Five State Finalists Highlight Wrestling Recruiting Class

      A state champion and four state runner-up finishers highlight the UW-Stevens Point wrestling team�s recruiting class for the upcoming 2006-07 season.

     A total of 10 individuals have informed Pointers� coach Johnny Johnson of their intentions to attend the school in the fall and compete in wrestling.

     Leading the way is Dennis Reckelberg, who went 42-6 while winning the 160-pound Division 2 state title for Luxemburg-Casco this past season. Reckelberg also helped his team to the WIAA state team championship and was third at state in 2005 with a 44-6 overall record.

     Two state runners-up from this past season that plan to attend UW-Stevens Point are Neenah�s Ben Engelland, who was 44-1 at 189 pounds in Division 1, and Auburndale�s Chris Karl, who was 34-7 at 152 pounds in Division 3. Engelland was also third at state as a junior with a 40-1 record, while Karl was fifth at state with a 34-10 record as a junior.

     Jake Hahn, a 141-pounder from Pittsville was a state runner-up with a 44-1 record in 2004 and placed fifth in 2003 with a 42-1 record. Mo Malone, who attended Iowa State last season, was a two-time state runner-up for Amherst, posting a 45-3 record as a senior at 125 pounds and 43-4 mark as a junior.

     Crandon�s Chad Cracraft also plans to compete for the Pointers after compiling a  48-5 record and third place finish at 215 pounds in Division 3 last season. Fred Lane from Stanley-Boyd was a state qualifier with a 35-3 record at 152 pounds after placing fourth in Division 2 with a 34-7 record at 145 pounds in 2005. Brandon Stearns, a 141-pounder from Baraboo, also plans to attend UW-Stevens Point.

     Two out-of-state wrestlers are also part of the recruiting class. Chad Gregory, a Lawton, Okla. native, ranked second in the state last season before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Robert Prinsen was a state qualifier for Lakeville, Minn. last year and posted a 30-13 record.

     UW-Stevens Point placed 11th in the NCAA Division III last season for its fourth consecutive top 11 national finish. The Pointers were also runner-up in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference for the sixth time in the past seven years.
