WIN TOURNAMENT POWER INDEX (TPI)

The Tournament Power Index (T.P.I.) is compiled by awarding potential NCAA tournament points to each team for the ranked wrestlers they have in WIN’s current individual rankings. Teams are awarded points based on how many potential All-Americans they could have and get advancement points for wrestlers ranked No. 9-20. The order of teams in the T.P.I. can vary greatly from our dual meet rankings, as some teams have a number of highly-ranked individuals but may have holes in their dual meet line-up.

Point totals associated with individual rankings are as followed: 1st – 20 (16 AA points + 4 advancement points); 2nd – 16 (12+4); 3rd – 13.5 (10+3.5); 4th – 12. 5 (9+3.5); 5th – 10 (7+3); 6th – 9 (6+3); 7th – 6.5 (4+2.5); 8th – 5.5 (3+2.5); 9th/12th – 2; 13th/16th – 1.5; 17th-20th – 1

Fans or coaches who have questions or input on our current rankings process can e-mail W.I.N. editor Mike Finn at MikeF@WIN-magazine.com. If you wish to be included on weekly ranking release list, e-mail W.I.N. at Info@WIN-magazine.com.

So I’ve been thinking about Wrestling Camps

Posted on November 26, 2008 by Jon

Man, it seems like today is Friday. Probably because tomorrow I won’t be coming into work. SWEET!! I don’t think it’s coming fast enough though. Wish I could get home so I can do nothing. Would be nice!

So anyways, I’ve been thinking about wrestling camps. They help out wrestlers of all levels progress and they are all over the nation. You can choose from a huge number of instructors from High School state and national champs to NCAA national champs to Olympians such as Rulon Gardner, Cael Sanderson and Ken Chertow. So we haven’t been able to set anything up yet, but we are looking into it. So stay tuned for more on wrestling camps!

Wrestling Picture of the Month… Why we pay money to see people wrestle

Posted on November 26, 2008 by Jon

Photo courtesy of AmateurWrestlingPhotos.com

So I think this picture captures why people pay to go see wrestling matches. Each athlete is only standing on one leg, partially supporting the other. People may say this is gross, but seriously, how many other types of athletes can do this type of stuff? When I wrestled back in High School, that’s the only sport I did. I did have a friend though, who did wrestling and football. I remember him saying one time that he liked wrestling more because of the endurance and intelligence it required, where football was going 110% for 10 seconds with a break. So this is why we pay money to see people wrestle. Home you enjoy this months wrestling picture!!

Last Place UVU takes on #2 Iowa State Cyclones

Posted on November 21, 2008 by Jon

The local wrestling team from Utah Valley University went ot Iowa last week to wrestle their #2 ranked Cyclones on their home mat. Though it takes guts to do that, they where still destroyed as a team losing 39-0. That’s the team score though. That doesn’t reveal how close it came in some matches. Both UVU and Iowa State have nationaly ranked wrestlers and some of them grappeled last night and it came pretty close. UVU star Ben Kjar, ranked 18th in the nation, went up against number 7, Tyler Clark. It came down to the wire, but Kjar couldn’t hold on and lost the match 4-2.

Other matches were just as close, but of course there were some crushing blows as well. Two time NCAA returning finalist Jake Varner pinned Adam Fagner in 2:34. Nick Fanthorpe, who finished 7th last year at the NCAA tournament, got his first technical fall of the season at 6:24 against Flint Ray.

“Overall, I thought we looked real solid,” Sanderson said. “Utah Valley is making real strides in their program. Chris Pursell wrestled an aggressive match and dictated the tempo of the match.”

To their credit though, UVU showed up and gave the Cyclones a run. I wish I could have seen the match! UVU will have a long way to go, but I’m sure that this has given them a push in the right direction.

“Overall I was pleased with how technically sound we looked tonight,” Utah Valley head wrestling coach Greg Williams said. “What hurt us though was not being able to finish our matches. We will go back, get the tape out, and learn from our mistakes to help prepare us for Saturday.”

“Cody and Cael Sanderson are both tremendous coaches and we were very pleased and grateful for this opportunity to face so many highly-ranked individuals,” Williams added. “Tonight’s matches against such good competition will definitely help lead us down the path to prepare ourselves to meet our goals and reach nationals next year.”

The Wolverines stayed in Iowa for the weekend for the Harold Nichols Open, where six wrestlers placed in the 32 team tournament.

Six Wrestlers from UVU Place at Harold Nichols Open

Posted on November 19, 2008 by Jon

Sophomore Ben Kjar placed 3rd (125-pounds) at the Harold Nichols Open

Sophomore Ben Kjar leads UVU placing third overall in the 125-pound tournament.

Nov. 15, 2008

AMES, Iowa - Six out of nine Utah Valley University wrestlers who competed at the Harold Nichols Cyclones Open Saturday finished placing in the 32-team tournament.

“I am excited about the team this year,” UVU head wrestling coach Greg Williams said. “They are wrestling with confidence and are really working hard to develop in the areas they need to improve. Even in the matches that our younger guys are losing, they are working hard through the whole match and not letting up. I am proud of them.”

UVU battled it out at the Harold Nichols Open against some of the best wrestlers in the nation. Top notched talent that was at the open included wrestlers from No. 1 Iowa, No. 2 Iowa State, No. 6 Nebraska, No. 12 Wisconsin, No. 22 Northern Iowa, and fellow Western Wrestling Conference opponent South Dakota State just to name a few.

Utah Valley sophomore Benjamin Kjar led the way again as he finished placing third in the 125-pound tournament. Kjar, who earned the two-seed on the day wrestled some very good competition and came through earning his 19th national rank. He fell in the semis to Andrew Long of Iowa State losing by only one-point (3-2) but rebounded winning two more matches to place third.

Three other Wolverine wrestlers placed fourth in their respective weight-class tournaments. Junior Jeffrey Newby came out of the 141-pound tourney, sophomore Justin Morrill at 149, and sophomore Jeb Clark 165.

Also placing for UVU at the open was sophomore Flint Ray who finished fifth in the 133-pound tournament and redshirt freshman Brad Darrington placed sixth at 174 pounds.

The other trio of Utah Valley wrestlers at the open included redshirt freshman Wade Eldredge (157), sophomore Casen Eldredge (184), and freshman Adam Fager (197) who all went 3-2 individually on the day. Wade and Casen both missed placement by only one match.

Utah Valley (0-1) in duals will be back in dual action next week at No. 14 Boise State on Nov. 19 and at Portland State the very next night Nov. 20. To round out the week the Wolverines will take part in the Best of the West Open in Central Point, Ore., Nov. 22.

Need Some Motivation to Lose Weight?

Posted on November 13, 2008 by Jon

Weight loss is always one of those topics that comes to the top of stereotypes with wrestlers. Because of that, before I start this article, we encourage you to loose weight as safely as possible. Know your limits; don’t max out your body and don’t do anything stupid. If you’re six foot tall, don’t try to reach for the 125 lb weight class – it’s not going to happen; if it does, you’ll probably be so week that they’ll kick your trash. Our advise here at WrestleFattie is BE SMART. Having said that, sometimes you do need to cut weight as a wrestler, and many times you need motivation to loose weight. Thankfully, I hardly had to struggle with it myself. I was limited to spitting in a bottle a couple hours before matches started to loose no more than a pound.

So anyways, into the meat of the article…

As I was thinking of what I could do this weeks post on, I realized that we get a lot of emails about motivation to lose weight. As I was thinking about a good way to blog about this, I had what I considered to be a brilliant idea. Top 5 things that will give you motivation to lose weight. Let’s take a look at these, starting with number 5…

#5 Motivation to Lose Weight

Big Buddha Belly

This guy is big and might be able to sit on you, but he’s not going to be able to catch you. His belly alone should be enough motivation to lose weight. You could literally run laps around the mat and tire him out then lay on him while he’s resting and he wouldn’t be able to do anything. Don’t get a gut like this guy; it’ll ruin your match and your heart.

#4 Motivation to Lose Weight

Sumo

Yeah, you want to be big so you can dominate the match. Heavyweights want to be big so that they can throw the other guy around. And this is a good thing. Get too big, though, and you’ll have to quit your high school or college team and wrestle this guy. Yet another thing to give you motivation to lose weight.

#3 Motivation to Lose Weight

That ain't Muscle

Wrestling is a hard sport. Anyone who has done it will have to agree. Anyone who has watched a match can do nothing except agree. So if it’s a tough sport, how can you expect to look like this and do well, let alone excel? If you want to do well, even if you are a heavyweight, your body has to be able to do it. If your muscles are covered with a flab of fat, it’s only hurting you. Remember that your body not only needs to carry your own weight, but it also needs to be able to carry your opponents weight.

#2 Motivation to Lose Weight

Know this kid? Probbly not...

Meet Dzhambulat Khotokhov. He’s four years old and stands at 3 feet 11 inches. Weight? 123 pounds!! That’s how much I weighed in at as a Freshman in High School!! While this kid is easily able to dominate in his brackets (with obvious reason) as he gets older, as he gets older, he’ll get bigger and slower. Meaning he’ll be able to lift a lot more and much easier, but he won’t be able to move fast enough to grab it unless it’s under his feet.

And the #1 motivation to lose weight?

Health. Now be careful with this one: losing weight, cutting weight and having an un-healthy low weight are all different things. Like we said at the beginning, know your limits and don’t max out your body. You want to be the lightest you can while at the same time being the strongest you can. If you get too low, you start cutting into your maximum strength. For some, the danger point starts there, for some it might begin before that point and for some it is well after. Find the weight class where you are able to balance your weight and your strength on the balance scale, letting you dominate in both. Above all, stay safe and be healthy!!
