Coach Greg Williams, who is in his seventh season at the
head of the Utah Valley University wrestling program,
recorded his 50th career victory on Jan. 26 over WWC
foe Northern Colorado. Williams currently holds a career
record of 53-47 in seven season at UVU and he is also 1520 all-time in Western Wrestling Conference action.
W ilson Pl a c es 8th a t Mi dl a n ds
Senior 149-pounder Josh Wilson led UVU at the prestigious Midlands Championship hosted by Northwestern
University on Dec. 29-30 by placing eighth. The placement
for Wilson at the top-notch tournament was his second in as
many years after he finished sixth at the same tournament
a year ago. After going 4-1 on day one of the tourney,
Wilson finished with a 5-3 record at Midlands that included a win over 16th-ranked David Habat of Edinboro.
J ade Rau s er Pl a c es a t C K LV I n v i te Redshirt freshman Jade Rauser (125 pounds) led UVU
at the 31st annual Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational by
placing eighth at the stacked tournament. Rauser probably would have finished higher but became very ill
and after securing a placement finish was pulled from
competition and suffered a forfeit in his last two matches, which resulted in the eighth-place finish. During his
tournament run, he defeated the three-seed and 13thranked Sean Boyle from Michigan to advance to the
quarterfinals.
Two S ets o f Tw i n s It’s rare enough to have one set of twins on a collegiate roster but the UVU wrestling team has two. Both Jade and Val
Rauser and Chase and Kyle Cuthbertson are twin brothers.
All four the of UVU grapplers are redshirt freshmen as
well after they all redshirted last season. Jade and Val are
from Townsend, Mont. (Broadwater HS) while Chase and
Kyle are from Scottsboro, Ala. (Scottsboro HS).

20 1 2 - 1 3 U V U S e as on Previ ew
The 2012-13 Utah Valley University wrestling team will begin its season Thursday at 7 p.m. in the PE Building with the annual UVU Intrasquad Dual. The contest will be free of charge and will be a good
opportunity for fans to get an early look at the young and talented
Wolverine squad.
“This season will be kind of an unknown for us as we are very young,”
said seventh year head coach Greg Williams. “Most of our freshmen
are redshirt freshmen however and have a year of experience under
their belt but they haven’t really faced tough competition yet. The
question is: how well will the first year starters do in Las Vegas (Cliff
Keen Las Vegas Invitational) or at Midlands (Championships).”
Besides having 11 freshmen on the roster this season, UVU also mixes
in 10 sophomores, four juniors and two seniors. One of the two seniors
is returning NCAA Qualifier Josh Wilson (149 pounds). Wilson, who is
ranked 18th in the preseason InterMat poll, wrestled at his first NCAA
Championships last season in St. Louis, Mo., and will look to help lead
his young teammates
this year.
In all UVU has 27 grapplers on its roster, which includes 12 returning
letterwinners and eight returning starters from last years team that
went 6-10 overall and 1-5 in Western Wrestling Conference duals.
“We’ve never had this much talent in the room before,” Williams said.
“The program is progressing and we’re very pleased with the direction
that it is going.”
After the intrasquad scrimmage on Thursday, the Wolverines will hit the
road and travel to Laramie, Wyo., to take part in the Cowboy Open
at the University of Wyoming on Saturday. ¬The Wolverines will then
travel to North Carolina the following week, Nov. 10-11, to take on
Campbell and Bloomsburg and participate at NC State’s Wolfpack
