1 } – Iowa wrestling coach Tom Brands explains how the HWC Showdown Open came together
The idea for Sunday’s Hawkeye Wrestling Club Showdown Open was first hatched more than three months ago. Iowa coach Tom Brands sought a competitive opportunity for his wrestlers, despite them being few and far between. By the time Sunday arrives, it will have been almost eight months since the Hawkeyes last competed — at the Big Ten Championships in March. So Brands and his staff thought of doing it themselves, not unlike how Flowrestling, Rokfin and others have put on similar events during the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic. “We’ve been kicking this around since late July,” Brands said Tuesday during a video conference. “This event took a lot of work with our compliance and our administration. A lot of work with a lot of people.”
The result looks like this: An eight-match undercard featuring plenty of Hawkeye wrestlers, young and old, will be the appetizer to Sunday night’s 9-bout main card, which will showcase many of Iowa’s best against some of the best wrestlers on the planet. It will be held at the new Xtream Arena in Coralville and will be streamed live on Trackwrestling. This isn’t the first time Iowa has planned an outside-the-box wrestling event. … rest of story at https://www.press-citizen.com/story/sports/college/iowa/wrestling/2020/10/27/iowa-wrestling-coach-tom-brands-explains-how-hwc-showdown-open-came-together-xtream-arena-coralville/3756667001/?mc_cid=2e944b01db&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
2 } – Dutch wrestling team thrives with diversity
PELLA—The Central College wrestling team is using its status as one of the most diverse programs on campus as a way to unify towards a common goal.
Central’s 52 wrestlers come from far and wide to wrestle in the state many consider the mecca of wrestling. The Dutch roster includes 33 from out of state. and has a heavy West- Coast lean, featuring features nine student-athletes from California, eight from Arizona, four from Washington and one from Hawaii.
“We take a tremendous amount of pride in our geographical and racial diversity,” coach Eric Van Kley said. “Our goals are far greater than just making great wrestlers, we want to make great young men that when they leave here are able to interact and work with a variety of different people. We think embracing that on a team for four years is a wonderful opportunity.”
Other states represented on the roster include Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas. With geographical diversity comes racial diversity as well. About one-third of the roster identifies as something other than just white/European-American. … rest of story at https://athletics.central.edu/news/2020/10/29/dutch-wrestling-team-thrives-with-diversity.aspx?mc_cid=69b31ff737&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

4 } – How Accountability in Wrestling has Helped Lombard Excel Off Mat
Continuing the series that began in 2016-17, each Wednesday MGoBlue.com will highlight a Michigan student-athlete and their academic pursuits. These are our Scholar-Athlete Stories, presented by Absopure.
By Jonah Wolf
There’s more to sports than the competition. Wrestling since the age of 6, Nick Lombard has always welcomed both the team environment and individuality of the sport. Not only has Lombard shined on his way to competing at the University of Michigan, but the sport has led him to greatness off the mat as well. A native of Monroe Township, N.J., Lombard moved from one block M to another. Lombard learned about U-M from alum Sal Profaci (2015-19), who also was from Monroe Township. After Profaci committed and it was Lombard’s time to decide, Michigan was already one of his top choices. “I have been wearing the block M ever since I started high school and when it was my time to make the decision, the academic resources and athletics across campus made things easy for me,” he said. “I get to be surrounded by student-athletes who want to be great on and off the field.” Lombard soon will graduate with a degree in business administration, … rest of story at https://mgoblue.com/news/2020/11/4/scholar-stories-how-accountability-in-wrestling-has-helped-lombard-excel-off-mat.aspx?mc_cid=68c338ad78&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
5 } – Bryce Meredith: What I learned from Mark Branch
Mark Branch, the current head wrestling coach at the University of Wyoming, was a two-time NCAA champion (1994 and 1997) and a four-time finalist for Oklahoma State (1994-97). Bryce Meredith was a three-time All-American (2016-18) and two-time NCAA championship finalist (2016 and 2018) for Wyoming.
Branch coached Meredith at Wyoming for three seasons. The following are Meredith’s thoughts on what he learned from Branch.
ARE YOU A POTATO OR AN EGG?
“Mark Branch is a very tough guy. He’s one of those dudes where if you’re not winning or where if things aren’t going right, then you go harder. You become tougher. It could become easy to become bitter toward coaches like that. “If you look at who he was as a wrestler, the dude had torn ACLs at nationals and was winning them. You can’t say to him, ‘Well you do it,” because he did it. He did the things that we did. We had this crazy workout. We had this horrible week and he called it a potato egg workout. “There’s this weird quote: The same boiling water that makes a potato soft makes an egg hard. It’s not your circumstances, it’s what you’re made of. “He went nuts on it this one day. We ran so many sprints. We ran sprints for two hours and all this kind of stuff. He went to a place where he was trying to break us. It was one of those moments where I really had to call the warrior inside. I had to dig deep. It was me and one other kid who really didn’t break. We were hitting the time every single time. I felt like it was one of those unbreakable moments where I was like, ‘Yes!’ I dug deep and became a different human because of what he put me through. … rest of story at https://www.trackwrestling.com/PortalPost.jsp?TIM=1604895636023&twSessionId=akrfvypagb&postId=874534135&mc_cid=5c187c6cfd&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

8 } – Five D3 hammers you need to know
Division III wrestling was shaping up for a fascinating finish last year after a captivating regular season. Four teams occupied the No. 1 spot in the national rankings at various points. Wartburg posted two wins against Augsburg, which defeated Loras, which ended Wartburg’s 220-meet conference dual win streak.
There were plenty of stars and storylines to track on the individual front, as well, and many of the top performers are back.
Here’s a look at five Division III hammers you need to know about:
Ryan Anderson (Centenary) — Finished his senior season in high school as the nation’s top-ranked 145-pounder after winning the Ironman and Beast of the East. Went 30-3 with 15 falls last year as a freshman at 149 and went unbeaten against D3 competition.
Cornell Beachem (Mount St. Joseph) — A dominant two-sport athlete who scored 18 touchdowns as a running back and went 21-0 on the mat at 174 with 17 bonus-point victories. Earned Fargo Greco-Roman All-America honors in 2016.
Jordin James (Mount Union) — Followed up a national championship year in 2019 at 133 by going 26-2 with 16 bonus-point wins last season at 141. Owns a 64-3 career record at the D3 level. … rest of story at https://www.trackwrestling.com/PortalPost.jsp?TIM=1606102194007&twSessionId=xwqwqkqerj&postId=878651135&mc_cid=d6bdb93622&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
9} – How Millikin wrestling coach Ryan Birt took the program from nonexistent to CCIW champions in five seasons
DECATUR — The Millikin wrestling room near downtown Decatur is currently quiet as the defending CCIW championship team is gone for Thanksgiving break. It’s an unusual silence for the room that has been the home for nearly 50 wrestlers each of the past five years since the program returned to Millikin in 2015 after being halted in 2008. Head coach Ryan Birt has been the guiding hand for the program through five seasons and through the hard work of his early teams. He saw the wrestling room transform from an empty auto parts store to one of the premiere facilities in Division III wrestling. “Celebrating five years means a lot of hard work from a lot of people,” Birt said. At the low point of the program in 2008, just three wrestlers finished the season uninjured. But when Millikin athletic director Craig White considered expanding the university’s sport offerings in 2015, one program stood out. “I have always admired the sport of wrestling,” White said. “There is a level of discipline and toughness that must be learned in order to be successful in the sport. … rest of story at https://herald-review.com/sports/college/millikin/watch-now-how-millikin-wrestling-coach-ryan-birt-took-the-program-from-nonexistent-to-cciw/article_34c2f177-c57a-57f3-a25f-cf8915a69781.html?mc_cid=0d9bace552&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
10 } – What I’m Thankful For: Brock Hudkins
As Thanksgiving approaches, we are all reminded to be thankful for what we have in our lives today. Thanksgiving is more than a great big meal to fill up on with family or an excuse for everyone to cheat their diet “just one time”. It’s a time to escape the questions of the future and truly reflect on the path we have taken to get where we are in life. As individuals growing up, we tend to take the little things for granted and forget to be thankful. Have you ever wondered why grandparents hug you the longest and tightest or why parents sacrifice so much for us? Whether it be a special moment in our lives that we may reminisce over years later or simply a good home cooked meal made by our mom. The older I become the more thankful I am for those little things I took for granted such as being surrounded by loved ones laughing and joking, not having to worry about financial issues, or even getting to play video games for hours with my brother.
Thinking about my path and those around me, will always be a blessing with a significant part of who I am and the man I will become. The impact that they have on my life has taught me more about myself than I could ever imagine. I couldn’t be more thankful for the way my parents raised my brothers and I to not only respect ourselves, but to always give back and appreciate those that have sacrificed so much. As cliché as it may sound, I’m thankful for my big brother who has always had my back and been a huge role model to me despite beating me up a few times back in the day! Even my Nana that would quietly slip me money for ice cream so my parents wouldn’t know. … rest of story at https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2020/11/26/wrestling-what-i-m-thankful-for-brock-hudkins.aspx?mc_cid=de5a36abdc&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b\

1 } – Exclusive: ‘The Last Champion’ Trailer Sees Cole Hauser as a Former Wrestling Star Seeking Redemption
Cole Hauser stars in the new inspirational sports drama The Last Champion and Collider is home to the exclusive premiere of the movie’s stirring trailer. Hauser currently stars on Yellowstone alongside Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, and Wes Bentley. But the actor, whose previous credits include Good Will Hunting and Olympus Has Fallen, is taking a break from his hit show to star in the Redburn Street Pictures sports drama about a former wrestling champ who is seeking redemption following a scandal which cost him his Olympic medal.
The trailer for The Last Champion opens to see John Wright (Hauser) return to his small hometown as a former wrestling star living in the shadow of his past. Once on the fast track to Olympic glory and pride of his home town, an incident in John’s past now joins his list of burdens as he tries to save his mother’s home from foreclosure. Encouraged by friends, Wright decides to return to the wrestling mat where he discovers one young man on the team (Sean H. Scully) could have what it takes to go all the way if he could, in fact, get out of his own way. … rest of story at https://collider.com/the-last-champion-trailer-cole-hauser/?mc_cid=97ab69a0c8&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

4 } – New wrestling movie ‘The Last Champion’ features Montana connections
GREAT FALLS — On the surface, the new movie The Last Champion feels like it could be set in Great Falls. An Olympic wrestler from a small town? Check. A disgraced former athlete seeking redemption? Check. “It’s a story mainly about redemption and hope and inspiration,” said co-writer and producer Ivy Withrow. “It’s a story about a man who was an Olympic champion and he had a moment in his life where he really fell from grace. And the movie is about his journey to kind of pull himself out of that really dark place that he was.” The main character, John Wright, might as well be an amalgamation of some of the most well-known athletes in Electric City history. But the connections to Great Falls go much deeper than just familiar plot lines.

Great Falls High School alumnus Olivia Longin makes her screen debut in a speaking role. “I was just a student at the University of Idaho studying theater, film and television, and, through the department, I was hired to be a stand-in … rest of story at https://www.montanasports.com/high-school-sports/wrestling/new-wrestling-movie-the-lash-champion-features-montana-connections?mc_cid=de5a36abdc&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b

Find out how the 2018 world champ got the nickname ‘Magic Man’, and how he overcame his biggest weakness on the mat.
David Taylor is one of the most exciting names in freestyle wrestling right now. After almost a year out of the sport in 2019 with a serious knee injury, the 2018 world champion at 86kg appears to be back to his best. In March, he qualified USA’s place at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics after a comfortable gold medal-winning performance at the Pan-American Olympic Qualifiers in Canada. Following the COVID 19-enforced lockdown, the two-time NCAA champion’s aggressive style was back on full display in July, when he crushed Myles Martin 11-0 in an exhibition match. Due to the ongoing pandemic, there will be no American athletes at the 2020 Wrestling World Championships in December. But wrestling fans wanting to see Taylor tested against the best may still be in luck.

9} – ‘It’s crippling’: COVID-19 pandemic has financially thrashed college athletic departments
The enduring images of college athletics are often ones of triumph and exuberance. Over the past seven months, however, that reliably rosy picture has become more grim. The far-reaching impact of the COVID-19 pandemic financially has ransacked college athletic departments across the country, including those in Western Pennsylvania. With many teams sidelined, seasons postponed or shortened and fans largely prohibited from attending games, schools have been deprived of precious resources — ticket sales, money from guarantee games, a percentage of donations — that allowed them to thrive or, at the very least, function. Previously unforeseen costs, primarily related to virus testing, have emerged. Painful cuts have had to be made. Through it all, universities have been forced to confront short-term concerns and grapple with long-term, existential questions about what kind of wreckage and rebuilding awaits when this is all over, whenever that might be. “I think everything is going to be re-examined,” … rest of story at https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/Pitt/2020/11/29/pitt-panthers-penn-state-nittany-lions-covid19-pandemic-ncaa-duquesne-dukes-robert-morris-colonials/stories/202011080031?mc_cid=9fce5d3dda&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
