Today’s update comes from 2014 NCAA 174 lbs. runner-up Anthony Bonaventura of Waynesburg

So far the trip has been everything I expected and more. It’s been a great experience and what makes it even better is I get to experience everything with a great a group of guys, that are doing there very best to represent D3 wrestling. Coach Hansen and Coach Mizer are great coaches, I would not be surprised if I see their respective programs make positive strides over the next year. Istanbul was awesome and made our way over to Bulgaria late last night. This morning we were able to watch some of Bulgaria’s best wrestlers compete at one of there national championship events. We were even able to get a quick workout session on the mats as these wrestlers were warming up for this event! I was able to drill/spar with two Bulgarian wrestlers that made the tournament finals at 86 & 97 kg. It’s great wrestling with these international guys and being able to feel the different styles of wrestling. I have been learning a lot and look forward to training/competing in Bulgaria the next 3 days and continue to improve. Overall this is a great trip and an awesome opportunity for any wrestler. I would recommend it to any wrestler who is trying to get to that elite level and be standing on top of the podium in March!

I’m a little behind on getting this posted. This update is from May 30, and the one from this morning was May 29.

Update #3 comes from Buena Vista Assistant Coach Zach Mizer

Today was our third day in Istanbul and our first day of competition. Instead of sight seeing, the guys got a few more hours to lounge around today and rest up. Actually ate Turkish pizza today (toppings included corn) which tasted pretty good. Most guys ended up getting three matches today against the Turkish team. Overall the team wrestled very well considering a bunch have very limited freestyle action prior to this trip. The guys really seemed to enjoy competing and it was good to see the guys rooting on their fellow teammates during the matches. After the matches everyone stuck around and traded gear and singlets with the Turkish team which was neat to see people converse without actually speaking the same language. All sight seeing day tomorrow and then tomorrow night we will head to Bulgaria!

2014CulturalExchangeTurkey

From 2014 NCAA 165 lbs. All-American Dylan Foley of Springfield College:

So here we are in Turkey, Day 2.

We started our day off exploring some of Istanbul’s most famous markets. The markets contained everything that you could imagine from foods and spices to clothing to jewelry so on and so forth. The communication barrier is a bit difficult to get around when working out prices, but we were able to barter and trade and work out deals. Everyone seemed to recognize us as American and came right up trying to sell all sorts of products.

After leaving the markets we sat down to a meal of shaved beef and bread in a red sauce, which was delicious. Most of the good here has been pretty good.

Today was also our first day of training and we jumped right in. We paired off Americans with Turkish and drilled shots and turns for a while followed demonstrations from 2008 the Olympic Gold Medalist from Turkey. We finished with live goes and matches. The practice was two hours long, but flowed well. The Turks were quick and flowed well, constantly looking for big moves, but we all held our own and competed tough! We compete for real tomorrow. Currently resting up before seeing the sights around our hotel!

Update from Coach Hansen:

Our group of 12 has finally arrived in Istanbul! Many of us have been together since yesterday afternoon where we met at the Edge in Hoboken, NJ. Huge thanks to Jeff Marsh and his staff for accommodating us. The group (which includes 6 All-Americans) have been patient through the travel process. We are excited to go eat in about an hour and tour the city.

The hotel here is very nice. The spa includes a sauna, steam and Turkish Hamam room which is one of the first things we took advantage of. Apparently there’s a tradition that we can’t leave the country without taking a Turkish Bath. So look forward to updates about that. Some of us have been trying to pick up the language and phrases. ‘Thank you’ is very difficult. No competition until after tomorrow. But someone will send an update soon.

The trip includes:
Coaches Nate Hansen (Simpson) and Zach Mizer (Buena Vista)
Jared Bronaugh, Buena Vista
Brett Roberts, Simpson College
Anthony Bonaventura, Waynesburg

Jason Zastrow hired to lead University of the Ozarks

Former Wartburg wrestler and assistant coach Jason Zastrow has been announced as the first head wrestling coach at the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Arkansas. Zastrow graduated from Wartburg in 2007 and has coached at Central College along with his alma mater. Read below for more.

U of O Hires Wrestling Coach With NCAA Championship Experience To Start Its Program

Clarksville, Ark.-The University of the Ozarks has hired former Wartburg College assistant coach Jason Zastrow to begin its men’s wrestling program for the 2014-2015 season, it was announced Thursday by Athletics Director Jimmy Clark.

Zastrow, a native of Coon Rapids, Minn., brings NCAA Division III championship experience from wrestling powerhouse Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. Ozarks, which announced its new men’s wrestling program in early May, lands an assistant coach from the most dominant NCAA Division III men’s wrestling program in the country. Zastrow served as the assistant from 2010-2013 where he helped the program to three consecutive NCAA Division III titles. The Knights also won three National Wrestling Coaches Association dual titles at the national level and three Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles. The Knights posted a 56-1 record during his time there.

“His national championship experience will be extremely valuable to our program,” said Clark. “He has been a part of the most successful NCAA Division III men’s wrestling program in the country. We feel fortunate to have a coach of his caliber with national title experience. He understands the value of NCAA Division III, and the role it plays within the collegiate experience.”

During his tenure at Wartburg, the program produced seven individual NCAA Division III titles, 22 All-Americans and 17 Academic All-Americans. Wartburg won its fourth-straight NCAA Division III Championship in March to bring its total to 11 National Championships.

“It is an exciting time not only for me, but also for the university,” said Zastrow. “We will all watch the program grow together. Wrestling is gaining popularity in the state, and it is a perfect opportunity for the campus to grow with it.”

Zastrow wrestled at Wartburg four seasons and qualified for nationals his senior year. He is especially thankful for the opportunity to work at an NCAA Division III institution like Ozarks.

“I want my wrestlers to have the same good experiences I had as an NCAA Division III student-athlete,” said Zastrow. “There is an equal balance between being a student and being an athlete at this level. Students have the chance to receive one-on-one attention academically and athletically. But they need to be students first. I not only want guys that wrestle well, but I want them to be good students and respected citizens. I want student-athletes that we are pride of after graduation.”

Prior to Wartburg, he was the assistant coach at NCAA Division III Central College from 2007-2010, where he helped turn the program around. His first season as an assistant, the Dutch went 0-12, but by his third year, the program posted a ten-win season. After Central College, he went to Springdale Har-Ber High School, where he served as the assistant coach this year. In his one season there, the Wildcats won a conference title and finished third in the state championships.

“He was part of a successful rebuilding process at Central College,” said Clark. “I have full confidence he will start us off right. He has a passion for wrestling and understands the NCAA Division III philosophy. Wrestling will bring a new dynamic to our campus and I am glad Jason will be a part of that.”

Zastrow’s chance to start a new program was one of the many elements that made the Ozarks’ job attractive.

“Not many coaches have the chance to start a new program,” he said. “It is exciting for me to be a part of it. Our incoming class has the opportunity to be the first group to make an impact on the program. We want to build one block at a time, and then eventually produce All-Americans. I want our kids to have a championship lifestyle. I want to see growth in the program each day. If we can be better tomorrow than we were today, then I think the program is heading in the right direction.”

The university is in the process of renovating an on-campus aquatics area into a wrestling facility. Clark said Greg Hatcher, of Little Rock, has been instrumental in helping Ozarks establish a new wrestling program.

“We are thankful for everything Greg has done in order for us to begin our men’s wrestling program,” said Clark. “His impact has been tremendous.”

Zastrow received his bachelor’s degree in history from Wartburg College in 2007. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in athletic administration from Coker College. He and his wife, Jenny, were married in 2011.

A pair of NCAA Champions won titles at the Northern Plains Regional this past weekend in Greco-Roman wrestling, qualifying them for the World Team Trials. Mike Fuenffinger of Augsburg had already qualified via his 2014 NCAA Championship at 125 lbs., but he also took the gold in the 59kg weight class. Fuenffinger finished 3-1 in the four man round robin and won based on a tiebreaker. He was previously a two-time Junior World Team member.

Joe Rau, a 2013 NCAA Champion for Elmhurst at 184 lbs., won the championship at 85kg in a seven man bracket that also featured 2013 184 lbs. All-American Dan Olsen of Wheaton and 2013 NCAA qualifier Johs Kohler of Augsburg who finished 2nd. Rau had previously placed 2nd in both the Minnesota Storm Holiday Cup and 2013 NYAC Holiday International and finished 4th in the 2013 U.S. Nationals.

In freestyle, two-time DIII champ Clayton Rush finished 2nd at 57kg while Kohler finished 4th at 86kg.

The previous weekend, former Stevens Point wrestler and current Muhlenberg head coach Jake Calhoun won the Northeast Regional in Greco-Roman at 66kg to qualify at that weight.

Only the weight class champions at each regional qualify for the World Team Trials. Freestyle takes place May 31-Jun 2 in Madison, Wisconsin, while Greco takes place June 13 in Daytona Beach, Florida.

PinCancer

“The World’s Toughest Sport is taking on the World’s Toughest Opponent.”

According to the American Cancer Society, in the year 2014 there will be over 1.5 Million new diagnosis of Cancer in the United States. Cancer affects each and every one of us on a daily basis, directly and indirectly. Being the toughest athletes in the United States, we need to take action to fight Cancer the best way we know how, to #WrestleForACure! In 2011, Dan Tramontozzi founded a non-profit organization called PinCancer. The goal is simple, to raise money for Cancer Research all around the United States by doing what we do best, wrestling!

There are many ways wrestlers, parents, fans and businesses can get involved with PinCancer and become a member of the PinCancer team. The most popular way you can get involved is through our pledge program. The way our pledge program works is a wrestler gathers sponsors for his or her season. Each sponsor pledges a certain dollar amount for each win, pin, and or takedown the athlete records in that season or amount of time, which was pledged to. Those donations are then sent to PinCancer and we donate the amount to Cancer Research foundations around the United States.

We hope that you become a member of Team PinCancer!

Tony Willaert, a 2o11 national qualifier for the Johnnies, has taken the reigns as interim head coach at St. John’s University. Brandon Novak, who had been the head coach for ten seasons, is moving into a full time football role as co-defensive coordinator. Novak coached many All-Americans and national qualifiers including three time NCAA champion Minga Batsukh. See below for the St. John’s release.

Novak Moves to Football, Willaert Named SJU’s Interim Head Wrestling Coach

L to R: Schiltz (standing), Novak, and Willaert

COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. – Former Saint John’s University wrestler and assistant coach Tony Willaert ’11 has been named the Johnnies’ interim head wrestling coach for the 2014-15 season, athletic director Tom Stock announced on Thursday, May 8.

Willaert replaces Brandon Novak ’01, who will concentrate on football full-time as the program’s co-defensive coordinator in 2014. In addition, assistant coach Kevin Schiltz will assume the role as the program’s top assistant and takes over as the athletic department’s equipment manager.

“I am honored to lead this tradition-rich program and its student-athletes,” Willaert said. “The bar has been set high and I’m excited for the opportunity.”

Willaert completed his third season as an assistant coach and was a national entrant as a senior at 197 pounds in 2010-11 for the Johnnies. Schiltz, meanwhile, has served as an assistant wrestling coach at SJU the past 12 seasons. A 1993 graduate of Augsburg College, Schiltz was a three-time All-American (1989-90, 1993) and a four-time MIAC champion (1989-91, 1993).

Thirty-eight Johnnies wrestled at the NCAA Division III Championships in 10 seasons under Novak’s direction, including 15 All-American performances and four national finalists, led by three-time national champion Minga Batsukh ’11. SJU posted an 82-73 dual record during his tenure. Novak will serve as a volunteer assistant wrestling coach in 2014-15.

“I am excited for Tony and the direction of the program,” Novak said. “The team is in good hands with Tony, and the addition of Kevin, full-time. SJU’s athletic department became a better one today.”

I would like to thank all of the wrestlers, alumni and parents that have contributed to the program the last 10 years.”

John Archambeau, formerly a coach and wrestler at Springfield College, has been named the first wrestling coach at Daniel Webster College in Nashua, New Hampshire. The team plans to begin competition next season, and will most likely compete in the Northeast Regional. See below for the official release.

Athletics: Daniel Webster Names John Archambeau First Head Coach of Wrestling Program

Nashua – The Daniel Webster College department of athletics has announced that John Archambeau has been named the head coach of the College’s new varsity wrestling program. The announcement was made by Director of Athletics Chris Gilmore.

“I’m very pleased to welcome John to the Daniel Webster athletics family,” said Gilmore. “He possesses a terrific acumen and has shown terrific enthusiasm to take on the challenge of building our wrestling program from the ground up. He is a true teacher of the sport and has the passion and knowledge we were looking for. With his guidance, we look forward to establishing a consistently winning program over the coming seasons.”

” I am excited to be a part of a new first year program in the world’s oldest sport and thank President Diffily and Mr. Gilmore for giving me this amazing opportunity,” said Archambeau, who begins his duties immediately. “It is a very unique, once in a lifetime experience. I am also very excited be able to coach at college level and do everything I can to ensure the student-athletes grow and develop on and off the mat to reach their fullest potential.”

“My first year I want to get as many incoming freshman and students already attending DWC to participate in this program that will become success from the start,” Archambeau. “I want to establish early that the number one goal for my athletes to get a quality education, be success in the classroom and on the wrestling mat, which I know will happen through hard work, commitment, and dedication.”

Archambeau is a native of Ludlow, Mass. and comes to DWC having spent the past two and a half years as a graduate assistant coach with Springfield College, where he also wrestled as a college athlete, graduating in 2011.

Over the past two seasons, Archambeau has helped coach an annual average of 40 student-athletes and the program’s success has been marked by 13 NCAA Division III all-regional honorees, eight national qualifiers, four All Americans, two Academic All-Americans, and one national champion. As a team, Springfield finished first in 2013 at the New England Wrestling Association’s (NEWA) Conference dual meet and placed second in 2014.

A member of both the National Wrestling Coaches Association and National High School Coaches Association, Archambeau owns a bachelor of science in Movement and Sport Studies with a minor in Health Education and Athletic Coaching, and will complete his Master of Science degree in Advanced Physical Education Licensure Pedagogy this May.

Archambeau excelled for the Pride as an undergraduate, earning NEWA All-Conference honors in both 2010 and 2011 and captained the 2011 squad to the NEWA conference title.

While an undergrad, Archambeau assisted his alma mater of Ludlow High School where he was a four-time state finalist and two-time state champion (2004, 2006). He coached both wrestling and track & field while serving as strength and conditional coach over four seasons and spent one season as assistant coach at West Springfield High.

Archambeau also holds the rank of Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force in the 42nd Aerial Port Squadron. He graduated from 2T2 Air Transportation as the top graduate of his class in 2008 and has served his country for five years which has included two tours in Afghanistan.

Daniel Webster announced the addition of wrestling as its 15th varsity program this past February. The program will compete as a NCAA Division III independent while seeking conference affiliation in the near future.

Ozarks officially adds wrestling

Update: I contacted the University of the Ozarks and was able to confirm that they are in the process of hiring a coach and also plan to compete in the 2014-2015 season.

Previous Post – Job Posting: University of the Ozarks

As mentioned in the previous post, the University of the Ozarks was planning to add wrestling pending Board of Trustees approval on April 26th. That approval has come, and the school has officially announced new wrestling and Cheer/STUNT programs. See below for the official release.

Athletic Department Expands, Adds Men’s Wrestling And Cheer/STUNT Programs

Clarksville, Ark.-The University of the Ozarks has announced it will add men’s wrestling and competitive cheer/STUNT to its athletic programs beginning in 2014-2015.

“The addition of these sports will allow students the opportunity to compete at the NCAA Division III level while earning a degree and developing their personal and professional calling,” said U of O President Richard Dunsworth. “Nearly 40 percent of our student-athletes achieved conference All-Academic status this year. And, a number of others have earned individual academic and athletic honors at the regional and national level. Student-athletes at the University of the Ozarks experience academic success and professional preparation, increasing further educational opportunities as well as greater job placement. It is a perfect time to create additional opportunities for young people to experience that success.”

Wrestling will become Ozarks eleventh NCAA Division III varsity sport. Ozarks is the sixth college in Arkansas to offer the sport, and the first NCAA Division III state college to do so. Ouachita Baptist University (NCAA Division II), Central Baptist College (NAIA) and Arkansas Baptist College (NJCAA) have added the sport recently. Lyon College (NAIA) and Williams Baptist College (NAIA) have announced it will field teams for the 2014-2015 academic year.

“Adding wrestling is an important part of our growth as an NCAA Division III institution in regards to enrollment and identity,” said Athletics Director Jimmy Clark. “Wrestling has seen an increase in popularity within the state, and in Missouri and Oklahoma, it is even bigger. In Texas, there is only one collegiate wrestling program, so we have an opportunity to bring in student-athletes that we couldn’t reach otherwise. The research we conducted found that wrestling brings in the second largest number of students other than football.”

The wrestling team will compete independently against programs in Arkansas and from surrounding states, including NCAA Division I and NCAA Division II opponents. The sport typically runs from November until February. Ten different weight classes are included during a match. At the NCAA Division III level, 88 institutions offer men’s wrestling.

Ozarks will be the only American Southwest Conference member to offer wrestling. According to the Arkansas Activities Association web site, 64 high schools in the state participate in wrestling.

Clark credits wrestling advocate Greg Hatcher, of Little Rock, with helping Ozarks establish its wrestling program. Hatcher, who is President of the Arkansas Wrestling Association, is funding mats and other equipment to assist in getting the team started.

“We have benefitted from Greg’s expertise, and we are appreciative of his desire to assist us in starting the program,” said Clark.

Ozarks will offer the only STUNT program in the state. The university also announced it will renovate the swimming pool area and convert it into a new wrestling and cheer/STUNT facility.

“We will offer the only STUNT program in Arkansas,” said Clark. “Competitive cheer/STUNT is another emerging market. We feel like this is a good fit for us, and we look to forward to offering students another opportunity to compete at the collegiate level. This is an exciting time for our athletic department and university.”

Ozarks offers baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis and wrestling at the NCAA Division III varsity level.
