d3wrestle.com/WWSport.com Wrestler of the Week: Willy Holst

The d3wrestle.com/WWSport.com Wrestler of the Week is Willy Holst of Augsburg College.  Wrestling in the 149 lb. weight class, Holst was undefeated at the NWCA National Duals while helping Augsburg to a first place finish.  He used a fall, tech fall, and major decision to help Augsburg reach the finals against Wartburg.  Against top seeded Wartburg, second ranked Holst defeated defending NCAA champion and #1 ranked Jacob Naig 6-3 to help seal the 21-20 victory for Augsburg.  Holst now sits at 8-0 on the year.

A senior from Prescott, Wisconsin, Holst is in his second year of competition for the Auggies.  He transferred into Augsburg from the University of Minnesota where he began his college career in 2002.  He was also the 2004 FILA Jr. Freestyle National runner-up to future NCAA champ Brent Metcalf.  Last season, he was 32-3, finishing 3rd in at the NCAA championships at 149 lbs.  He joined the Auggies late this year, officially competing for the first time at the Sunshine Open in December, but he has quickly moved to the top of the d3wrestle.com and NWCA rankings after his win over Naig.  Augsburg returns to action this Friday against North Dakota State.  Holst and Naig may have a rematch when Wartburg visits Augsburg on January 30th.

d3wrestle.com/WWSport.com Wrestler of the Week: Andy Moore

Andy_Moore

The first d3wrestle.com/WWSport.com Wrestler of the Week in 2009 is Andy Moore of the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse.  Moore, who wrestles in the 197 lb. weight class, won three matches this past weekend at the North-South Duals against good competition.  Moore, ranked #5, defeated Zach Pizarro of Wilkes, ranked #6 in the latest NWCA rankings, as well as d3wrestle.com Contender Martino Sottile of Cortland and Martin Porter of Delaware Valley.  Moore’s three wins run his record to 14-5 on the year.

A junior from Delafield, Wisconsin, Moore came to La Crosse from Heritage Christian School.  He won 21 matches as a sophomore and 15 as a freshman, but he has come on strong this year and made his way to the #5 spot in the national rankings.  He hopes to make his first trip to the NCAA tournament this year, though he faces an uphill battle with two higher ranked wrestlers at 197 in his own conference.  Moore and the rest of the Eagles will be back in action this weekend at the NWCA National Duals where the team is seeded fifth and will take on the University of Dubuque in the first round.  A win there would likely put them up against 4th ranked Coe.

This weekend features two big dual meet events with the NWCA National Duals at UNI and the Budd Whitehill Duals at Lycoming.

The NWCA National Duals features the top four teams from the latest NWCA rankings as well as six of the top ten.  Wartburg and Augsburg are the top two seeds yet again, with #3 Delaware Valley and #4 Coe looking to spoil another Wartburg-Augsburg finals matchup.  The top three teams all received boosts to their lineup as the calendar flipped over to 2009.  Augsburg and Wartburg each gained a 149 lb. wrestler.  Wartburg got back defending NCAA Champ Jacob Naig, and Augsburg saw a return to the lineup from NCAA 3rd place winner Willy Holst.  Delaware Valley got two wrestlers back in 285 lb. Kyle Bilquist, fresh off a win over defending champ Laurent of UW-Lax, along with 174 lb. Rocky Mantella.  The immensely talented Mantella has yet to live up to his potential, but Coach Totten hopes 2009 is the year he does so.  Eight #1 ranked wrestlers should be competing this weekend in Cedar Falls along with eight #2’s.  Wrestling kicks off at 9am Saturday and concludes Sunday afternoon.

National Duals Website

The Budd Whitehill Duals enters its 15th year of competition in 2009 and again features a tough lineup of teams.  Tops on the list is #5 UW-Whitewater.  Ithaca, Wilkes, Cortland, and TCNJ are other teams in the top 20 and should round out the top five seeds.  Ranked in the 20-30 range are host Lycoming, Messiah, and York.  Individuals of note include Mike McInally of RIT (#4 at 125), Adam Kriwinsky of John Carroll (#7 at 133), Austin Bautista of UWW (#1 at 141), Paul LeBlanc of Cortland (#3 at 149), Willie Horwath of Ithaca (#8 at 157), Chris Dahlheimer of Lycoming (#5 at 165),  Karl Voeck of UWW (#3 at 197), and Jon Schmidt of UWW (#4 at 285).  165 will see the most firepower, as #5 Dahlheimer, #6 Nagel of Whitewater, #9 Zempel of Messiah, and #10 Bonitatis of TCNJ should all be competing.  Competition begins Friday and concludes Saturday.
