103	Jared Bowlin	Fr	Borough Champion. Untested at the state level. Very talented and great heart and desire.
103	Omar Carvajal	Fr	Very competitive and tough for opponents to handle. It will be a fight all year long to see which two 103 pound kids advance to the regions.
103	Glen Rodman	Fr	Undefeated throughout his middle school career. Placed many times in state freestyle and is a 2X greco-roman champion.
112	Shawn Jurco	Fr	With an outstanding middle school folkstyle and free-style career behind Shawn, high school wrestling should fit right in to his schedule. Shawn heads a very talented group of freshmen into the 97' season.
119	Chris Parker	So	Region Champion in 96' and placed second in state at 103 as a Freshman. Outstanding work ethic and talent.
119	Peter Malone	Fr	Another one of the undefeated middle school wrestlers coming to join the ranks. This will be a highly competitive weight class in our own room to see who goes to regions. Quality everywhere!
119	Sean Sullivan	So	Regional runner-up in 96' to teammate Parker. Sean finished fourth in state at 103 as Freshman. Hardnose competitor for us.
125	Jason Maudal	So	Regional runner-up in 96'. A Very talented multi-sport athlete and should continue to have even greater success over the next three years.
130	Joe Johnson	So	Battled to finish third and qualify for the state tournament in 96'. Another one of the kids we expect to get state points from in 97'.
130	Eric Brenegan	Jr	Third in Regions and state qualifier as a freshman. Sat out the 96' season and has tremendous ability and desire.
130	Ralph Hemphill	So	First year wrestler and may very well be the best athlete, pound for pound, on the team. That is saying something considering the talent on this team.
135	James Linderman	Sr	Returning State champion at 130 last season. James is a 2X state placer with a unique style. As a 7th seed at state, you learn never to count anyone out. A very big heart.
140	Howard Couvillon	Jr	State qualifier in 96', Howard has progressed nicely throught he system. He is ready in 97' to make the jump to the next level.
140	Henry Haney	Sr	Season cut short for personal reasons in 96'. Henry should continue to show his great quickness and strength in 97'.
145	Abe Porter	Sr	2X region champion and state runner-up in 96'. His desire and ability should allow him to reach even greater heights in 97'.
152	Mike Miller	Sr	Mike brings to the program added leadership and talent. He had an outstanding freestyle career and wants to add high school wrestling to an already full resume'. Tremendous athlete, by mid-season he should be ready to step in and contribute.
152	Eli Porter	Sr	Looks to be one of the top prospects in his weight class in 97'. A tremendous "student of the game".
160	Luke Nelson	Sr	A 3X state qualifier. Luke placed fourth in 96' and looks to be a favorite to reach the finals in 97'
160	Dan Smith	Jr	One of the most exciting first year wrestlers I have had the opportunity to watch in years. He will be ready to move to the next level this season.
160	John Kassik	Sr	Place fourth in 96' and looks to have a great shot at moving to the next level within this weight class in 97'.
171	Luke Hulien	Sr	2X state qualifier. As in 96', Luke is considered by many to be the heart and soul of this team. It will be his leadership in the room that will push us to the top once again.
189	Bill Glenn	Sr	State qualifier in 96'. Was ranked int he top three at 189 through the second half of the season. Bill should make a strong run at a state title in 97'.
189	Calvin Lundy	So	Tremendous talent as a freshman. Competition from his own teammates kept Calvin from making his mark at the state meet.
215	Joe Nelson	So	Got hurt the last day of practice last year. More than likely, Joe would have been a state qualifier. We look for him to step up at either 189 or 215 this year.
275	Joey Jones	Fr	Joey has worked very hard as an athlete through his middle school years. This should pay off as he continues his career here at Nikiski.
