5/19/2002

CHATTANOOGA,Tenn. – Sarah Fulp-Allen of the SFPG Club, Brandy Rosenbrock of Warren, Mich., Erin Tomeo of Grove City, Pa., and Toccara Montgomery of Cumberland (Ky.) University earned their second consecutive titles in the FILA Cadet and Junior Women’s Nationals today at the Camp Jordan Center.

Fulp-Allen, a champion in the Cadet event last year, was the only wrestler to win titles in both age groups this year, taking both titles at 46 kg/101 pounds. Fulp-Allen won a pair of matches in each event. She pinned Caitlin Chase of Bloomingdale, Ill. in the Cadet final at 3:51 after shutting out Rachel Holthaus of the Hi-Flyers Club 9-0 in the semfinals. In the Junior event, she won by technical fall over Monica Harris of Missouri Valley College in the semifinals, then prevailed 13-8 over Gina Heinzelman of Saginaw, Mich. in the title match.

The other three repeat champions came from the Junior event. Rosenbrock, who won both titles a year ago, won the 58 kg/127.75-pound Junior title with a 9-1 victory over Cathilee Albert of Team Colorado. Tomeo won at 63 kg/138.75 pounds by pinning Issa Alvarez of Williamsburg, KY. in 39 seconds, and Montgomery also won at 68 kg/149.5 pounds.

Natasha Umemoto of Portland, Ore., completing her sophomore year at David Douglas High, was selected the Outstanding Wrestler in the Cadet Division after scoring an 11-0 technical fall over Silvia Cortez of Hanford, Calif. in the semifinals and pinned Alysse Straudjord of Minneapolis, Minn. in 1:00 of the championship match at 52 kg/114.5 pounds.

Katrina Betts of the University of Minnesota-Morris scored a 10-7 decision over Mary Kelly of Mahomet, Ill., a former Cadet World silver medalist, in the championship match at 50 kg/110 pounds and was selected as the Outstanding Wrestler in the Junior Division. Betts scored two pins to reach the finals, in 3:13 over Kristin Fujioka of Wahiawa, Hawaii in the quarterfinals and in 1:20 over Kera Pemberton of Neosho (Kan.) JC. Kelly also reached the finals with a pair of sub-minute pins and earned the Most Falls Award with 2 in 1:01.

Brooke Bogren of Carbondale, Kan., who won the Most Falls Award last year, added the 54 kg/118.75-pound title to her collection this year with a 6-4 victory over Jillian Yost of Team Knapp. Bogren pinned her first two opponents.

RESULTS FROM THE 2002 OREGON CLASSIC KIDS/CADETS

The "Bettis Poll" has been updated!! (1-23-02)

Andy Bowlby wins 2001 Championship Belt Series on the men’s University level, Eric Stevenson, Matt Lindland earn top ten honors.

USA Wrestling has named the winners of the 2001 Championship Belt Series on the age-group levels. This exciting system honors America's best wrestlers in each of the USA Wrestling's four age-groups for their accomplishments during the year.

The top point scorer in the series on the Cadet, Junior, FILA Junior World, University and Senior levels receives a handsome plaque.

Athletes only receive points on the specific age level where they compete. Points can not transfer from one age level to another age level.

University champion - Andy Bowlby of Newberg, Ore.

Andy Bowlby of Newberg, Ore. claimed the University level Championship Belt Series with 163 points, defeating runner-up Jamill Kelly of Stillwater, Okla. by 40 points. University athletes are 18-24 years old and their class has graduated high school.

Bowlby won a double title at the University National Championships, claiming gold medals in both freestyle and Greco-Roman at 286 pounds. He also claimed a silver medal at the Pan American Championships. Bowlby is a student at Oregon State Univ., and competes for the Orange Crush WC.

The Belt Series is based upon a point system, rewarding athletes for actual success in competition. Athletes who place in the major USA Wrestling events on the regional, national and international levels scored points in the series.

Each event is weighed according to importance and difficulty, in order to determine the most successful wrestler during the season. A wrestler also receives points for receiving the Most Outstanding Wrestler award and Most Falls award at the events. On the age group levels, points scored in both freestyle and Greco-Roman are combined for the final standings.

The Belt Series was created in 1990 to recognize America’s most successful age-group athletes. Among the past age-group Belt Series winners are 2000 Olympic Champion Brandon Slay, 1999 World Champion Stephen Neal, 1998 World Champion and 2000 Olympic silver medalist Sammie Henson, 2000 Olympic silver medalist Matt Lindland and 1996 Olympic silver medalist Brandon Paulson. Seven former age-group Championship Belt winners claimed NCAA Div. I individual titles, as well.

NEW INSURANCE BENEFIT

USA Wrestling Card insurance coverage now applies to all "well organized" wrestling events.  This additional coverage now makes it possible for elementary, middle school, high school and college wrestlers to take advantage of additional medical insurance coverage by merely purchasing a USA Wrestling card.  No longer is there the requirement that all wrestlers involved in an event have a card for anyone to be covered.  This extra insurance benefit is potentially a tremendous edge for wrestling athletes to take advantage of.  

To purchase a card, a wrestler can contact their local mat club or the OWA off ice at 541-266-0753 or o.wa@gte.net  

Wrestling continues growth on the high school level according National Federation statistics

Wrestling continues to grown on the high school level, according to statistics released for the 2000-2001 school year by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).

Wrestling grew in every category, with more boys competitors, girls competitors and teams than the previous season. It was the eighth straight year that the total number of wrestling competitors and teams has grown nationally, and the fifth straight year that the number of participants has grown. In addition, wrestling remains one of the most popular sports for boys, according to the survey.

Wrestling was ranked No. 6 in the number of boys participants with 244,984 total participants in the nation. Only football, basketball, outdoor track and field, baseball and soccer had more boys participants than wrestling.

The number of boys wrestlers on the high school level increased by 5,879 from the previous year, increase of 2.5 percent.

Wrestling was ranked No. 9 in the number of boys programs, with 9,404 wrestling teams in the United States. Wrestling was ranked behind basketball, outdoor track and field, baseball, football, golf, cross country, soccer and tennis in total number of programs.

The number of boys wrestling teams increased by 358 programs last year, an increase of 4.0 percent.

Girls wrestling continued its growth trend of recent years as well. According to the survey, the number of girls in high school wrestling grew to 3,032 participants, up from 2,474 during the 1999-2000 year. This increase of 558 girls participants represents an outstanding 23.0 percent increase.

In addition, the number of wrestling teams with girls participating showed an increase again. In 1999-2000, 734 high schools had girls involved in wrestling, but the 2000-2001 year, the total grew to 896 programs. This increase of 162 programs represented an increase of 22.0 percent.

In overall wrestling participants, both boys and girls, the grand total increased from 241,579 to 248,016 in 2000-2001. This increase of 6,437 athletes represents an increase of 2.7 percent.

Based on figures from the 51 state high school athletic/activity associations, participation in all high school athletics during 2000-2001 was 6,657,257, an increase of 100,345 athletes from the previous year. This sets the all-time record for high school sports participation, exceeding the previous high set last year. Total participation increased for both boys and girls during the year.

The NFHS has compiled the survey since 1971 based on figures from its 51 member state associations. With the exception of a slight decrease from 1987-88 to 1988-89, participation has risen each year since the 1983-84 year.

In the listing of total athletic participants by state, Texas remains No. 1 with 779,329, followed by California (633,572), New York (334,945), Illinois (302,354), Michigan (295,799), Ohio (294,848), Pennsylvania (226,419), New Jersey (218,982), Minnesota (217,270) and Florida (211,648).

The top 10 states for boys wrestling participation were California (24,326), Illinois (14,367), Ohio (13,468), Michigan (12,064), New York (11,980), New Jersey (8,853), Minnesota (8,547), Washington (8,517), Pennsylvania (8,338) and Indiana (8,194). All states, except Arkansas, reported boys wrestling participants.

A total of 31 states reported girls wrestlers to the NFHS. California had the highest total, with 752 girls wrestling on the high school level, followed by Texas with 485, Hawaii with 239, Washington with 256 and Michigan with 153.

NEW WRESTLING MOVIE TO DEBUT!!!!

"Reversal" is a new movie about high school wrestling.  You can preview it here at:  www.reversalthemovie.com 

Something to Chew on

With the start of every high school season, there is always renewed interest in nutrition. Whether the focus is on dropping to a lower weight or staying strong through a proper diet, wrestlers always have many questions on what they should eat.

Judy Nelson, Nutrition Coordinator for the United States Olympic Committee helps America’s elite athletes achieve success at the highest levels of competition. USA Wrestling’s coaching staff relies on her expertise on a regular basis. Her suggestions should be high priorities for wrestlers and coaches trying to establish proper nutrition in a daily diet.

Step one: Switch to skim

Switching to skim milk can make a dramatic difference in caloric and fat intake for any individual. In an eight ounce glass of reduced fat 2% milk there is 122 calories with 4.7 grams of fat. In low fat 1% milk, there is 102 calories and 2.5 grams of fat. A wrestler that switches to skim milk takes in 86 calories and .4 grams of fat per eight ounce glass.

Clearly there is a benefit in switching over to skim milk. An eight ounce glass is generally smaller than what most people consume in a sitting these days. So, the benefit can be even further magnified.

Step two: Lots of fruit

In speaking to Ms Nelson about the importance of fruit in a diet, she sees benefits varying from fruit to fruit. “Bananas are important because of the potassium they provide; oranges are very important because of the Vitamin C they provide. Melons are high in Vitamin A and blueberries are also great.” So, when adding fruit to a diet variety can be an important factor to consider.

Step three: Juice over pop

Pop provides nothing of value to for a wrestler’s body to run off of. There are no nutrients to digest. Further, youthful consumers have gotten hooked on oversized drinks. A wrestler should definitely consider the numbers before they grab a soda. Eight ounces of pop has about 140 calories. The “average” pop serving has increased in size, with many people drinking as much as 24 ounces of pop in one sitting. Using a caloric intake of 4200 calories a day, 24 ounces of pop would be 420 calories or nearly 20 percent of the energy intake for the day. Throw in the fact that it has no nutritional value, coaches and wrestlers should see that fruit juice is a much better beverage to reach for.

Step four: Baked Potatoes

Baked potatoes are an easily prepared food that should become a staple in a wrestler’s diet. Don’t forget to eat the skin though. According to Nelson, the baked potato has almost no fat and a minimal amount of sodium with a good supply of complex carbohydrates.

Of course a wrestler’s nutritional training can run afoul if the potato is loaded down with condiments like butter and sour cream. A wrestling secret in eating a potato is adding water to the potato. Wrestlers know that baked potatoes can be dry, so the best thing to do is re-hydrate it. After breaking it open and smashing it with a fork pour a little more water on it and it won’t taste as dry.

Step five: Maintain Variety.

Once again Judy Nelson’s nutritional point is very simple. “No one food has everything a wrestler needs.” Variety in food, even in a specific food group is important. Don’t rely on one food, to supply all of the vitamins and nutrients needed for day to day health. Remove the junk from the diet, but maintain variety.

Step six: Lots of water.

Staying properly hydrated is difficult for the average person. For an active athlete it can be very hard to stay hydrated without a conscious effort. Nelson offers that fluid needs can be estimated at 1 milliliter per calorie. So in a 3000 calorie a day diet an individual would need to three liters of fluid.

Generally speaking water is overlooked as an important part of good nutrition. One old standard is 64 ounces of water consumption a day. Although Nelson states that this is not very scientific, it is probably well above what most wrestlers are consuming daily. Clearly wrestlers work hard and perspire significantly so wrestlers should work to replace the lost fluid. Water replacement is a critical part of a nutritional plan for a wrestler.

Step seven: The secret of egg whites

Wrestlers need to understand where hunger pains come from. Foods that are high in sugar, for example, are broken down quickly after consumption. So, while a candy bar might taste good, its satisfaction is limited because it is broken down before other foods that contain higher amounts of protein.

If wrestlers want to maintain a fuller feeling for a longer duration they need to look to having a diet with good protein. Egg whites are a common source of quality protein. Additionally, egg whites contain no fat. Throw the yolk away, that’s a whole other topic.

Wrestlers can prepare egg whites easily by boiling up a dozen eggs and storing them in the refrigerator. Egg whites contain about 3.5 grams of protein each. Encourage wrestlers to make use of this source of protein.

Step eight: High fiber is highly important

Again variety is certainly important for wrestlers focusing on proper nutrition. Fiber is one part of a good daily diet. Judy Nelson encourages wrestlers to make a high fiber cereal part of their daily food consumption. Cereals like All Bran and breads can be good sources of fiber. In checking the nutrition panel on cereal or bread try to find a product that has at least three grams of fiber per serving. Don’t be deceived by the packaging or the name, make sure to check the nutritional outline.

Step Nine: Don’t rely on meat

Protein is a highly important element for good nutrition for athletes. But a person does not have to rely only on meat to get good sources of protein. There are many soy -based products and dairy products that can work just as well as red meat does for protein. Wrestlers should consider trying legumes such as black beans and pinto beans as protein sources. Again variety can help in nutrition and make it easier to maintain a positive outlook when a person watches what they eat.

Step Ten: Plan for after the weigh-in

Wrestlers after making weight need to focus on foods that will help recover and won’t adversely effect performance. Foods with fat are definitely slower digesting. Carbohydrates can be easier on a wrestler’s stomach. Foods like applesauce, crackers, and cereal can be easily digested and aid in recovery. After making weight don’t let a lapse in judgment effect your performance, plan ahead and shoot for smaller portions spread throughout the tournament day.

Reaching a high level of achievement requires mental focus on all aspects of a wrestler’s performance. Proper nutrition can be an area that can really help a wrestler attain their goals. Of course being a wrestler, in a junk food culture will hold anyone back. So, please take the ten simple suggestions to heart. Make use of the same nutritional training that athletes in the Olympics rely on.
