Holy crap it’s cold. Like I know I live in Minnesota, but it’s
November 12 and the daytime high wasn’t the issue, it was the five
degrees this morning while getting the kids ready for school. I
chatted with ODU wrestling coach Steve Martin this morning. The
first thing he asked me was how the weather was. After an
expletive-laced retort, I finally answered with the current state
of the atmospheric conditions. You can get that update every day on
my personal Twitter account at 9:30 a.m. Central Time. I moved to
Minnesota for a job. I left Minnesota for a job. I came back to
Minnesota due to the proximity of my wife’s family and the
abundance of good wrestling in the midwest. It’s easier to do what
I do from here than say, my hometown. This is Short Time Shots, a
mostly daily look at the scores and more from the world of
wrestling. I’m Jason Bryant.
Dual Meets:
- Falls were the difference as Graceland earned
the big six from Trey Heckadon, Brennan Swafford and Drew Sams to
lift the Yellowjackets to a 24-18 win over Division III
Simpson College on Tuesday.
- Missouri Baptist opened up the season with a
30-18 win over American Midwest rival
Hannibal-LaGrange. Jordan Sanders and Quentin
Lawrence with falls there for the Spartans. They’ve got
spirit.
- Montana State-Northern got its first dual win
of the season as longtime rival and current Cascade Conference foe
Southern Oregon came to town and went home
unhappy. Returning national finalist Isaac Bartel registered a fall
in 90 seconds at 197 pounds to highlight the Lights victory - yes,
they’re the LIGHTS. Get it, Northern … Lights.
- I can’t seem to find any release or note, but apparently
William Penn beat Waldorf by
forfeit. Ok then.
- The top-ranked team in the NAIA women’s division, Life
University, knocked off Limestone 36-10
in that school’s first ever home dual. Alex Enriquez, Aysia Cortez
and Gabby Hamilton secured falls for the Running Eagles. Yes, the
RUNNING Eagles.

FROM THE
DWN:
- The first 23 teams in the
NWCA Division I Wrestling Coaches Poll remained the same this
week. Penn State, which won its 60th dual in a row, was No. 1 for
the 34th straight week, while Army West Point entered the poll at
No. 24, and Campbell and Purdue entered the poll, tied at No. 25.
It’s the first time in school history Campbell has been ranked in
the dual meet-based coaches poll, which dates back over 50
years.
- Davenport University in NCAA Division II announced it would
become an associate member of
the Great Lakes Valley Conference in wrestling along with the
men’s lacrosse program. While Division II qualifies through
regionals, there are a number of conferences that sanction
wrestling - wrestling members in the conference include Bellarmine,
Drury, Indianapolis, Lindenwood, Maryville, McKendree and Ouachita
Baptist. Bellarmine will depart soon as the school will transition
to Division I.
- Five Point Move returns with another blog feature from its
Greco-Roman outposts, Todd Allen gives us
The Williams Word, a breakdown and update of the Greco-Roman
happenings at Williams Baptist in Arkansas. Site founder Tim Hands
doesn’t disappoint as he also brings us
Matt Lindland’s weekly report.
- Ben Askren and Matt Dernlan discuss the Jaydin Eierman transfer
and the future of Regional Training Centers on the most recent
RUDIS Wrestling Podcast.
- Indian Hills Community College picked up the first commitment
in school history for the fledgling women’s program as
IAWrestle.com reports Chloe Clemmons has committed to coach
Cole Spree’s team.
- The 130kg Greco-Roman European Games champion, Kiryl
Hryshchanka,
was stripped of his gold medal after testing positive for an
anabolic steroid. I’m not going to try to pronounce. Sure,
Hyrshchanka, I can say that, but Dehydrochloromethyl-testosterone,
not so easily. Georgia’s Iakobi Kajaia is now the European Games
gold medalist.
- The Cedar Rapids Gazette reports a former Xavier High School
wrestler and current
University of Iowa student died on Monday according to an email
distributed by the UI campus community. Jeff Vipond was a two-year
captain of the Cedar Rapids Xavier High wrestling team.
- College journalism might be struggling some places, but at the
University of Pennsylvania, it looks pretty fair to me, at least,
from a wrestling standpoint.
The Daily Pennsylvanian features freshman Michael Colaiocco,
who’s already making an impact in Philly.
- The Knight Report, a Rivals-based Rutgers news site has posted
that Peter Lipari, a 141-pound NCAA qualifier for the Scarlet
Knights last season,
has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. He recently lost his
wrestle-off to highly touted freshman JoJo Aragona. The report
doesn’t go into much detail other than he’s in the
portal.
On The Network
- Chad Dennis brings Alex Meyer back on
The MatBoss Podcast to talk about the upcoming Chattanooga vs.
Iowa dual at Carver-Hawkeye and a number of things about the
Hawkeye program from Meyer’s perspective as an alum.
