A first for a Summerville girl wrestler: she goes to masters level competition
An 18-year-old senior at Summerville High School is the first female wrestler from her school to make it to masters level competition. Cailyn Kiolbassa wrestles in the 160-pound division. She wrestled hard against other girls at CIF Sac-Joaquin Section regionals competition Friday and Saturday last week at Central Valley High School in Ceres. So she was on a so-called active rest day, running more than four miles on the track and up and down the steep bleachers stairs at Thorsted Field on Monday, which was Presidents Day, a federal holiday for banks, many businesses, and most of her classmates. Several of her male teammates were hard at work too on the holiday Monday in the sweltering wrestling room at Summerville, practicing one-on-one takedowns to booming sounds like “Abra abra cadabra, I wanna reach out and grab ya,” from the 1982 global hit by the Steve Miller Band. …. story at https://www.uniondemocrat.com/sports/article_1cc4fd6e-5369-11ea-9340-97e16d688c80.html?mc_cid=d6242deb79&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

TOP 5 STORY LINES FROM WAshington WOMEN’S STATE
Every year some of the best female wrestlers come from the state of Washington. The state is primed with talent, evident by Team Washington’s first place finish in the Junior division at Fargo last year. On the third weekend in February, 224 young girls arrive at the Tacoma Dome with dreams of having their hands raised as a state champion. Some grew up watching older Washington legends, such as Desiree Zavala, Rachel Archer, and Whitney Conder. Younger girls may have been around to see the likes of Brenda Reyna or Cameron Guerin. With 14 state titles on the line (and team title), the WA state tournament never disappoints, and this year was no exception. …. story at https://www.wreaperwrestling.com/what-went-down-in-washington-top-5-storylines-from-wa-womens-state/?mc_cid=d6242deb79&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

Trackwrestling to stream inaugural Cliff Keen National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championships for free
Trackwrestling will stream next weekend’s inaugural Cliff Keen National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championships for free.  Archives of the historic first standalone tournament for NCAA programs offering women’s wrestling will also be available on Trackwrestling.  “This event highlights the explosive growth of the women’s wrestling movement,” said Travis Shives, Vice President of Sports, SportsEngine and Trackwrestling. “Trackwrestling is proud to be involved with this monumental tournament in an effort to expand the visibility and accessibility of women’s wrestling. This is an opportunity to showcase a historic event that will advance the entire sport.”  The March 6-7 tournament in Adrian, Mich., is the kickoff event to a month-long stretch in which top American women’s wrestling stars will be showcased in tournaments streamed on Trackwrestling. World champions Tamyra Mensah-Stock and Adeline Gray are expected to compete the same weekend at the Pan Am Championships, Olympic gold medalist Helen Maroulis and World champion Jacarra Winchester lead the United States team into the Pan Am Olympic Games Qualifier the following weekend and Olympic hopefuls will vie for tickets to Tokyo next month at the Olympic Trials.

Prior to the upcoming championships in Adrian, female wrestlers participated in the Women’s Collegiate Wrestling Association (WCWA) Championships. The WCWA tournament provided an opportunity for women to compete at a national championship event during the genesis of women’s college wrestling. In 2004, the first women’s college national championship took place and three years later the first official WCWA championship tournament was held, creating a culminating event for colleges offering women’s wrestling. …. story at https://www.trackwrestling.com/PortalPost.jsp?postId=613950135&mc_cid=c355acb3cc&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

In a state with no high school girls’ wrestling teams, a small college leads the way in NCAA D-I
CLINTON, S.C. (FOX Carolina) – There’s a sports wrestling revolution taking the nation over: women’s wrestling. It’s no longer just an amateur event, either, and a South Carolina college is leading the charge in legitimizing it. Presbyterian College, located in Clinton, is the smallest college in NCAA Division I athletics. But size doesn’t matter when it comes to leading; Presbyterian has started the first women’s wrestling team in NCAA D-I. And now, the sport is exploding. Women’s wrestling is quickly growing, with 22,000 girls wrestling at the high school level. But as of now, it’s only sanctioned at the prep level in 21 states. Neither North Carolina nor South Carolina have officially sanctioned it yet. This means for most of the time, girls have to wrestle the boys. Some girls don’t like this arrangement. Others say it helps make them tougher. But what the girls we talked to agree on is that they want to take the mat and grapple in their own class of girls. Against odds and doubters
Lillian Humphries is a sophomore at Presbyterian College, and she’s on the team. We caught up with her on a rare night of relaxation. Lillian and her team, known as the Blue Hose, just finished their first match. “It means a lot to me,” Lillian tells us. “It means a lot to the little girl I was when I was wrestling the boys with just how far women’s wrestling has come in such a short amount of time.” Lillian’s coach is Dany Deanda, whose story resonated with Lillian. Lillian’s loved for martial arts evolved into wrestling as a freshman at Blue Ridge High School. She was the only girl on the all-boys varsity team. And just like her teammates then, all of her opponents were boys too. …. story at https://www.foxcarolina.com/sports/in-a-state-with-no-high-school-girls-wrestling-teams/article_1ecd3472-591e-11ea-a4b1-332bb71e33fb.html?mc_cid=c355acb3cc&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

Iowa Beats Oklahoma State 34-6 in Carver Hawkeye Arena
The Cowboys were up against a tough one on Sunday night in Iowa. The Cowboys, in a bit of a rebuilding year, took on the top-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes in Iowa city — and they didn’t bode well. It started off with the fifth match in the series between Nick Piccininni and Spencer Lee. Oklahoma State fans were hoping for a repeat of last year’s heroics when Piccininni pinned Lee in front of a sellout crowd in Gallagher-Iba Arena. That didn’t happen as Lee rolled to a major decision 12-3 over Piccininni. …. story at https://pistolsfiringblog.com/iowa-beats-oklahoma-state-34-6-in-carver-hawkeye-arena/?mc_cid=32f7c8b41f&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

App State Finishes First in Division I Wrestling with Four Shutouts
BOONE, N.C. — The 2019-20 regular season is over, and App State Wrestling led Division I teams with four shutouts. That total topped the second-place number of three apiece from No. 1 Iowa and No. 10 Pittsburgh. Michigan State had two as the only other team with more than one shutout.
In all, App State accounted for four of the 28 shutouts this season in duals involving two Division I teams.   All four of the shutouts by App State (9-3) occurred over its last eight duals, and three of them involved an opponent that had a top-30 wrestler in its lineup. The Mountaineers won 48-0 against Presbyterian on Jan. 12, 45-0 against Duke on Jan. 23, 44-0 at The Citadel on Feb. 8 and 43-0 against VMI on Sunday. …. story at https://appstatesports.com/news/2020/2/24/-26-wrestling-app-state-finishes-first-in-d1-wrestling-with-4-shutouts.aspx?mc_cid=d6242deb79&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

3rd Season, Column 26; End of the Season News and Notes; ‘Cue the Local Angle; and some teams you need to know about
Whew. That was some season, folks. Let’s start with the obvious and branch out in all directions, shall we? The Iowa Hawkeyes have returned to the rarefied air their legion of black and gold clad fans love and expect them to occupy on a permanent basis. They are undefeated, ranked #1, have 9 of their 10 starting wrestlers ranked in the Top 10, and are favored to win both the BIG10 Conference Tournament and the National Championship. Stay healthy, wrestle to their seed and their own expectations, and the Hawkeyes will earn 2 more 1st place trophies this season to put next to their Midlands Title crown.
NC State finished their first ever undefeated dual meet season and the Pack did it in style. They went 15-0. They beat Pitt, UNC, and VA Tech back to back to back in 3 straight Top 10 showdowns. They doubled the score on SoCon Silver Medal team App State. They hammered E.I.W.A. force and perennial Top 10 team Cornell. They hung a near 20 point beatdown on Chris Ayres surging Princeton Tigers. They tripled the score on Virginia and crushed 11-5 Hostra by 30 plus. 9 of their 12 victims finished with winning records. They were 8th at the Cliff Keen and, a month later, 2nd at the Scuffle. Get the picture yet? The #AmericanWerewolves are coming to a mat near you. 4X defending National Champions Penn State lost twice this year, their first dual meet defeats in 5 seasons. That the losses were on the road to Top 5 ranked Arizona State and #1 Iowa by a combined 3 points did little to mitigate the shock waves felt throughout the sport. The Lions, by necessity, retooled their lineup at 125, 157, 184, and 285 but remain a legitimate BIG 10 Tournament and National title threat. That they are not favored to win either following the regular seasons conclusion remains startling, however, given the last decades results.
Campbell charges into the SoCon Tournament on a 9 match win streak and as the undisputed Regular season champs. Half the starters have a better than 4-1 win/loss ratio with 6 of them at 20 plus victories each. Add all those W’s up, mix in a couple of Silver showings at the Navy Classic and the Reno Tournament of Champions, and you’re looking at a Conference tournament favorite and a potential multiple AA showing in Minneapolis. …. rest of story at https://morewrestlingplease.wordpress.com/2020/02/25/3rd-season-column-26-end-of-the-season-news-and-notes-cue-the-local-angle-and-some-teams-you-need-to-know-about/?mc_cid=d6242deb79&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

Glenville State to re-start wrestling team after over 40 years

Glenville State Announces Dylan Cottrell as Head Wrestling Coach
Glenville, W.Va. – The Glenville State College Athletic Department is pleased to announce the addition of wrestling to the list of Pioneer athletic teams, as well as the hiring of Dylan Cottrell as the head coach for the new team.  
Cottrell comes to GSC after serving as an assistant coach at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island from 2017 – 2018. He also served as head coach of the Brown Wrestling Club.  
He was the first Big 12 Champion at West Virginia University in wrestling, an Academic All-Big 12 team member in 2016 – 17, a two-time Dean’s List honoree, a two-time wrestling team captain, and a three-time NCAA qualifier. Cottrell graduated from WVU with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications Studies and is currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Healthcare Administration from Marshall University. While earning his Masters, Cottrell has served as a coach for Cabell Midland High School.  
The GSC wrestling program is set to begin competition during the 2020 – 2021 athletic season as a member of NCAA Division II and the Mountain East Conference. “I am excited about the opportunity to bring back wrestling to Glenville State College and build a strong team culture from the ground up! I am looking forward to getting to work on the first recruiting class for the Pioneers and bringing future national champions to Glenville,” said Cottrell. “This personally is an amazing opportunity for me to get closer to my hometown of Spencer, West Virginia – and in the process build Glenville State College wrestling into a powerhouse program. Go Pioneers!”
 “We are extremely excited about Dylan leading our wrestling program,” said GSC Athletic Director Jesse Skiles. “I truly believe we found the right coach and mentor to re-start and lead this program. Dylan has a great background in wrestling, from being the first Big 12 Champion for WVU to helping to coach at Brown University. We are happy and excited to have this Mountaineer joining our Pioneer Family.”
 Wrestling will return to GSC for the first time since 1974. …. story at https://portal.nwcaonline.com/articles/NWCA_News/Glenville-State-Announces-Dylan-22-3-2020
