Air Academy's Benjamin Markworth in 1:26. "But we have to take it one match at a time."

Touting 10 wrestlers in the top-10 of their respective weight class in 5A, the Eagles are probably better than the team that finished fifth at state last season. On Saturday they proved as much, as they had 10 of 14 wrestlers finish in the top three and 13 of 14 finish in the top five.

Of course, it won't matter if they can't finish on the right note come state-tourney time.

White knows that all too well after he tore his meniscus a week before state last season.

"It means everything to win at state," said the Pine Creek senior, following his pin of Widefield's Grayson Parton (3:16) in the 285 finals. "I know for me, I went into state and lost two early matches. I think a lot of us are back for redemption."

The night closed with the most anticipated match of the tournament. In it, Discovery Canyon's Sam Turner (4A No.1, according to On the Mat) had an escape in the third round to beat Coronado's Jess Hankin (5A No. 1) 1-0 in the 132 finals.

"That's one of the biggest accomplishments of my wrestling career," said Turner, who won the 4A state title at 120 last season. "He's one of the best wrestlers in the state. He's a state champion. It's right up there with any of my wrestling accomplishments so far."

Thompson Valley wrestling, loaded with tradition, in search of first state title

22 Jan 2015
Details

By Brock Laue, CHSAA Now.com

 

In 1977, Thompson Valley wrestling was in its second year of existence. The Eagles became a family affair as Dan Juergensen, the TV coach from 1977 to 2003, went 365-101-4 before giving the reigns to his son Dave, the current head of the program.

They haven’t looked back since.

Much has changed since 1977, but one thing remains the same — Thompson Valley wrestling is a force. The school in south Loveland has claimed 27 conference, regional, or district championships as a team in its 38 seasons. They’ve produced seven individual state champions. They’ve had greats like Johnny Ortega (155-11 career record), a 2008 grad who placed third, second, third, and first at the state meet, and Steve Gerrard, a state champ his senior year and a club national champion for Colorado State University in 2009.

So what’s missing from Thompson Valley’s storied tradition on the mat?

They have yet to earn a state championship as a team. After placing second at the 4A state meet a season ago, the highest finish in school history, this group of Eagles hopes to earn the ultimate prize.

“I think it would finally put us over the edge,” Thompson Valley coach Dave Juergensen said of the importance of a state title.

“We’ve always been known as a dual team and I’m really into duals. I think that brings the whole team aspect into the sport, but that would get a big monkey off our back for sure. We wouldn’t get the, ‘Well you guys have never won state’-type comments anymore. That would be huge.”

By all indications, Thompson Valley’s title pursuit is off to a great start. The Eagles captured the prestigious Northern Colorado Christmas Tournament championship for the first time in school history by racking up a monstrous 334 points, well clear of runner-up Pueblo County with 218.5.

“It meant a lot,” senior Ben Hewson, a state runner-up last year, said of winning the Christmas tournament. “Pueblo County, they are ranked second and are right behind us and we blew them out. It was a big one just to see where we’re at. Obviously we still need to work on stuff, but it was good knowing we’re ahead.”

“That one was special, because we had this round in the quarters where I think we only lost one match,” Juergensen added. “That kind of set the tone for the rest of the tournament. Then they seemed to pick up steam after the quarters and even finished it off in the finals.

“A lot of times when we are in those bigger tournaments, we’ve been getting to those finals, but not winning. I think they’ve just matured enough as a team where they are starting to get it done. We went right into Christmas break after that and felt good.”

A star-studded lineup with eight returning state qualifiers, five returning state placers, and seven

“Parker was our first state champ that we’ve had that wasn’t a senior,” Juergensen said. “This will be the first time ever that we’ve had the chance to have an individual be a state champion more than once and I think that’s special.”

Another thing that's special? Having an opportunity to earn title number one as a team.

“The intensity in the room has picked up a lot since last year and last year we were up there in the state, obviously,” Hewson said. “We all know what we need to do. We all want to win that state title.”

“We’ve taken fifth numerous times,” Juergensen said. “By getting to second, we realized that we’re ready to make a move and we’re about to the point where we need to make a run at it.

"Even in the finals (last year), there was one point there for about fifteen minutes when it showed up on the Jumbotron that we were in first. I think they saw that and got a taste of being in first at the state tournament. Because of that, we’ve just had blinders on and have been real focused all year. It’s a good group.”

wrestlers currently ranked No. 1 or 2 two in 4A in their respective weight classes and it’s no wonder top-ranked TV wears the target as the team to beat.

But, like most teams, the Eagles haven’t gone through the season free of adversity. Parker Simington, undefeated and ranked number one at 160 pounds, had a minor knee injury at the Arvada West Invite on January 17. The junior was still able to finish the match and won by technical fall, but Juergensen said they will be cautious with Simington and sit him out of the lineup for a few weeks.

A slight injury certainly doesn’t change Juergensen and his team’s expectations though.

By Tom Blair

The 51st annual Arvada West Classic Invitational is always one that you must circle your calendar to either have your team entered into it or go and watch as a fan.  This year tournament provided some great action on the mat even with the low team count as there were only 15 teams at the tournament this year as five teams pulled out after last year issue of transfer student at Arvada West.  Placement were for the top four wrestlers in each of the 14 weight classes.

The A-West Wildcats, ranked No. 1 in the latest On the Mat rankings produced to Tim Yount, won their own tournament Saturday night. Pomona (5A, No. 2) finished second, Thompson Valley (4A, No. 1) took third and Grand Junction (5A, No. 3) placed fourth in one of the deepest tournaments before regionals. A-West finished with three champions in seniors Jimmy Rothwell (145), Payton Tawater (152) and Devin Rothrock (220).

Rothwell dominated Grandview senior Randall Brown for a 9-1 major decision. While Tawater, returning state champion, had a bit of a tougher time in a match-up against the No. 1 wrestlers ranked at 152 pounds in 5A and 4A. His opponent Thompson Valley senior Ben Hewson jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the first period with a takedown and near-fall. However, Tawater rallied from the deficit to put out an 8-5 victory. Rothrock  pinned Grand Junction senior Tyler Zook in the first period to win the 220-pound weight class.
