2012 Wisconsin Awards Banquet March 30

  • Badger Newsletter April 10, 2012
    Hello Badger Family!
    I apologize for not getting out a newsletter the last few weeks. I have been focused on getting myself and the others ready for the Olympic trials coming up in less than 2 weeks! It should be a great weekend for our Badger Family… Competing we have
    Ryan McQuade- Greco
    Jesse Thielke- Greco
    Tyler Graff- Freestyle
    Ryan Morningstar- Freestyle
    Andrew Howe- Freestyle
    Travis Rutt- Greco
    Trevor Brandvold- Freestyle

    For info on who is wrestling on which day you can go to themat.com and click on the Olympic Trials link.

    This upcoming weekend, the current Badger wrestlers who are younger than 21, will be wrestling in the FILA Junior World Team Trials. The tournament takes place right here in Madison. All of our guys will be wrestling Freestyle and competing on Saturday. By wrestling in this our guys will be getting vital experience and mat time.

    Last weekend we had our annual end of the year banquet. We celebrated Senior Ben Jordan’s career and great end to the season. It was great to have so many parents and fans there to support the athletes. Our team doctor and former UW Wrestler Dave Goodspeed was asked to Emcee the event. Dave did a great job… at times I thought we were at a comedy club instead of a wrestling banquet!

    As you can see we have a lot going on this spring. With seven athletes wrestling in the Olympic trials and twelve guys gearing up for the Junior Worlds it has been a busy spring thus far. All of the entry fees and travel wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for the Badger Wrestling Club. Our Club is paying for all the UW guys to wrestling in the FILA worlds and has helped all of us in our training. We are really excited about the upcoming competitions as well as the fundraisers we have this summer. Please mark these dates on your calendar and be sure not to miss the great times as well as a chance to support the BWC!

    Good Afternoon Fellow Badgers!
    I hope you are enjoying the spring-like weather and are having a great day! The seeds are out, the brackets are set, and the time is near…

    Badgers Ben Jordan and Cole Tobin are preparing for the upcoming NCAA Championships. Ben will be wrestling Shane Onufer (2nd seed) 1st round and Cole Tobin will be wrestling Jeremy Johnson (7th seed). We all feel really good about both draws. Ben Jordan has wrestled the toughest schedule in his weight class and knows he can beat the top guys if he wrestles his style… That means moving his feet, getting off his attacks, and riding tough! The good thing about wrestling the 2nd seed first round is that if you beat him, you take his seed going forward. It will be a huge match! Tobin wrestled a very good big ten tournament knocking off a top 10 guy in Ben Apland from Michigan. He will have to wrestle that way on Thursday to move forward. He is peaking at the right time and has made huge gains throughout the season!

    The rest of the team is also in full out training mode. Coach Davis has emphasized that the young guys need to treat this week as if they were getting ready to wrestle at the Championships also. The guys have been lifting, running, and scrapping hard all week. For example… This morning we ran at the Kohl Center. Coach went over the 1st day routine of the NCAA tournament… we talked about the importance of being ready for the 1st match, taking it one match at a time, etc. We need to continue to bring everyone along and continue to build! The results from the Big Ten tournament are unacceptable but we must view these results in context… realizing that we need to continue to build on the positives and keep moving forward.

    We move out of our wrestling room next Tuesday for the demolition crew. We are very excited to be getting more space, better equipment, and a face lift on the room. Construction is scheduled to begin next week and should be done by the end of May. Be sure to plan a visit sometime in June to check out the new room and say hi!

    Just a quick reminder about our 1st fundraiser of the year… Our Bucky Shoot will be taking place June 23rd at Millford Hills hunt club. If you would like to receive more info on this event please email me at trevorbrandvold@yahoo.com. We want shooters, sponsors, and fans to come out and have a great time!

    Hope to see some of you in St. Louis next week. It has been a tough year for the Badger family but we still have two athletes pursuing their goals and a whole team of great young men who are going to continue to grow and improve! We thank you so much for your support!

    Onward and Upward,
    Trevor Brandvold

    Good Afternoon Fellow Badgers!

    I hope all of you are having a great week!  We are having a tough week of training here in Madison and are excited to be only a week from the Big Ten Championships.  It is also exciting to have the State High School tournament kicking off this afternoon.  It is always fun to see the State’s best compete in one of the best State tournaments in the country. 

    We have used the last week as a building period in order to get in the best position possible to make a run in March.  The guys have been working extremely hard and I believe many of them have improved in the last month. 

    The NCAA Qualifier Allocations came out today.  As expected, we currently have one wrestler qualified for the NCAA Championships (Ben Jordan 5th @ 165).  This means that our guys are going to have to pull off some “upsets” at the Big Ten tournament to make it to the NCAA tournament.  At a lot of weights this means winning one or two big matches next weekend.  This season has definitely been a tough one but dwelling on that doesn’t provide anything useful for anyone.  Next weekend our team has the opportunity to go out and win some matches people don’t think we should win.  They have the opportunity to leave it all on the mat and give themselves a chance at making the NCAA tournament.  I am excited to see who on the team is going to seize that opportunity!

    Congratulations to both Badgers Tyler Graff and Andrew Howe as they both had success overseas in the last couple of weeks.  Ty finished 2nd in a tough tournament in Russia.  Tyler was 4-1 and lost a very controversial match in the finals.  Andrew placed 2nd at the Champions tournament in the Ukraine.  Andrew defeated a 2008 Silver Medalist on his way to a 2nd place finish.   

    Reminder about our open practices coming up tomorrow and Saturday.  We will be practicing in the field house from 4:30-6:30 on Friday and from 3-5 on Saturday.  Please come, it will be a great opportunity to watch the guys scrap, learn some new technique, and us coaches would love to talk and answer any questions. 

    Best of luck to those wrestling, coaching, or cheering this weekend!  It should be a fun time to be in Madison! Safe travels.  

    Onward and Upward,

    Trevor Brandvold

  • Good Morning fellow Badgers! (Thursday, February 16, 2012)

    Wow… It is already that time! The time of year that gives me and so many other people who love the sport of wrestling goose bumps!  The college regular season schedule is winding down and we are only two weeks away from the BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS!  The State tournament series is also in full swing here in our State as well as throughout the country.  It is a great time of the year! 

    We had a great cardio workout this morning.  We brought our guys over to the Kohl Center to what we call “Big Mommas.”  This is where the guys start in the basement and have to sprint up the stairs to the 1st level, run around the arena, up the stairs to the 2nd level, and sprint around that level!  That counts as one!  I’m not sure why they are called “Big Mommas” but they sure are a great workout!  We will be on the mat today at 3:45.  We are going to use the next few days as a building period to get ready for March.  Barry is stressing the fact that going into the Big Ten tournament everyone’s record is 0-0.  We know Ben Jordan will probably be our only seeded wrestler but records and seeds go out the window when you step onto the mat.  As cliché as it sounds that is why they wrestle the matches! And we will be ready!

    Two guys I want to recognize are Cole Tobin and Jackson Hein.  These two guys have improved so much throughout the year.  They are both peaking at the right time.  At the National Duals Jackson went 2-0 and has a three match win streak.  He believes in himself and is in great condition.  He has had a lot of close matches throughout the year which will be good experience to have going into the Championships.  Cole beat UNI’s heavyweight 5-1 on Sunday.  This same guy defeated Cole back in January 2-5.  He has come a long way and is looking to knock off some guys in March.

    • A couple of quick reminders… We are having open to the public practices in the field house next week… they will be held on Friday, February 24 from 4:30-6:30 and on Saturday, February 25 from 3-5.  All are welcome.
    • Our 13th annual Bucky Shoot is set for Saturday June 23rd.  Even if you aren’t a shooter we are encouraging everyone to come out to Milford Hills that day.  This will be a great chance to meet the new recruits coming in, the coaching staff, current wrestlers, and some famous guests.  There will also be a live band, great food and fellowship, and awesome auction items!  It’s going to be a great time!
    • We want to wish all the State’s wrestlers and coach’s the best going into Sectionals this weekend! We are looking forward to watching the State’s best next week in Madison. 

    Thank you for your love and support of the sport of wrestling and your Wisconsin Badgers!

    Onward and Upward,
    Trevor Brandvold

    Date: Thu 02/02/12 01:48 PM
    Hello from Colorado Springs!
    I'm writing this weekly update from the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Coach Morningstar, Eric Bugenhagen, and I have been here since Monday. It's been a great week of training. We've gotten to compete against some of the best guys at each of our weights. Tyler Graff and Travis Rutt both arrived yesterday. We are all ready to get on the mat and test where we are at. This is going to be one of the toughest and deepest Dave Schultz Memorial tournaments there has been for a long time.

    One thing we've realized since getting out here is that we are doing the right things back in Madison. We all feel that our pace and style can match anyone’s intensity. I think this will be an important message to get across to our team. We have trained hard this year and we need to show it in our competitions both collegiately and internationally.

    The Badgers are heading to Illinois today for their dual tomorrow. Then they will travel to Iowa to take on the Hawkeyes on Sunday. There are winnable and important matches in both these duals for our guys. It will be a big weekend for Big Ten Tournament seeding.

    Thank you for your continued support and commitment to the Badger Wrestling family and our cause!

    FYI-Wrestling starts out here at 9am mountain time. Matches will be aired on www.themat.com . I have filmed some of the facilities, practices, and have some interviews from our week. They will be uploaded on my YouTube account sometime next week at brandvoldwrestling.

  • Iowa Hosts Badgers in Home Finale

  • Scoring woes continue against No. 7 Nebraska, 36-0

 

Fellow Badgers,

Greetings from Madison!  We are in the middle of another tough training week to get the guys ready for Nebraska on Sunday.  This will be the last home meet of the season so we are hoping to see you there!

 It has been a tough stretch for the squad and staff but we are continuing to work, move forward, and compete!  This week we have been emphasizing getting to our inside tie ups and working attacks off of that.  We also have been working on the mat with staying compact and getting off the bottom.  Many of our matches in the last couple weeks have been getting out of control due to getting turned.  We must be able to get off bottom in order to give ourselves chances to win matches.

One bright spot in our dual against Minnesota was getting Ben Jordan back on the mat.  He wrestled a very smart match on Sunday and defeated the #6 ranked guy in the country.  Ben is now 8-2 against ranked wrestlers for the season.  He has his sights on one thing this season and is looking to get on a roll going into the postseason. 

We also sent some wrestlers last weekend to Dubuque.  The redshirts got in some matches against guys from all Divisions.  Matt Kelliher paced the group finishing 2nd to UNI’s starter Joe Colon.  Brandon Weber and Brett Hochstaetter also wrestled well finishing in 6th place. 

We learned that Cole Schmitt will not be able to wrestle this 2nd semester due to grades.  It is extremely tough losing Cole for the rest of the season.  Hopefully this will be a learning experience for him and we look forward to getting back in the lineup next season.  He is a tough wrestler and good guy and we will be doing all we can to help him get through this. 

While the team is preparing for Nebraska this week and Illinois/Iowa next week a few of us Badger Wrestling Club athletes will be gearing up for the Dave Schultz International tournament in Colorado Springs February 2-4.  Tyler Graff, Coach Ryan Morningstar and I will be heading out after the Nebraska dual to the OTC to get some training in before the tournament.  It will be a great opportunity to gear up and get mat time before the Olympic Trials in April.  Eric Bugenhagen will be going out and will use this tournament to try and qualify for the trials.  Travis Rutt will also be competing there in attempt to qualify for the trials in Greco.  He has looked tough all year and is excited to get back to Madison next year!  Speaking of Greco, future Badger Jesse Theilke has had a good year of training at the OTC and is gearing up for the trials.  Jesse is a stud and we’re excited for him to come back home from Colorado!

Also in freestyle Badger Andrew Howe just won the Guelph Open on Saturday in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.  He went 4-0 at the tournament and was named themat.coms wrestler of the week. 

Coach Davis and Coach Morningstar went up to watch two future Badgers Rylan Lubeck and Devin Peterson on Tuesday as#1 Rapids dueled #2 Merrill.  It sounds like it was a great dual and it is exciting to see two good in state programs go at it.  Both Peterson and Lubeck are having good senior years. 

Other Badger recruits Justin Koethe, Phillip Laux, Isaac Jordan, Ryan Taylor, T.J. Ruschell, and Kegan Gennrich are all having great seasons and are getting geared up for their postseason runs.  We can’t wait to have them all in the new wrestling room next year!

We want to thank you for your continued support of Wisconsin’s Division 1 wrestling program!  As you can see there is a lot to be excited about!

Just FYI the 13th Annual Bucky Shoot’s date has been decided.  We will be having the fundraiser at Millford Hills Hunt Club on Saturday, JUNE 23! Mark your calendars now and get your teams lined up.  It is a great event and way to support Badger Wrestling!

Hope to see you Sunday!
Yours in Wrestling,
Trevor Brandvold
