From great to greatest: How returning NCAA wrestling champions prepare to be even more dominant in 2025

Penn State’s Carter Starocci is unquestionably one of the best college wrestlers of all time. With four NCAA titles and two Big Ten titles to his name at 174 pounds, he’s already solidified himself in the history books with the chance to win an unprecedented fifth Division I NCAA title this year, now up at 184 pounds.

But Starocci’s main focus this year is less on his last title and more on how he can improve. “I really find peace in training and getting better,” Starocci said. “My dad used to always tell me, ‘every day, you have the option: either get better or get worse. If you stay the same, everyone else around you is getting better, and that means you’re getting worse’…so every single second of the day I really try to utilize ‘is this going to help me, or is it not?” 
Starocci is one of seven returning champions from 2024 looking to add to his resume this season, and he’s the only champ from last year with more than one title. Ohio State’s Jesse Mendez, Virginia Tech’s Caleb Henson and Penn State’s Levi Haines all earned All-American honors as true freshman, finishing sixth, fifth and second respectively at 141, 149 and 157 pounds before winning their first titles as true sophomores last season.

Blugolds mourn loss of longtime coach and friend Don Parker

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire athletics program mourns the passing of longtime wrestling coach and friend Don Parker. Parker passed away November 13 at the age of 79. Parker was an instrumental figure for the UW-Eau Claire wrestling program. He served as head coach of the Blugolds for 32 years in a career spanning from 1977 to 2009. He coached countless wrestlers over the course of his time with UW-Eau Claire and had an immeasurable impact on the campus community. Parker’s teams produced one national champion, 12 All-Americans and 15 conference champions. He became the school’s first recipient of the WIAC Wrestling Coach of the Year award when he received the honor in the 1999-00 season.
Parker was also an assistant Blugold football coach for 12 seasons and an instructor in the Department of Kinesiology. A native of Hawkeye, Iowa and a four-sport letterman at North Fayette County Community School, Parker was a state wrestling champion in high school and then went on to win two NCAA Division II titles at State College of Iowa, now known as the University of Northern Iowa. As a Division II national champion, he qualified for the NCAA Division I tournament where he placed sixth at 191 pounds in 1967. A three-time North Central Conference champion and conference MVP in 1966, he wrestled in the first NCAA All-Star meet.
Before arriving in Eau Claire, Parker spent four years as the head coach at Upper Iowa University following stints at Zion-Benton High School in Illinois, Vernonia High School in Oregon and Hillsboro High School in Oregon. Parker served as president of the NAIA national wrestling coaches association in 1986-87. He was named NAIA District 14 Coach of the Year in 1987. He was inducted into the Northern Iowa Hall of Fame in 1986, the NCAA Division II Hall of Fame in 2000, the Iowa Glen Brand Hall of Fame in 2007 and the National Wrestling Hall of Fame-Wisconsin … more at … https://blugolds.com/news/2024/11/14/wrestling-blugolds-mourn-loss-of-longtime-coach-and-friend-don-parker.aspx

This will be the 28th consecutive season of publicizing the TDR Top 12 rankings and awards. The win-loss record is from the end of last year.

Cornhuskers Take Down Campbell, No. 25 UNC

Behind 12 bonus-point victories, the No. 4 Nebraska (3-0-0) wrestling team took on a Friday double header in North Carolina, defeating Campbell (1-3-0), 40-6, and No. 25 North Carolina (2-1-0), 34-3, earning the first road wins and ranked victory of the year. Heavyweight Harley Andrews led the Big Red in dual points, claiming a combined 11 points for the team.
The Huskers started in Buies Creek, N.C., at Jim Perry Stadium, for the program’s first ever outdoor dual, at Campbell’s baseball field. The “Dual on the Diamond” started at 125 lbs. Redshirt freshman Alan Koehler took on Campbell’s No. 29 Anthony Molton. Molton defeated the Husker with an 8-0 decision powered by two takedowns, an escape and the riding time point. At 133, No. 23 Domenic Zaccone pulled off an overtime upset over No. 11 Jacob Van Dee after wrapping three periods tied at 1-1. Zaccone got the takedown to claim the 4-1 decision and push the Camels’ lead to 6-0.
No. 4 Brock Hardy got the Big Red on the board with a tech. fall over Michael Trujillo in 6:37 time. Hardy’s 17-0 victory at 141 put the Huskers within one of Campbell after three matches. Due to conditions on the mat, the dual was moved indoors to the Carter Gym, between the 141 and 149 bouts.
After relocating, No. 5 Ridge Lovett went 2-2 in wins by fall to open his senior season, pinning Oliver Fairchild in just 2:16. At 157, No. 4 Antrell Taylor made quick work of Seth Larson pinning the Camel in just 10 seconds. Taylor’s win pushed the Husker lead to 17-6. In the sixth match of the afternoon, No. 18 Bubba Wilson at 165 notched his first dual win of the season with a statement major decision, 16-3, over Kendrick Hodge. 
At 174, No. 6 Lenny Pinto put up a 19-4, 4:18 tech. fall against Brant Cracraft before No. 6 Silas Allred pushed the Big Red to the 31-6 lead with another 19-4 tech. fall, in 2:43 time at 184. At 197, freshman No. 28 Camden McDanel claimed his first collegiate major decision, 17-5, defeating Mike Slade.

NCAA D1 Wrestling Week 2 Roundup: Journeymenmania

The world’s finest collection of noteworthy happenings from the 1st week of the 2023-24 NCAA D1 wrestling season.
This week’s D1 schedule featured a mix of tournaments, both of the bracketed and round robin variety, and out-of-conference dual meets, as is common this early in the season as teams get their match counts up and continue to figure out their lineup questions and roster battles. 
We’ll start the week as we did last week, with the Dual of the Century of the Week, because this is a pro-dual space. Duals are the lifeblood of the college season. No duals, no season. No season, no fans. No fans, fewer new wrestlers, and then the sport is forever diminished. 
The Dual of the Week, of the Century
Last week we celebrated Wyoming starting the season on Halloween with the Dual at the Daddy. This week we celebrate the Citadel for locking down a dang aircraft carrier as setting for their double dual meet. UVA won seven matches to spoil the party for the hometown Bulldogs, winning 24-11, while the Runnin Dawgs of Gardner-Webb were stopped in their tracks by a stout Army squad that put a 35-6 thumping G-WU.
Thing is though, an outdoor match next to the South Carolina shore in early November sometimes has a humidity problem. And so the two duals that were scheduled to take place later in the evening (Army vs the Citadel and UVA vs GWU) did not happen.  But ya know, that’s life and that won’t stop me from celebrating that we still got do dual meets on the deck of an aircraft carrier. 
There was also a collegiate women’s dual between Presbyterian and Campbellsville, and it was a thriller. Campbellsville led by two points heading into the final match, but Ella Beam secured the 10-0 tech to score 4 team points for the Blue Hose (and no points for the Tigers) which put Presbyterian on top 23-21 (freestyle dual meet scoring is a little different but we don’t have time for that now). Additionally, Division II power Lander triumphed over Newberry, 31-6. … more at … https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/12985683-ncaa-d1-wrestling-week-2-roundup-journeymenmania
