Muskegon CC Finishes 6th at NJCAA Championships with 5 All-Americans

The Muskegon Community College Jayhawks competed at the NJCAA National Championships in Des

Moines, Iowa on February 27 & 28. The Jayhawks came into nationals ranked #11 and won the Central

District Title just two weeks earlier. The Jayhawks also qualified wrestlers at all 10 weight classes and

tied a school record with 5 All-Americans while finishing 6th as a team.

“It was a great finish to our season. We improved on our 7th place finish at the Multi-Divisional National

Duals in January.” said Head Coach and Central District Coach of the Year James Tietema. “We

accomplished a lot of goals this year. “We were 7th at the National Duals, 6th at the NJCAA National

Championships, won our District, and qualified all 10 wrestlers to the NJCAA National Tournament.”

Three of the Jayhawks four sophomores were All-Americans with 2 freshmen also earning All-American

Honors. “I’m really proud of the way our sophomores wrestled and bounced back from adversity. It’s

tough to go into a tournament wanting to be a national champ and not accomplishing that goal. Our

sophomores were able to bounce back after losses and continued to advance in the tournament, which

was key to our high team placing.” said Coach Tietema

The Jayhawk’s All-Americans were: 133 lbs. Sophomore Zack Cooper (Big Rapids, MI/Whitehall HS), 165

lbs. Freshman Davon Jackson (Bay City, MI/Bay City Central HS), 174 lbs. Sophomore Mason Courtright

Olivet Wrestling Duals November 22, 2014 @ 10:00 am - 6:00 pm

#11 Jayhawk Wrestling Team Upset Olivet and Alma to Improve to 5-0

The #11 Jayhawks traveled to Olivet, MI on Saturday, November 22 to compete in the Olivet Duals. The

Jayhawks faced multiple obstacles this weekend and were able to upset Olivet College 23-22 and Alma

College 23-20. The Jayhawks added another win against Davenport University 34-9. The Biggest obstacle

for the Jayhawks had to overcome was having three wrestlers out of their line-up. The Jayhawks were

down their 125, 174, & 184 starters that caused them to forfeit two of the ten weight classes.

The Jayhawks opened their day against Olivet College with the most exciting Dual match of the day. The

Jayhawks were down 22-17 going into the HWT match between MCC’s freshmen Jay Sroufe (Britton,

MI/Dundee HS) and Jesse Judge of Olivet. Sroufe was able to pin Judge with just 19 seconds left in the

match scoring six team points and giving the Jayhawks a 23-22 win. “As intense as the moment was I

had a lot of confidence that Jay was going to come through for the team. He was getting better as the

match continued and was getting closer and closer to getting a pin. You could feel the excitement

building.” said Head Coach James Tietema.

The Jayhawks continued to wrestle well against Davenport winning 34-9. The Jayhawks were set up for a

great tournament with only one match to go. The Jayhawks were facing Alma College in their final match

and once again found themselves in a HWT match that would decide the Dual, tied 20-20 at the start of

HWT match. This time it was freshman John Marogen (Monroe, MI/Dundee HS), a high school teammate

of Sroufe at Dundee HS, to win the dual for the Jayhawks. “John wrestled a smart HWT match. He

controlled the action and tempo of the match to receive a stalling point that gave him the lead. He then

was patient and let his opponent force a bad attack and countered for the win.” Head Coach James

Tietema said about the match. The Jayhawks beat Alma College 23-20.

The Jayhawks take a short break for Thanksgiving and will be back in action on Friday and Saturday,

December 5 & 6 in Niagara, NY in the Timberwolves Open.
