— Cal Poly Wrestling —
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — The 2013-14 Cal Poly wrestling schedule, released Wednesday, includes seven home dual meets and five regular-season tournaments.
Third-year Mustang head coach Brendan Buckley has assembled a schedule that features a total of 12 dual meets and tournaments at Fresno (Roadrunner Open), Las Vegas (Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational), Reno (Reno Tournament of Champions), Evanston, IL (Midlands) and San Francisco (California Collegiate Open).
Cal Poly’s home dual meets will be against Menlo College on Nov. 23, North Dakota State on Jan. 4, Oregon State on Jan. 9, Boise State (Homecoming) on Jan. 12, South Dakota State on Feb. 9, Stanford, also on Feb. 9, and Arizona State on Feb. 14.
The Mustangs also will wrestle dual meets at CSU Bakersfield, San Francisco State, Cal Baptist, Wyoming and Northern Colorado.
“We are very much looking forward to the 2013-14 season, in which we will compete against our fellow Pac-12 opponents as well as those from the West Region,” said Buckley. “In addition, competing at the Las Vegas Invitational, the Reno Tournament of Champions and, for a few individuals, the Midlands, we will be able to compete against every major wrestling conference this season.
“Each wrestler on our team will be given a great opportunity to see the type of competition that can lead to an NCAA berth,” Buckley added.
Cal Poly returns 11 lettermen and eight redshirts off the 2012-13 squad which won two of 11 duals, finished sixth in the Pac-12 finals and sent one representative to the nationals. This year’s squad, which also includes 11 newcomers, all 2013 high school graduates, features a pair of Pac-12 champions — Devon Lotito at 133 pounds in 2013 and Dominic Kastl at 165 pounds in 2012.
Cal Poly will hold its annual Green and Gold intrasquad meet Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. in the Mott Athletics Center and will officially open its season Nov. 7 with the dual meet at CSU Bakersfield.
The 2013-14 season wraps up with the Pac-12 Conference Championship on March 1 at Stanford and the NCAA Division I National Championships, scheduled for March 20-22 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Okla.
Episode 34 of The MatBoss Podcast is with four-time All-American and three-time NCAA Division I finalist Gerry Abas of Fresno State. Gerry Abas talks about his start in wrestling in the Bay Area and how his speed, quickness and flash on the wrestling mat had its foundations in break dancing in the 1980s.
He also talks about his classic match and loss to Iowa’s Lincoln McIlravy, coaching his younger brother Stephen at Fresno State, watching the school drop the program and his feelings about it at the time. Abas also speaks about his son Jaden and what we can expect from him on the next level.
Stephen Abas
Stephen Abas, 2008 Olympic silver medalist and three-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion at Fresno State, has been named head wrestling coach at Fresno High School.
“We are excited to welcome Coach Abas to Fresno Unified, knowing that he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with our Fresno High student-athletes,” said Fresno Unified Superintendent Bob Nelson.
The statement said Abas would take the helm of the Warriors wrestling program at Fresno High immediately.
As a wrestler at Fresno State University, Abas was a four-time NCAA All-American, winning three NCAA titles at 125 pounds in 1999, 2001, and 2002. Abas tallied a 144-4 overall record for the Bulldogs, including 46 pins. Abas’ career winning percentage of 97.3 percent is also a school record. For all these accomplishments, Abas was named the Fresno State Male Athlete of the Year in 1999 and 2001.
Stephen in high school (Canyon Springs HS & James Logan HS) was a 3X CIF state champion and a NHSCA National Champion in 1996.
