UW-Whitewater Sends Two to NCAA III
Sun 02/18/07 07:46 PM

LA CROSSE, WI- Bautista and Schmidt Advance to NCAA III Championship, Warhawks Third

Austin Bautista and Mike Schmidt earned a spot in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III Wrestling Championship, and UW-Whitewater finished third in the team standings at the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship Sunday in La Crosse.

Bautista (freshman, Des Plaines, Ill.) and Schmidt (junior, Menomonee Falls/Hartford) both finished second in their weight classes at the WIAC tournament, and both were at-large selections to the NCAA III championship. The WIAC tournament is a qualifier for the national meet, with the ten weight class winners earning automatic entry in to the NCAA III meet, but the WIAC is also allocated nine additional at-large contestants based on the league's success at the national level. Bautista, 27-12 at 149 pounds, and Schmidt, 20-7 at 197, will be making their first national tournament appearance. The NCAA III championship is March 2-3 in Dubuque, Iowa.

Whitewater's Derrik Johnson, the runner-up at 285 pounds, was named the third alternate for the WIAC. That means that if any of the nineteen wrestlers, including weight class winners and at-large picks, cannot make participate in the NCAA III championship the league is allowed to send an alternate. The league designates a first, second and third alternate.

In addition to the runnerup finishes by Bautista, Schmidt and Johnson, Tom Trieloff and Karl Voeck finished third in the WIAC championship. Trieloff (sophomore, Janesville/Craig) went 3-1 in the tourney and finished the year 13-8. Voeck (junior, Madion/Memorial) was also 3-1 Sunday, finishing the season 22-17. Also noteworthy, senior Adam Moe (Burlington) recorded his nineteenth pin of the season in the WIAC tournament, tying the sixth highest single season total in the school record book. Moe now shares sixth place with John Pecora (1984-85) and Carmelo Flores (1979-80). Moe wound up his senior year with a 27-12 record.

UW-Whitewater has finished among the top twenty in the national championship nineteen times in school history, most recently in 1991. The high water mark for the program was a fourth place finish in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics championship in 1975.

Team scores were UW-La Crosse 152.5, UW-Stevens Point 114.5, UW-Whitewater 96, UW-Eau Claire 89.5, UW-Platteville 76, UW-Oshkosh 62, and Lawrence University 53.5. La Crosse has won ten consecutive WIAC team championships. UW-Whitewater also finished third in the 2006 championship.
