He coached Central Michigan to a 14th-place finish at the 2009 NCAA Championships after a seventh-place showing in 2008. Last year’s squad had a pair of All-Americans in Mike Miller (2nd, 174) and Scott Sentes (7th, 125). Both Miller and Sentes have returned in 2009-10, with each moving up one weight class. The Chippewas began this season ranked No. 13, but have ran off a 5-0 record with notable wins over No. 6 Maryland and No. 18 Virginia to reach sixth in this week’s InterMat Top 25. Central Michigan’s victories over the Terrapins and Cavaliers came at the Northeast Duals on Nov. 28. Nebraska also competed at the event, but did not meet the Chippewas. CMU has also defeated Tennessa-Chatanooga, American and Bloomsburg in dual action. Individually, Central Michigan has seven wrestlers ranked in the top 20 in the nation, led by the fifth-ranked 174-pound freshman, Ben Bennett. The Rockford, Mich., native redshirted the 2008-09 season and is off to a 4-1 start this year with his lone loss coming to No. 4 Chris Henrich of Virginia. Sentes is ranked No. 6 at 133 pounds with a 5-0 record. He was the first freshman to earn All-America honors in school history after his seventh-place finish at 125 pounds last year. Miller is also ranked in the top 10 as he is eighth at 184 pounds with a 4-0 record this season. In addition to this trio, Central Michigan has ranked wrestlers at 125 pounds (No. 14 Matt Steintrager, Sr.), 149 pounds (No. 13 Tony D’Alie, Sr.), 157 pounds (No. 13 Steve Brown, Sr.), 165 pounds (No. 20 Tyler Grayson, Sr.) and Heavyweight (No. 15 Jarod Trice, So.). Saturday’s dual looks to have ranked matchups at 157 pounds (No. 1 Burroughs vs. No. 13 Brown), 174 pounds (No. 3 Dwyer vs. No. 5 Bennett) and Heavyweight (No. 12 Lane vs. No. 15 Trice). Husker History vs. Central Michigan The Chippewas are another storied program that Nebraska has met few times, with the Huskers leading the all-time series 2-0-1. NU earned a 26-7 victory over CMU on Feb. 9, 1997, in Michigan and posted a 21-10 win against the Chippewas in the consolation final of the 2006 National Duals. In their last meeting, No. 4 Nebraska broke No. 6 Central Michigan’s 11-dual winning streak with a 17-17 tie at the Rose Arena in Mount Pleasant, Mich., on Jan. 25, 2009. The Huskers and Chippewas both won five bouts with each team winning two major decisions. Jordan Burroughs and Craig Brester claimed the Huskers’ bonus-point victories at 157 and 197, in addition to wins from Stephen Dwyer (165), Brandon Browne (174) and Tucker Lane (HWT). Scouting the Nebraska-Kearney Lopers The Nebraska-Kearney Lopers are one of the most successful Division II wrestling programs in the nation, recently claiming the 2008 national championship before finishing fourth in 2009. Head coach Marc Bauer is in his 11th year with the Lopers and holds a 121-54 record at UNK. His squad returns seven starters off last year’s team, including five national qualifiers. Three of those wrestlers are currently ranked 2009-10 Statistics Record Wt. Name Overall Dual 125 David Klingsheim 9-5 4-3 133 C.J.

Central Michigan vs. Nebraska-Kearney will now begin the day's action at 10 a.m., followed by Husker duals vs. Central Michigan and Nebraska-Kearney with 10-minute breaks between each match. The double-dual against the Chippewas and Lopers is the next competition for Nebraska. 2009-10 Redshirt Schedule Date Dec. 10 Dec. 12 Dec. 21 Jan. 2 Jan. 16 Jan. 23 Feb. 6 Tournament Fort Hays State Open (0 champions) Kearney Open (2 champions) Omaha Open (Omaha, Neb.)

Nebraska Wrestling Fans www.twitter.com/HuskerWrestling nationally in Division II, led by fourth-ranked performers Joey Morrison (133, 8-3) and Taylor May (165, 6-1). Senior Derek Ross is ranked No. 8 at 184 pounds with a 6-6 record after an All-American season at 197 pounds in 200809. May and Morrison are seniors as well and also earned All-America honors last season, in addition to senior Marty Usman at 174 pounds, who is undefeated this season (12-0). Saturday will be the first dual of the 2009-10 season for the Lopers after an 18-5 record a year ago. Husker History vs. Nebraska-Kearney Nebraska has never lost to Nebraska-Kearney, holding a 6-0 all-time advantage in the series. The Huskers most recently defeated the Lopers during the 2006-07 season, downing UNK 30-18 on Dec. 16, 2006. In that match, Nebraska pinned UNK three times, in addition to a technical fall by Craig Brester and a major decision from Stephen Dwyer. Last Time Out: Huskers Dominate South Dakota State in Brookings, 46-6 The Huskers raced to a 22-0 lead and won all six competed matches, as the 12th-ranked Nebraska wrestling team returned to the win column with a 46-6 victory over South Dakota State at the Swiftel Center on Saturday, Dec. 12. The Huskers moved to 5-2 on the season and have now won seven straight over the Jackrabbits. Nebraska did not allow a point until a forfeit at 157 pounds and was in control from the start after early bonuspoint victories from freshman C.J. Napier (133) and junior Mike Koehnlein (141). Napier had one of two pins for Nebraska on the day, as the Huskers tallied five bonus-point victories. Napier improved his record to 12-5 with his pin at 133 pounds over Tyler Johnson in 3 minutes, 40 seconds. Napier has won three of his last four matches, including two bonus-point victories. Koehnlein also earned his 12th win of the season with his 12-2 major decision over Dustin Walraven at 141 pounds. No. 3 Stephen Dwyer remained undefeated in dual action (7-0), as he produced Nebraska’s other fall at 174 pounds, pinning Joe Rasmussen in 2 minutes, 19 seconds. Dwyer has five pins this season, second on the team behind Craig Brester (6). Brester was part of the only match-up of ranked wrestlers, as he defeated No. 9 Tyler Sorenson by decision (8-2) at 197 pounds. Brester moved to 13-0 and now has four wins over ranked opponents this season. No. 9 Tucker Lane tallied his first technical fall win of the season with a 19-4 victory over Jeremy Swier at Heavyweight. Junior James Nakashima earned his first dual victory with an 11-3 major decision win over Weston Blasius at 165 pounds. The Dwight, Ill., native is a newcomer to the Husker lineup after starting three matches at last weekend’s Las Vegas Invitational and dropping a hard-fought 8-3 decision to No. 4 Dustin Schlatter of Minnesota on Thursday night. Nebraska won three matches by forfeit (125, 149, 184), as several South Dakota State wrestlers are fighting through a skin infection, while the Jackrabbits won the 157-pound bout with NU’s Jordan Burroughs absent due to personal family reasons.

Head Coach Mark Manning has taken NU to new heights in his tenure and has established himself as one of the top wrestling coaches in the nation. The NU record book is a testament to Manning's accomplishments in Lincoln. In his nine years at the helm, he has coached 31 of Nebraska's 86 All-Americans. He has led the Huskers to five top-eight finishes at the NCAA Championships, compared to just eight for the 14 NU coaches before him. Entering 2009-10, he is the winningest coach in Husker history with a dual-winning percentage of .734 and a record of 127-45-3 at NU. He was the 2008 and 2009 Big 12 Coach of the Year after guiding Nebraska to a share of the Big 12 title last season after a second-place finish the year before.. NU has finished fourth at the last two NCAA Championship meets, with nine Huskers gaining All-America honors. Records go onto paper and into books and get tucked away. More important to Manning is the fact that he has helped numerous young men grow into upstanding adults by teaching them the correct principles of life. Regarded as one of the nation's top recruiters, Manning does not always land the top recruit, but he usually finds the correct wrestler for his program. He has a keen eye for finding the athletes with the right work ethic and dedication that he can develop. His recruiting and coaching abilities have allowed him to find success in a short amount of time at both programs he has led. Manning's coaching philosophy focuses on developing wrestlers to reach their potential. A wrestler who brings a positive attitude and work ethic to the room can use goal setting and responsibility to develop into an upstanding citizen that is committed to excellence. Manning works daily with the team on every detail in and out of practice, while keeping in mind the best long-term interests of his student-athletes. Known for his fiery nature on the edge of the mat, Manning instills in his wrestlers a sense of determination and pride through his actions and demeanor.

Nebraska has achieved a 599-513-29 all-time record since the university implemented the sport in 1910-11. After enduring some tough times in the beginning of the century, the program picked up steam in the 1970s to establish the winning tradition Nebraska enjoys today. The Huskers have had just seven losing seasons over the past 38 years and won at least 10 duals 27 times. All-time, Nebraska has 86 All-Americans, dating back to its first selection in 1942, Newt Copple. The Huskers have also crowned 10 individual national champions and finished in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships 18 times. Brester Named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week Senior Craig Brester has been awarded for his outstanding performance as he was named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week on Monday by the league office for matches Dec. 7-Dec. 13. Brester is 13-0 this season and used a pair of impressive victories last week to solidify the second Big 12 weekly award of his career. The Howells, Neb., native pinned Minnesota’s Joe Nord (1:10) last Thursday night in Minneapolis before defeating his fourth ranked opponent in the past two weeks with an 8-2 decision over No. 9 Tyler Sorenson of South Dakota State on Saturday. Brester leads the Huskers in victories (13) and pins (6), winning six of his last nine matches by fall, including four pins in under 2 minutes.

Former Husker Gardner to be Inducted into National Wrestling Hall of Fame Responsible for one of the greatest Olympic upsets of all-time, former Husker wrestler Rulon Gardner has been chosen as one of four 2010 inductees into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum. Gardner's shining moment came in the 2000 Olympics, when he shocked the sports world with a 1-0 overtime victory over Russia's Alexander Karelin in the Greco-Roman super heavyweight gold medal match. Karelin was a three-time Olympic gold medalist and had not lost an international match in 13 years, including the last six without giving up a point. Gardner's upset helped the former Husker earn numerous prestigious honors, including the 2001 Jesse Owens Award, a 2001 ESPY (U.S. Male Olympic Athlete of the Year) and the 2001 United States Olympic Committee's Sportsman of the Year honor. At Nebraska, Gardner was a 1993 All-American after he finished fourth in the heavyweight division at the NCAA Championships, helping the Huskers to a third-place team finish. A native of Afton, Wyo., Gardner lettered two seasons for the Big Red after he transferred to Nebraska from Ricks Junior College in Rexburg, Idaho, where he was an NJCAA national champion (1991) and two-time All-American (1990-91). Along with his 2000 Olympic gold medal, Gardner was a four-time U.S. Nationals Greco-Roman champion (1995, 1997, 2000 and 2001), earned bronze at the 2004 Olympics in Athens and won international titles at the 1996 World Cup, the 1998 and 2000 Pan American Games and the 2001 World Championships. He most recently contributed as a television analyst for NBA during the 2008 Olympics. "I want to thank our Board of Governors and the various screening and selection committees involved in the six-month process that determines our honorees for induction. This is another exceptional class of inductees whose merits transcend our sports impact upon society," said Lee Roy Smith, Executive Director of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame & Museum. David Auble, Russell Camilleri and Lincoln McIlravy join Gardner in the 2010 class, which will be inducted during the Honors Weekend Banquet and Induction Ceremony in Stillwater, Oklahoma, June 4-5, 2010. The Hall of Fame's Board of Governors approved this year's selections at its semi-annual meeting in Kansas City last week.
