Wrestling star comes home
It is a major understatement to say that wrestling is in the blood of Katherine Fulp-Allen Shai. Her father, Lee Allen, was a former three-time Olympian and coach. Her mother, Joan Fulp, a longtime advocate for women in wrestling, was recently inducted into the California chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Shai herself went far with the sport. She was named University World Champion while at Menlo College and was a two-time college national champion. She was also named as a wrestling team alternate for both the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.

Coaches save life of collapsed St. Ed wrestler
TDR Editor’s Notes; From back home in Ohio. Our compliments and admiration to Coach Jayne!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
By Mark Palmer, InterMat Senior Writer12/4/2018mark@intermatwrestle.com, Twitter: @MatWriter
Two coaches at the St. Edward High School wrestling program — ranked No. 5 in the nation by InterMat — are credited with saving the life a 15-year-old wrestler during practice last week at the Lakewood, Ohio school, WJW-TV, the Fox affiliate in Cleveland reported Monday.
St. Ed assistant wrestling coach Mark Jayne told WJW, “The student-athlete was gasping, could not breathe, there was like long gaps in between, so I know that does not count as breathing and he wasn’t responding.” Jayne, a three-time Ohio state champ for St. Ed who now teaches CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) in his health class at his high school alma mater, began using an AED (automatic external defibrillator) that another coach had brought to where the wrestler had collapsed, and applied the pads as directed to revive the student-athlete. Jayne, who is a certified instructor in using CPR, told WJW that AED machines automatically guide the user step-by-step through the process of reviving a patient. “You’ve got to look at the picture. It tells you exactly where to put it, so even though your adrenaline is running high, you know where to go,” said Jayne. Thanks to the quick response of Coach Jayne and his colleagues — as well as having easy access to the AEDs located throughout the St. Ed campus — the teenager was breathing when paramedics arrived.

Iowa escapes with 19-18 win over Iowa State
By Craig Sesker, InterMat Senior Writer 12/1/2018
IOWA CITY, Iowa — The Iowa-Iowa State rivalry used to be the best in college wrestling. But for the past decade and a half it hasn’t been much of a rivalry. The Hawkeyes had won 14 straight duals over the Cyclones entering Saturday’s matchup and hadn’t lost to ISU since 2004. The rivalry is back on now. The No. 23 Cyclones threw a huge scare into the fourth-ranked Hawkeyes by winning four of the first six matches and nearly pulling off a dramatic finish in the final bout. But Iowa recovered, bolstered by a last-second comeback win by Jacob Warner, to escape with a 19-18 win over ISU before 9,751 fans Saturday afternoon at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa dodged a huge bullet when ISU’s Austin Gomez threw No. 10 Austin DeSanto to his back late in their 133-pound match and nearly scored a pin. DeSanto fought off his back before the No. 14 Gomez, a highly touted freshman, prevailed 14-9. A Gomez pin would’ve given ISU the victory in the dual meet.

Princeton Stuns #8 Lehigh For First Series Win Since 1968 & First Top-10 Win This Century
Chris Ayres understands the mystique of Leeman-Turner Arena better than most. He’s won there as a wrestler, and he’s lost there as a coach. Yet there he stood, with the biggest win of his 13-year coaching career in the balance, at total ease while his guy trailed.
Minutes after classmate Dale Tiongson pulled out a victory he’ll remember for a lifetime, Brucki put the finishing touches on Princeton’s biggest team win in decades. The7th-ranked 197-pounder remained undefeated with a 7-4 win over 15th-ranked Jake Jakobsen to clinch Princeton’s first road win ever at Lehigh.
It was also the first Princeton victory in this series since 1968 (Lehigh leads it 54-6-1 at this point), and it was the first Top-10 win since Ayres came from the Mountain Hawks coaching staff to try and build something special at Princeton.
“I was proud of every single guy,” Ayres said afterwards. “Even when we lost, we wrestled our best matches. Quincy Monday was great. Marshall Keller was great. They just all wrestled like men.
“I live for these moments where the program makes the big jump,” Ayres added. “I think about everybody who has put time, effort and finances into this program. I’ve always felt like I had a great support group, and I feel like I work for them. It’s an amazing moment for sure.” Rest of the results and story at https://goprincetontigers.com/news/2018/11/30/wrestling-princeton-stuns-8-lehigh-for-first-series-win-since-1968-first-top-10-win-this-century.aspx?mc_cid=c2a2f476be&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
