WRESTLING: Provincial Championships Scheer grapples her way to podium

Mar 09 2006

Scheer determination

Jody Scheer (top) wrestled her way through the 20 girls in her weight class to make it to the podium at the B.C. High School Wrestling Championships with a fifth place finish.

A total of 98 teams, comprising 455 of B.C.’s best high school wrestlers, stormed into the Prince George Civic Center for the B.C. Secondary School Provincial Wrestling Championships March 3-4.
Four Columneetza grapplers, along with one from WLSS, represented the lakecity in the two-day event.
Columneetza’s Jody Scheer was the only Williams Lake wrestler to earn a spot on the podium, taking a fifth place finish among 20 competitors in the girls’ 54kg class. For Scheer, it was her second trip to the podium in as many years of high school competition.
Scheer had started with back-to-back wins over Lord Tweedsmuir’s Sanjeet Sandhu, and Charles Best’s Rebecca James. Then tough losses to Alberni’s Kaitlyn Coates, the eventual gold medalist, and Mackenzie’s Koren Pitkethly, who went on to take bronze, put Scheer on the sidelines.
Pitkethly was one of only two medalists from the host North-Central Zone, along with Prince George’s Kelly Smith, who also earned a bronze.
WLSS’ Wes Black came within one match of making his first trip to the podium, narrowly losing a tough match to Smithers’ Bree Addison in the consolation round of the tough Boys’ 84kg class. For Black, who is only in Grade 8, it was on outstanding achievement.
“He’s got a great future in the sport,” said coach Rick Bryan. “He knew he would be up against the province’s best Grade 11 and 12 athletes. But he backs down from no one.”
Other lakecity wrestlers making the trip to the provincials included Columneetza’s Melissa Burtenshaw (girls’ 69kg), Micheal Holm (boys’ 60kg), and Travis Heitmann (boys 63kg). Veteran Columneetza wrestler Lisa Manuel (girls’ 51kg) had qualified for the provincials, but was sidelined with a shoulder injury.
In the team standings, North Vancouver’s Carson Graham took the girls’ trophy, edging out St. Thomas More. Abbotsford’s powerhouse Rick Hansen nailed the boy’s team trophy, out pointing perennial rival Burnaby Central.
This year’s event in Prince George marks the first time in over 15 years that wrestling provincials has been held in the North.
“Usually the provincial championships are held on the Lower Mainland, or maybe on the Island,” said Bryan. “It was a wonderful opportunity for our zone to put on some real northern hospitality. Teams from all over the province were raving about how smoothly the tournament flowed.”
“The Prince George Civic Center was an awesome venue for the provincials,” added Bryan. “Williams Lake really needs to roll up its community sleeves to develop a multi-use facility like this. We are missing some excellent opportunities to host top-level events, which would bring a tremendous boost to our city’s economy.”
The next event for Williams Lake wrestlers will be the School District 27 Elementary (Grade 4-7) Championships, coming up on Friday, March 10, starting at 9:30 a.m. Over 140 young grapplers are expected to compete.

No stopping the Bucs
Beamsville wrestlers capture provincial team championship

By Bernie Puchalski 3/7/06
For: www.stcatharinesstandard.ca

There was more than he could have imagined riding on Mark Laverick’s bronze-medal match at the OFSAA wrestling championships in Sarnia last week.

“It actually came down to his match. If he wins his match, we win the (overall) team title,” said Beamsville coach Dave Collie.
Of course, Beamsville’s Kelly McNiven and Emily Fillmore had to win their gold-medal finals first, but it was Laverick’s 72-kilogram bout that would put Beamsville over the top.
“It would have been too much pressure and there’s no way he needed to know that,” Collie said.
The 17-year-old was in complete agreement with his coach’s decision to keep him in the dark.
“It would have added a lot more pressure, and it’s one more thing I didn’t need in the back of my mind,” he said.

Laverick ended up winning the match to give Beamsville its first combined and second overall team title since 2002. The Beamsville girls also brought home the team title, their first since 2002. Beamsville has now won three official OFSAA girls team titles and two more when girls wrestling was a “festival” sport.

“I have a group of kids who have seen excellence in the past and are willing to work hard to achieve it again,” Collie said.

Helping to achieve the combined and girls titles were: gold medallists Fillmore (47.5 kilograms) and McNiven (57.5 kilograms); silver medallist Lydia Fortney (unlimited); bronze medallists Laverick and Lauren Bartfai (54 kilograms); sixth-place finisher Marc Hare (44 kilograms); seventh-place finisher Zach Goodale (41 kilograms); and, ninth-place finishers Victoria Martindale (57.5 kilograms), Kathleen Hearn (67.5 kilograms) and Katryna McKenna (unlimited).

Beamsville set itself up for team glory by winning all 20 of its matches on the first day, including 18 by pin and two by technical superiority.

“That was just crazy,” Collie said.

The only other local medallist was Thorold’s Adam Bartlett, 19, who won silver at 57.5 kilograms. The four-time SOSSA champion was fifth at OFSAA last year.

Placing fourth at OFSAA were Thorold’s Craig Stuart (95 kilograms) and Stamford’s John Cottrill (64 kilograms).

McNiven was one uptight wrestler by the time her gold-medal match rolled around.

“She put a lot of pressure on herself because she didn’t qualify (for OFSAA) last year. As each match went on, you could see her getting tighter and tighter and tighter,” Collie said.

The 18-year-old Grade 12 student would agree with that assessment.

“I got more and more cautious as it progressed. I didn’t want to get caught and get put on my back,” she said.

McNiven was confident she could erase last year’s disappointment.

“I knew it was possible all the time but it was whether I could keep my head in it and not panic.”

The reigning 55-kilogram junior provincial silver medallist she’s off to the nationals during March Break will be heading to Brock University and its powerful wrestling program in the fall.

“I want to improve as an athlete. I would like to make the varsity team but that’s a pretty big stretch. They have some really good people in my weight class,” she said.

Like McNiven, OFSAA presented some anxious moments for Fillmore, a bronze medallist at last year’s championship.

“It was nerve-racking because I came back to high school to win OFSAA. And the girl in the final was a really good wrestler and I was nervous to wrestle her,” the 18-year-old said.

But the Grade 12 student came out on top in the final against defending champion Jade Parsons.

“She wrestled really, really smart. In the final, she did enough to win the match,” Collie said.

The victory took awhile to sink in for the 2006 48-kilogram provincial junior champion.

“It hit me at the end when we had won all the titles and then it was, Oh, my gosh, I can’t believe I won it.’ ”

Like McNiven, Fillmore will try and crack the Brock team in the fall.

“I’m aiming to make the team but it’s pretty much to learn. I’m expecting to get my butt kicked every day and get better,” she said.

Fillmore and McNiven have already been training up at Brock two or three times a week for the past two years.

“We at least know what to expect instead of going there and being overwhelmed at what they do every day,” she said.

There would be no OFSAA repeat for Fortney.
Despite grabbing an early lead in the gold-medal match, she was pinned by her opponent.
“I was disappointed but I tried not to be too disappointed. I still have a year to come back and go for the gold,” the 16-year-old said.

But the loss still hurts for the Grade 11 student.

“I worked hard all year and I don’t think my outcome at OFSAA was as good as it should have been,” the 2006 provincial juvenile bronze medallist said.

“She went in as defending champion which is a lot of pressure. But she had a great tournament despite a nagging injury in her shoulder,” Collie said.

“It was weird. It hadn’t been bothering me for a whole week until the final,” Fortney said.

She will use the loss to prepare for the next high school wrestling season.

“It motivates me for next year to work harder, put more effort in and not give up as quick as I did. I could have tried a little harder to get out of my pin.”


Winning only one of three matches at last year’s OFSAA championships hit home with Lauren Bartfai.
“I didn’t take it seriously enough and I wasn’t dedicated,” the 16-year-old said.
Instead of looking to excel at OFSAA, the Grade 11 student was just happy to be there.

This time was certainly different. Other than a 2-0 (3-2, 3-2) loss in the semifinals, Bartfai pinned all of her opponents and ended up capturing a bronze medal.
“She was just dominant in her weight class,” Collie said.

Bartfai credits her improved showing to better technique and faith in herself.
“I have a lot more confidence and I’m having more fun with it. I’m enjoying it a lot more because I’m better at it,” she said.

Count Collie among the believers in Laverick’s abilities.

“I knew he had it in him. For him to do that in his second year against some tough competition is phenomenal,” Collie said.
For the Grade 12 student, it all goes back to 21 days training with 2004 Olympian Evan MacDonald, a member of the Brock wrestling team.
“I always look at it if I can stand three weeks training with an Olympian, then I could stand in for six minutes against a guy from high school,” Laverick said.

And how does MacDonald compare with high school wrestlers?

“It’s kind of like that old cartoon Godzilla versus Bambi. It would kinda be like that,” he said.

Missouri Valley girls
Six Missouri Valley College wrestlers, including captains Stephany Lee and Clarissa Calibuso, hail from Hawaii

By Al Chase 3/9/06
achase@starbulletin.com

COURTESY OF MISSOURI VALLEY COLLEGE
Members of the Missouri Valley College wrestling team include six grapplers from Hawaii. They are, from left, Selina Perez, Clarissa Calibuso, Tanya Miyasaki, Stephany Lee, Angelee Homma, and Chaneal Meletia.

CLARISSA Calibuso and Stephany Lee are enjoying college life in Marshall, Mo., as co-captains of the women's wrestling team at Missouri Valley College.

"They were selected by a team vote and run team meetings that are apart from me," said Missouri Valley coach Carl Murphree.

"Stephany is an exercise major and she has taken it upon herself to talk about nutrition and sports psychology (match preparation) and how to break down the season. She has helped me a lot in this area."

The captains are joined by four more Hawaii women -- Chaneal Meletia, Selina Perez, Tanya Miyasaki and Angelee Homma -- on the Vikings roster.

Lee, Perez, Meletia and Miyasaki will compete this weekend in the College Nationals at Williamsburg, Ky.

This is the first of three important spring meets. The other two are the U.S. Senior Nationals in April at Las Vegas and the Body Bar FILA University Nationals at Colorado Springs, Colo., in May.

"We are only taking the top two wrestlers in each weight class on our team to the nationals," Murphree said.

Lee, a junior from Moanalua, has been ranked No. 1 in the 158-pound class in the themat.com collegiate poll every month since the first poll in November.

Perez, a junior from Baldwin, is in the same weight class and was the national collegiate champion last year when Lee was sidelined with an ACL injury to her right knee.

Lee suffered the injury in a match against the Russian National Team in Moscow in January 2005.

"I PLANTED MY FOOT and the girl turned me and my foot stuck in the mat," said Lee.

She returned to action last October and won her class at the Sunkist Kids/Arizona State International Open.

"Stephany's strength is her big-scoring moves, usually throwing moves," Murphree said.

"I think her judo background is a big advantage. She does a good job of combining judo moves with wrestling tactics and not everyone is able to do that well."

Lee is a physical education major and Perez is majoring in criminal justice.

Meletia, a sophomore from Hawaii Baptist, is No. 2 in the 128-pound class on the team behind Rachel Billerbeck, who is No. 5 nationally.

"Chaneal has a lot of tricks that she pulls out. Some are high school techniques, but she is able to catch people in bad positions," said Murphree of the psychology major.

Miyasaki, a junior from Castle majoring in exercise science, competes in the 105-pound class. She is a clever wrestler, according Murphree.

"I don't want it to sound bad, but Tanya is somewhat lazy, but she knows how to win," Murphree said. "Tanya catches people off guard. She even does it to her teammates and they know it is coming.

"She frustrates her opponents, then pulls something out of her bag and puts them on their back."

Homma also competes in the 105-pound class, where she is No. 3 in the Vikings' pecking order. The junior business major is from Aiea.

"Angelee has been to a number of tournaments. She is doing all right," Murphree said.

BOTH LEE AND Calibuso delayed starting college after graduating from Moanalua. Lee had shoulder surgery following her senior season and coached at Farrington for a year.

She had talked with Murphree, but there was a concern about the amount of her scholarship.

"In the spring of 2003, I went to the junior worlds and did pretty good. Then I went to the Senior Nationals in Vegas and came in third," Lee said. "After that I talked to Missouri Valley even more."

A national judo champion prior to entering Moanalua, Lee did not wrestle as a freshman.

"Joel Kawachi (then the wrestling coach) kept bugging me about coming out. I came out my sophomore year because I wanted to get better mat work for judo," Lee said. "Then I got my black belt and decided to just wrestle."

Being ranked No. 1 does not bother Lee.

"I've always been under pressure, I like pressure, I don't break when it comes to pressure," she said.

LEE IS POINTING to the U.S. Senior Nationals, a qualifier for the world team. She has been on the world team the past two years and wants to stay there. Lee's long-range goal is to make the U.S. team for the 2008 Olympics in China.

Calibuso graduated in 1999, then continued in the sport, helping coach at Mililani and Moanalua while working at Foot Locker.

She was offered a scholarship to Missouri Valley her senior season but decided not to go to college then.

"I kind of wanted to, but my mom thought it was too far. She didn't think I would get anything out of the education if I got homesick," said Calibuso, an exercise science major, who is minoring in business and wants to be a personal trainer.

However, she missed the competition, missed the feeling of wrestling on the mat.

"I knew I needed to get an education and figured I might as well wrestle and get an education a the same time," Calibuso said.

"During the four-year layoff, I was focused on coaching. I enjoyed coaching, but I wanted to wrestle again and I did something about it."

IN THE JANUARY themat.com rankings, Calibuso was No. 3 nationally in the 121-pound weight class, but dropped out in the last two months.

"I suffered a concussion toward the end of January. I had headaches and nausea and didn't practice," Calibuso said. "I just got better a week ago, got back on the mat, then sprained my left ankle."

Murphree indicated Calibuso would be fit to wrestle later this year.

"Clarissa knows how to work hard in a match and score the points she needs," Murphree said.

Murphree said he is looking at five or six Hawaii girls from this year's senior class.

One is Desiree Memea (University), who wrestles for Pac-Five and won the state 175-pound title last Saturday.

"There are about 80 students from Hawaii on campus. I think a lot of Hawaii's athletes. I think some NCAA schools ignore them. We don't ignore them," Murphree said.

"Marshall is about as non-Asian as you can get, but on campus that doesn't make a difference," added Murphree.

"We've had loco moco and musubi on our menus here and the Polynesian club goes around to schools in the area. With the Asians, Hispanics and northern whites on the team, we have some of the best potlucks anywhere."

Women rope and wrestle for Women's History Month at Marshall Hab Center

Wednesday, March 8, 2006
By Eric Crump/Staff writer

What do wrestling and rodeo at Missouri Valley College have in common?
Women.

Students from both sports gave demonstrations and answered questions March 7 at the Marshall Habilitation Center as part of MHC's Women's History Month celebration.

The women's wrestling team is the newest addition to MVC's sports offerings but is the oldest program of its kind in the country, according to Coach Carl Murphree. The team formed in 1999 and has won the national tourney the past two years.

Team member Emily Rinehart explained that she got her start in wrestling because her father was a wrestling coach and she wanted to go to practices and meets with him.

"He said only wrestlers could go, so I said I wanted to wrestle," Rinehart said. "It's a great sport. It teaches you discipline, strength and mental toughness."

While team members Tabitha Ramsey, Clarissa Calibuso, Elizabeth Hernandez and Courtney Martell demonstrated moves and throws, Chaneal Meletia explained to the audience what they were doing, noting which moves receive the most points during a match.

"The more spectacular it is the more points," she said.

When audience members gasped at some of the throws, Murphree noted that although "it looks scary" the women are trained to fall properly, reducing the chance of injury.

The same principle applies to the women members of the MVC rodeo team, two of whom were present to demonstrate roping and goat tying techniques.

Rodeo Coach Ken Mason said the women train hard in order to be in the best condition they can. A member of the audience asked how dangerous the sport was.

"I've been lucky. I haven't broken anything," said Sasha Sankey, who specializes in goat tying. "If you learn to do things right it reduces the risk."

Jennifer Heisman, a Lindenwood University graduate student who serves as assistant coach, said goat tying involves tremendous skill, speed and agility.

"They step off a running horse and have to run down a goat," she said. "They are amazing athletes."

Mason agreed, noting that the rodeo team, which started with four students in 1993, has grown to 48 members this year, 26 of them women.

"Some of the best cowboys I know are cowgirls," Mason said.

'All the hard work and training wasn't for nothing'

Brock's Alana King pins gold medal at national wrestling championship

By Bernie Puchalski

For: www.stcatharinesstandard.ca

Local Sports - Monday, March 06, 2006 @ 01:00

With ice packs on her left ankle and right elbow, Alana King was smiling through the pain Saturday.

The 21-year-old Brampton resident, who went to high school at Governor Simcoe until Grade 11, had just won the Canadian Interuniversity Sport women’s 48-kilogram title, defeating Simon Fraser’s Miranda Dick 2-0 (1-0, 3-0).

"It feels great. I never won OFSAA and it shows that all the hard work and training wasn’t for nothing," she said.

And winning at Brock made it all the more special.

"This is the last year the CIS is at Brock so it’s an added bonus that I won in front of my hometown crowd. I consider it home here because this is where I started wrestling."

To drive that point home, her high school coach, Brian Kilroy, was present doing television commentary for local cable outlet Cogeco and former junior coach Bill Smith is now the women’s coach at Brock.

King celebrated her victory with a few tears as the referee held her arm up in victory.

"It was just happy tears. They were tears of joy," she said.

King’s progression has seen her place fifth at the CIS championships in 2004, third in 2005, and champion in 2006. Last year, she was second at the senior nationals and was a member of Canada’s under-23 team.

"Mentally, I’m a little bit more there, but it’s the same training and dedication," she said.

Smith says King’s success has come with a new level of maturity.

"Placing second at the senior nationals gave her the confidence she needed."

King’s victory helped propel Brock to its second straight bronze medal in the women’s team standings. Simon Fraser was first, winning its record fourth straight title, and Calgary was second.

Michelle Fazzari’s incredible rookie season came to an end with a loss to Simon Fraser’s Emily Richardson in the 59-kilogram CIS final.

Richardson won the first round 3-1, Fazzari won the second 2-1, scoring the winning two points with 14 seconds left, and then Richardson won the match with a pin with 16 seconds left in the match. Richardson’s move came seconds after the 18-year-old Fazzari nearly scored the winning points.

"I wrestled well. It was a tough match and a good challenge for me," the Caledonia native said.

The Ontario University Athletics champion and outstanding female wrestler would end up being named the CIS female rookie of the year.

Richardson, a fifth-year wrestler, was named the CIS outstanding female wrestler.

"I’ve got four more years left of this and four more years to go for the gold," Fazzari said.

Her first trip to the CIS championships taught her focus and perseverance.

"If you want it, you can do it. You can be young and you don’t have the experience, but if you want it, it’s there."

Jumping from fifth to second at the the CIS championships was a huge step for Jessica Bondy.

But the 21-year-old Windsor native wasn’t too excited after her 2-0 loss (5-0,7-1) to Calgary’s Brittanee Laverdure in the 55-kilogram final.

"I’m happy I made a jump but you are never satisfied until you come out on top," she said.

Smith put Bondy’s performance down to nervousness.

"At this high level, she tightened up a little bit and got off her game. But her opponent was very tough and experienced and shut her down," he said.

Bondy will use the meet to continue her quest for CIS gold.

"You always have to give 100 per cent but sometimes you lose even when you give 100 per cent. That’s why you keep training and keep aspiring to be better the next time around," she said.

Also contributing to Brock’s third-place standing were: fifth-place results by Beamsville native Liz Martindale (51 kilograms) and Jocelyn Dresser (72 kilograms); and sixth-place results by Lin

Sportswomen of Colorado to honor Army wrestler

By Tim Hipps 3/9/06
USACFSC Public Affairs

U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program wrestler Sgt. Iris Smith is one of 45 females scheduled to receive an award Sunday from the Sportswomen of Colorado.

Smith won a gold medal in the women's 158.5-pound freestyle division of the 2005 World Wrestling Championships at Budapest, Hungary. She defeated five-time world champion Kyoko Hamaguchi of Japan, 3-1, 1-1, 1-0, to become the new world champion in her weight class.

To reach the championship match, Smith posted victories over Bulgaria's Stanka Zlateva, Poland's Angnieska Wieczczek, and Germany's Anita Schaetzle.

The only American to win a gold medal in the tournament, Smith became the fourth U.S. female wrestler to win a world crown, joining Tricia Saunders, Kristie Marano and Sandra Bacher.

Smith has competed twice in the World Championships, finishing seventh in 2000. She also made Team USA's roster for the 2001 World Championships but missed the tourney to attend Army basic training.

A native of Albany, Ga., Smith is stationed at Fort Carson, Colo. She qualified for the U.S. World Team by winning the World Team Trials in June at Ames, Iowa, where she defeated Ali Bernard of New Ulm, Minn., in their championship series.

Smith won her fourth national championship in April at Las Vegas, where she pinned Bernard in the second period of their championship match. In May, Smith won a bronze medal in the 2005 World Cup at Clermont-Ferrand, France, where she lost only to Hamaguchi.

Founded in 1974 by the YWCA of Metropolitan Denver, Sportswomen of Colorado claims to be the first community-based organization in the nation to solely honor female athletes, celebrate their achievements, and recognize those who have improved sports for girls and women.

The awards will be presented during the organization's 32nd annual banquet at the Marriott Tech Center in Denver.

WRESTLER OF THE YEAR: VANESSA EPPS

Frisco, Jr., 138 pounds
The way to Vanessa Epps' heart isn't with silver.

Try gold. As in state championship gold.

Epps, a junior from Frisco, took her silver medal from last year's UIL State Wrestling Championships to this year's tournament as a reminder of what she didn't want to take back home with her. The pain was too great.

"I just didn't want any part of it," she said. "I took it out several times just to let myself know I wanted gold."

Epps finished a 45-0 season with a dominating performance at the state tournament. She pinned all four opponents, spending less than nine minutes on the mat. She needed just 3:48 in the final to beat Arlington Seguin's Ivonne Ramirez.

So what will Epps do for an encore? What will motivate her next year?

Learning new techniques, she says. Becoming a more complete wrestler. And wrestling for her teammates and coaches.

Oh, and silver. She still doesn't like silver.

E-mail twills@dallasnews.com
