No. 19 WVU Tops App State Wrestling in Debut for New-Look Varsity Gym
BOONE, N.C. — The opening home dual of App State Wrestling’s 2024-25 season featured more significant firsts.
The Mountaineers won two matches and held late leads in two other high-profile battles during a 37-8 loss to No. 19 West Virginia on a cold, snowy Friday that didn’t deter an enthusiastic crowd. It was the debut for a new-look Varsity Gym, highlighted by the unveiling of a C. Philip Byers Scoreboard with video capabilities and a Barker Arena display. Spectators filled new premium bleacher seats on the main floor of Varsity, putting groups of fans on three sides of a new competition mat.
“It was a really awesome atmosphere tonight, and I’m really thankful for our fans and all of App Nation that showed up,” App State head coach JohnMark Bentley said. “It was a great atmosphere to compete in. Obviously, I wish we would have performed a little better, but the venue was awesome.”
Carson Floyd’s overtime takedown gave him a 4-1 decision over Rune Lawrence at 197 pounds, and Kaden Keiser’s 21-5 tech fall of Blake Boyers at 149 pounds produced five team points for the Mountaineers (0-2 with a pair of losses to top-20 opponents).
West Virginia (3-0) earned bonus points in six of its eight wins. Finishing the first period on top, eighth-ranked Will Miller held a 3-1 lead with 1:41 in riding time entering the third period at 165 pounds against third-ranked Peyton Hall, a two-time All-American. Miller went up 4-1 on an escape early in the third and nearly followed that with a takedown, but Hall prevented a score and produced a tying takedown with 43 seconds left.
With Miller’s riding time falling under a minute, he was unable to record a tiebreaking escape. Instead, Hall put Miller in a compromised position that led to a signal for back points before ending the match by fall with 11 seconds left.
The other dramatic match started the dual, as App State’s Chad Bellis jumped out to a 7-1 … more at … https://appstatesports.com/news/2024/11/22/no-19-wvu-tops-app-state-wrestling-in-debut-for-new-look-varsity-gym.aspx

In Memory of Coach Jerry Daniels
| We pass along this notice for a worthy cause. We remember “Mousey” as a positive man with a great love of wrestling and people. Your support would be appreciated. — TDR Editor & Staff |
| Friends of Coach Jerry Daniels You may have heard the sad news of the passing of Coach Jerry Daniels in Raleigh on June 20,2024 at the age of 92. He was well known to thousands of people primarily because of his absolute passion for the sport of wrestling. He coached at two colleges, a couple of high schools and refereed hundreds of high school and college wrestling matches for over 60 years and served as a coach at summer wrestling camps for over 50 years! Imagine how many kids and coaches knew him! Imagine how many fans yelled at him for making a “bad call” as a referee! You know if you talked for any length of time with Coach, you never forgot him. The purpose of this contact with you is to ask you to consider something special. Anyone who talked to Coach always got an earful of wrestling stories. In all the stories, his absolute love for the sport of wrestling shined through. Another thing that always shined as well was his attitude of serving people and going out of his way to help people…of all stripes. He often worked for free or stepped outside of his world of wrestling to give help or advice to someone. He would often drive for miles or stay up late into the night to help someone. My quick personal story with Coach began my junior year at NC State when he came to be our assistant wrestling coach, after leaving the head coaching job at Pfieffer College. At the beginning of my senior year, my head coach Al Crawford suddenly died at a wrestling tournament in Atlanta, GA. This led to Coach Daniels becoming head coach of the Wolfpack, a position he held for 7 years. He finished with a 60-36-3 dual meet record. He continued in the sport for many more decades as a camp clinician and referee. For me personally, my contact with him literally changed the trajectory of my life. I digress a bit to give you the brief story. My senior year, he gave me a copy of the first Athletes in Action magazine. Inside there was a story about AIA starting a new traveling all-star wrestling team to travel the US and around the world with the goal of competing at the highest level and sharing their faith with anyone who would listen. Long story made short, we joined AIA wrestling and never got back to the hopeful engineering career. Wrestling for the USA on two world championship teams and the Pan Am team changed everything for me. Now, I am a Certified Financial Planner. Who knew? My life was forever redirected, humanly speaking, because Coach Daniels handed me a magazine and said, “Hey you might be interested, read this.”. He did that because he cared for me! I am forever grateful that he cared. You too may have a similar impactful story. We want to honor Coach Daniels with a permanent memento in Reynolds Coliseum, to memorialize his life and influence. Consider joining me and my friends to make this happen as soon as we can, preferably before the current wrestling season ends. I would love to honor Coach and give a token of our appreciation to his family at a dual in January or February. This means we need to fund it before the end of 2024. Our goal is to raise at least $25,000. We already have big start with a couple nice gifts and look forward to seeing what you may consider. Any size gift will be greatly appreciated. Keep in mind that gifts made to the Wolfpack Club in support of this initiative are tax deductible and will honor Coach Daniels as well as supporting wrestling in our community. Your gift can be made online by clicking Coach Daniels Wrestling Fund or by check made payable to Wolfpack Club, PO Box 37100, Raleigh, NC 27627. If you have questions don’t hesitate to call me, or you can reach out to Ben Broussard at the Wolfpack Club, Ben.Broussard@Wolfpackclub.com or by phone at 919-605-2321. Thanks!

DANVILLE, Va. — No. 17 Averett University men’s wrestling cruised to a 41-3 home win over Southern Virginia University in Old Dominion Athletic Conference action on Thursday night in the Grant Center.
Averett (4-1, 2-0 ODAC) won nine of its 10 matches in the dual against Southern Virginia (0-1, 0-1 ODAC). The Cougars improved to 8-1 all-time in duals against the Knights after earning their eighth consecutive win in the series.

Jones: Anthony Robles Movie Will ‘Change How People Look At Wrestling’
Arizona State wrestling coach Zeke Jones thinks the movie ‘Unstoppable’ will be a game-changer for wrestling.
Arizona State coach Zeke Jones answered the phone Tuesday while shuffling papers, returning text messages, planning practices and reviewing movies.
Wait…what?
Wrestlers and wrestling fans worldwide know Anthony Robles as the Arizona State wrestler who was born with one leg and still won a 125-pound NCAA title in 2011. He wrote a book in 2012 titled “From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion.” From that book, the movie “Unstoppable” will be released in theaters and on Amazon Prime in mid-January.
The advanced movie screening will be shown Thursday night in Mesa, Arizona, as part of a red-carpet, fund-raising reception and Jones is nothing short of thrilled. “That movie is going to do more for wrestling than probably any wrestler is going to do for wrestling this year,” Jones said. “We are going to go worldwide, in every country in the world, and share the message of wrestling — that anyone can wrestle, that anyone can do it … that life is a struggle, but wrestling teaches us how to manage the life struggles and how to become all the things we want to be in life.”
Proceeds from the event will benefit ASU’s NIL Collective and the Robles Unstoppable Foundation, which is dedicated to assisting high school student-athletes who need guidance and financial support to pursue higher education. The official movie trailer can be found on YouTube.com … more at … https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/13045803-jones-anthony-robles-movie-will-change-how-people-look-at-wrestling
First year College Women’s programs news
UW-Oshkosh starts its first-ever women’s wrestling program as sport grows across Wisconsin
It’s the fourth college in the state to add the sport along with UW-Stevens Point, Lakeland University and Carthage College
The fastest growing high school sport in the country is spreading in Wisconsin, and colleges in the state are stepping up to meet the demand.
The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh started its first-ever women’s wrestling program this fall, becoming the fourth school in the state to add the sport along with UW-Stevens Point, Lakeland University, and Carthage College.
Over 150 high schools in Wisconsin now offer girl’s wrestling. The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association has a girls’ division at its boy’s state tournament, and it plans to host a separate state girls’ wrestling team tournament beginning in 2026.
“Before, it was really intimidating for girls,” UW-Oshkosh head coach Jared Costa told WPR’s “Wisconsin Today.” “They had to wrestle boys. They were probably one of two or three (girls) in the program.”
Costa sees the success of girls in wrestling attracting more participants to the sport. That includes one of his team captains, Paige Haaf, a freshman who graduated from Saint Croix Falls High School.
She started wrestling three years ago when her coach, Joe Raygor, started a girls’ program at the high school and youth levels. … more at … https://www.wpr.org/news/uw-oshkosh-womens-wrestling-sport-grows

GREENVILLE, S.C. (Nov. 19) – For a third consecutive week, the University of Mount Olive women’s wrestling team earned Conference Carolinas Wrestler of the Week, as sophomore Savannah Bramhall garnered the accolade on Tuesday afternoon.
A native of Charlotte, North Carolina, Bramhall produced a 5-1 record in the 160-weight class this week with five falls.

Multi-Talented Kai Orine Taking On New Challenge For NC State Wrestling
After reaching the NCAA podium twice at 133, Kai Orine is moving up to 141 for his final season with the NC State wrestling team
Suffice it to say, Kai Orine might not by your typical college wrestler. Off the mat, Orine is a very talented artist who has worked on designing different graphics and art for the NC State Athletics Department. His undergrad program was Art and Design, and he spent the summer in Prague to fulfill a class requirement. Orine also serves as the in-house barber and tattoo artist for the Wolfpack wrestling team, as he has done all of his own tattoos as well. “I’m very comfortable with how I’ve matured into my position on this team,” said the Imperial, Missouri native. “I’ve been around long enough where I’m very comfortable with being honest with myself about where I am on and off the mat here in Raleigh.”
On the mat, Orine has been a huge part of the success NC State has had over the last few years as a starter each of the last three years. But due to Covid, the 2024-25 season will serve as a ‘bonus year’ for Orine. “I think this is the most different year thus far,” Orine said. “I think that is because I’ve basically gone through everything there is to go through already in my time here.
“Being here so long, there is not that much that will surprise me now.” One surprise for Wolfpack fans during the preseason, was the weight class Orine will be at this year. After earning All-American honors and winning an ACC championship each of the last two years at 133 pounds, Orine will be spending his final season in Raleigh at 141.
It is not unfamiliar territory for Orine. After redshirting the 2019-20 campaign, Orine was at 141 in the shortened Covid season of 2021. The weight cut was tough on Orine to get to 133 pounds in his sixth season, and the move up to 141 allows the Pack the option to redshirt 2024 All-American Ryan Jack before his final season of eligibility. … more at … https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/13045155-multi-talented-kai-orine-taking-on-new-challenge-for-nc-state-wrestling

#10 Owen Trephan Transfers To Lehigh
Heavyweight All-American contender Owen Trephan will transfer to Lehigh to finish out his college eligibility.
In huge transfer news, heavyweight Owen Trephan will finish his college eligibility at Lehigh University after spending the first five years of his career at NC State. Trephan is a two-time NCAA Qualifier and will enter the rankings at #10 based on his win this year over current #10 Luke Luffman and his wins last year over #16 Jim Mullen and #15 Dayton Pitzer.
Trephan had the following to say about his transfer to Lehigh:
“NC State will always be home to me, and I’ll forever be a part of the Wolfpack. I’m incredibly grateful for the support Coach Pat and the staff have given me over the years, as well as the memories I’ve made with my teammates. That said, I’m excited for this new opportunity at Lehigh, I believe fully that they give me the best possibility to reach my fullest potential and get on the podium in March.”
Trephan was the starter for NC State the past two seasons but was forced out of the starting lineup after #5 Isaac Trumble moved up to 285 pounds from 197. Trephan will slot into the lineup perfectly for the Mountain Hawks after formerly ranked #8 Nathan Taylor went down with a season-ending injury the first weekend of the season.

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.
