Why the NLWC Urges Full Restoration of Wrestling
to its Historic Place as an Olympic Sport.
Since the International Olympic
Committee announced its plan to
drop Wrestling from the OIympic
Games after 2020, local, state and
international Wrestling organizations
as well as wrestlers, coaches, officials
worldwide have been campaigning
to reverse that decision. Many of
our NLWC members, including our
Coaches and Resident Athletes in our
USA Wrestling-Approved Regional
Olympic Training Center are major
contributors to those national and
international campaigns to keep
wrestling in the Olympics. We are
grateful for, and enthusiastically
support, their efforts. But our Club
also wants to put on record its own
statement about how damaging the
IOC’s proposal would be not only to
us but to all the current and future
young wrestlers we serve as well as to
the current and future elite “Resident
Athletes” in our USA-Wrestlingapproved Regional Olympic Training
Center.
The Olympic ideal aims at uniting
the world in peaceful and inspiring
competition that celebrates the
highest aspirations — and all the
mental, moral and physical disciplines
— it takes to be among the best
athletes in the world. The games held
at Olympia in the 8th-century BC
brought at least momentary respite
from war between Greek city states.
Those games continued for 1,200
years until ended in 393 AD by newly
converted Christian Eastern Roman
Emperor Theodosius because the
Olympiad had pagan roots. When the
Olympics were re-invented and made
more broadly international in 1896,
wrestling remained among its major
attractions. For nearly 3,000 years, it
has been known as “the oldest and
greatest sport.”
After 1896, Olympiads have been
boycotted or suspended by war.
But we have also seen compelling
evidence of their power to help
unite the world through friendships
growing out of peaceful competition.
At the closing ceremonies of the 1984
Olympics in LA, the athletes from
sometimes hostile nations broke away
from their formal isolated team ranks
in the final “Parade of Athletes” and
started dancing with each other. There
wasn’t a dry eye in the house during
this spontaneous demonstration of a
yearning for a greater peace. When, in
recent weeks, wrestlers from the US,
Russia and Iran joined in competition
as part of their shared protest against
the IOC proposal to abandon
wrestling, we witnessed a welcome
moment of togetherness in a deeply
divided world. We do not want
our sport to lose its most visible
connection worldwide to the
healing ideals which inspired
such shows of unity.
The Olympics have also become the
greatest showcase for sports in the
world. Just check out the measurable
world-wide TV audiences since the
1950s. The NLWC’s Regional Olympic
Training Center reflects a movement
created by USA Wrestling to attract
young athletes to our sport, and give
them opportunities to meet and train
with the our nation’s best talents, and
1
to travel to both early developmental
competitions as well as USA World
and Olympic Team qualifying events.
And we are pleased that Wrestling is
one of those sports in which weight
classes do not tend to narrow toplevel competition to the supersized. Removing Wrestling from the
Olympics would have a chilling effect
on the appeal of the sport to hundreds
of thousands of these young athletes
around the world. We do not want
“the oldest and greatest sport” in
the Olympics to be cut off from
the world’s greatest celebration
of
international
diplomacy
through sport.

Coaches Cunningham and Sanderson help Varner prepare for his Olympic matches
For more than 30 years, the NLWC
has been providing training and
competitive opportunities at all levels
– from elementary school children to
the post-collegiate elite on USA World
and Olympic Team “ladders.” All the
young athletes who have participated
in our School programs since the 1980s
have had opportunities to meet, be
inspired by, coached by – and even get
on the mats with: Japanese Olympians
like World and Olympic champions
Yugi Takada (who won five titles) and
Mitsuro Sato; with Iowa Olympian
Lou Banach, with Silver Medalist and
former Lion Coach, Sammie Henson
(an NCAA Champ from Clemson),
with Penn State Olympian, Kerry
McCoy, more recently, with Olympic
Gold medalist Cael Sanderson; and,
most recently, with current Resident
Athletes Jake Varner and Jamie Espinal
who won Gold (for USA) and Silver (for
Puerto Rico) in the London Olympics
last summer; and Franklin Gomez who
won Silver the year before for Puerto
Rico in the World Championships.
Many state high-school standouts who
have benefitted from NLWC School
Programs have moved on to become
NCAA medalists in colleges and
universities across the nation – and
in all divisions -- including schools
like Penn State, Cornell, Oklahoma,
Edinboro, Iowa, Oklahoma State, and
Pittsburgh. Other recent successes by
our Resident Athletes include medal
placements in World and Olympic
Team qualifying tournaments (i.e. the
2
US Open and final Olympic Trials), as
well as in the Pan American Games.
We are now one of 27 USA-Wrestlingapproved Regional Olympic Training
Centers from coast-to-coast. We are far
from being the only organization in the
US and around the world promoting
and helping both youngsters and
elite veterans to pursue Olympic
dreams. We can only guess at the total
numbers. But we do know that our
NLWC School -- for over a quarter
century – has helped thousands to
develop in our sport. They have been
taught to have fun, to eat and train
healthily, to learn skills from the elite,
to sharpen their skills in pursuit of
district, regional, state, and national
championships.
Last year, over 450 scholastic wrestlers participated in at least
one of our NLWC School Programs. They came from a substantial
number of schools, mostly from the following school districts:
Altoona

We hope neither our School members nor any young wrestlers anywhere in the world will ever be
denied access to an Olympic dream and all the dedication to mental, moral, physical and technical
development such dreams inspire.

Olympians Met with 1,100 Scholastic Entries
Last March in the 2013 NLWC-Sponsored State
College Wrestling Tournament.
Young wrestlers from all over
Pennsylvania — and a few beyond
— who were competing in the
tournament had opportunities to
meet 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist
Jake Varner, Silver Medalist Jamie
Espinal, and Olympic teammate
Franklin Gomez and have their
pictures taken with them. There was
also a table set up to allow wrestlers,
parents and fans to write letters
expressing their hopes for a future
that can continue to include Olympic
dreams. They all felt strongly about
the value of a future that keeps
Wrestling an Olympic sport.
Have you already added
your voice to the world
wide chorus supporting the
preservation of such wrestler
dreams? If you haven’t but
would like to, it’s not too
late!
The final vote by the IOC Executive
Board on which one of three sports
will get the nod for continuation will
come on September 8. The sports
initially being considered included
wrestling, squash, karate, men’s
baseball and women’s softball,
roller
sports,
sport-climbing,
wakeboarding, and the martial
art Wushu. In the past couple of
weeks the IOC has narrowed its
choice to Wrestling, Squash, and
Men’s Baseball/ Women’s Softball.
The IOC has already invited
supporting comments for those
on the final list of possibilities.
But we can still gather names [at
nlwc@nittanylionwrestlingclub.
com] and forward them to the
September “deciders.”
US National Team Training Camp Hosted by NLWC,
December 2012
National Freestyle Team Head Coach
Zeke Jones and Bill Zadick, National
Freestyle Development Coach ran a
week-long clinic in State College. They
were assisted by our Regional Training
Center Coaches Cael Sanderson,
Casey Cunningham, and Cody
Sanderson. The camp attendees
included our own Resident Athletes,
along with the following World Class
and current leading contenders for
place on Olympic and World Teams
(many of whom are probably well
known to you): Obe Blanc, Andrew
Hochstrasser, Boris Navachkov,
Devin Carter, Colt Sponseller,
Nate Carr Jr., Trent Paulson,
John Reader, Austin Troutman,
Wynn Michalak, Dave Zabriskie,
and Ryan Tomei.
National Team Coach Jones offered
to bring one of his Training Camps
to State College because he thought
it would be “a great opportunity to be
around the top program in the country
. . . . I look at Penn State wrestlers as
our future.” But its also true that he
is taking his Camps to many college
towns. USA Wrestling has approved
27 regional sites, 21 of which are in
college towns and sometimes share
college or university facilities. The
NLWC is simply proud to be one of
these regional centers promoting
American success in international
competitions. Coach Jones spreading
his Camps around the country greatly
broadens his opportunities to bringing
the elite in contact with Olympic
hopefuls at all levels. Penn State’s
Quentin Wright — himself an
Olympic hopeful — said; “It’s
great to have people like that
around that really inspire you
and help you look to the future.”
Other Recent Successes of NLWC Competitors
on National and World Stages
Our recent Olympians aren’t the only
competitors representing the NLWC
in major competitions. We can’t give
full coverage to all competitions. But
recent highlights for our other Resident
athletes most notably include:
At 121, Mark McKnight, a Penn
State AA who has become our
most popular NLWC youth coach
working with our youngest School
members, competed in the Dave
Schultz International Tournament
in February. He placed 2nd to Japan’s
Mamora Honda. On his way to the
final, beat last year’s winner, India’s
Kumar. Kumar who is now ranked #1
in the world by FILA. McKnight won
Gold at the Pan Am Games in April.
He was one of three American champs
leading the way to the USA’s PanAm
Team title. Also in April, McKnight,
placed 4th in the US Open National
in Las Vegas. He had a couple of
wins on the way to the semi-finals
before falling to eventual Champ Obe

Nico Megaludis,121, finished 5th
with a 4-2 record. After losing to
Champion Obe Blanc, Megaludis
rallied back, including wins over Zach
Sanders and Ben Kjar to take 5th.
Blanc. He dropped a close match for
3rd to Brandon Precin, after beating
Precin in the preliminary rounds.
At 211, Les Sigman, former USA
World Teamer at heavyweight, has
dropped to 211 and got back into
competition at the US Open. He
defeated several top competitors
including former National Champ,
Dave Zabriskie.
Collegians also wrestled under
the NLWC banner in Vegas and did
remarkably well given their limited
freestyle experience against veteran
post-grad freestyle elite.
David Taylor finished 3-1 with
wins over Ryan Morningstar and
Nick Marable before dropping a hardfought final to Olympic Champion
Jordan Burroughs, 1-3 and 0-1.
Non-placers included:
Dylan Alton finished the weekend
4-3 at 145. He lost a close 1st-round
match to eventual Jordan Oliver, and
to veteran Phillip Simpson. He had
convincing wins over Kyle Ruschell
and Joshua Kindig.
Les Sigman
Ed Ruth, 185, placed 4th with a
3-2 record. He had wins over Austin
Trotman, and Enock Francois, who
upset #2 seed, Max Askren in the first
round. He lost to 2nd place Clayton
Foster, and to Jon Reader in the 3rdplace match.
James Vollrath was 1-2 at 163 in the
final tournament.
Morgan McIntosh competed at 211
and finished 3-2 on the weekend. He
had wins over Jacob Marrs and Tucker
Lane. He lost to Dustin Kilgore in the
first round, and then to Dave Zabriskie
in the consolation rounds

Special Fund-Raising Message from NLWC Executive Director Rich Lorenzo
First, I want to thank you all for your contributions to the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club. Each of you play a significant role in making
the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club such a proud and successful program. I cannot thank you enough!
As many of you are aware, I am the Executive Director of the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club (NLWC). During the past year, I was
approached by several supporters of the NLWC who wanted to take a more active role in supporting the NLWC’s Regional Training
Center and its development of senior level wrestlers who aspire to be World and Olympic Champions. These supporters were very
impressed by the NLWC wrestlers’ success at the National Level and also at the most recent World and Olympic Championships
where Jake Varner won a Gold Medal and Jaime Espinal a Silver Medal.
While recognizing this success, these supporters also wanted to make sure that these same opportunities would continue to be
available for current outstanding collegiate wrestlers who have World and Olympic Goals and wish to continue competing after
they graduate from college. To enable this, it is very important that the Resident Athlete Program be adequately funded for this next
Olympic Cycle (2013-2016). The goal of the NLWC and these supporters is to keep State College, PA, as the location where the U.S.’s
best young talent goes to train and compete!
As a result of these inquiries and to supplement our yearly membership donations and golf/wrestling tournament fund-rasisers,
NLWC Coach Cael Sanderson, NLWC Co-Director Dave Hart, and I have initiated a special fund-raising drive for those individuals,
families, or businesses who wish to make a commitment to help the NLWC raise money for its Resident Athlete Program through
the 2016 Olympic Games. We have named this fund-raising drive the “2016 Olympic Gold Fund-Raising Campaign”. This initiative
has already received tremendous support, and we have had numerous individuals and businesses make commitments through 2016.
Since the campaign is off to a great start, and we’ve heard that there may be others who would be interested in joining, I wanted to
inform our membership of this opportunity. If you have any questions or are interested in being a part of this campaign, please call
or e-mail us anytime. You may call me at (814) 574-1441 or Dave at 814-574-7799 or e-mail at davehart3@verizon.net.
As it has always been for the NLWC, this is a family affair that takes a group effort to succeed. We greatly appreciate your help in
making this fund-raising campaign a success.
Sincerely,
Rich Lorenzo, NLWC Executive Director
