Colstrip Nakoda Siegel commits to Campbell University

COLSTRIP — One of Montana’s top-ranked wrestlers will head to the Division I ranks next year.

Colstrip senior Nakoda Siegel, last year’s Montana Class B-C champion at 170 pounds, has given his commitment to Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina. He and coaches confirmed the commitment to MTN Sports on Thursday evening.

“They flew me out there Sunday (Nov. 4), right after the game in Big Timber, so I went to Billings Saturday night and they flew me out,” Siegel said Friday morning. “(The team) was actually at the Hokie Open (at Virgina Tech), so I didn’t see them until next day, but they took me out for breakfast, showed me around campus. I’m looking into (majoring in) physical therapy and they have an awesome facility, it’s pretty sweet.”  One of Montana’s highest wrestling recruits this winter, Siegel says the coaching staff, a who’s who of former wrestlers, helped secure the commitment to join the Fighting Camels’ program. Head coach Cary Kolat, a former United States national champion and Olympic team member, is in his fifth season as the head coach at Campbell, sending a program-record five student-athletes to the 2017 NCAA Championships.  The Camels’ coaching staff also boasts a two-time national champion and three-time all-American in Dean Heil, two-time all-American in Scotti Sentes and three-time national runner-up Mike Evans.  Rest of the story at https://montanasports.com/high-school/wrestling/2018/11/09/colstrip-wrestler-nakoda-siegel-commits-to-campbell-university/?mc_cid=30b74f007b&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
