FORT CARSON, Colo. – The U.S. Army defended its team title with a dominant performance at the 2011 Armed Forces Greco-Roman Championships at the Special Events Center on the Fort Carson Army base.
Army won all three dual meets, stopping Navy 29-2, Air Force 30-0 and Marines, 21-2. The Marines placed second with a 2-1 record, the Navy was third with a 1-2 record and the Air Force was fourth with a 0-3 record.
The Army team won all seven individual gold medals in the tournament, matching last year’s feat.
Repeating as Armed Forces Greco-Roman champions were Army wrestlers Peter Hicks (84 kg/185 lbs.), Justin Millard (96 kg/211.5 lbs) and Dremiel Byers (120 kg/264.5 lbs).
The other individual U.S. Army champions were Nate Engel (55 kg/121 lbs.), Marco Lara (60 kg/132 lbs.), Glenn Garrison (66 kg/145.5 lbs.) and John Anderson (74 kg/163 lbs.). All seven Army champions finished with a 3-0 record.
The individual champions in Greco-Roman earned a spot in the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Iowa City, Iowa, April 21-22.
Byers had already qualified for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials as a past U.S. World Team and Olympic Team members. The other six individual champions have been added to the field in Iowa City at their weight classes.

“This is the toughest, smallest tournament you will ever wrestle in,” said U.S. Army Coach Shon Lewis. “It doesn’t matter if you are 33-0 or 0-33, it’s a rivalry and there will be some tough matches. They guys competed well. I am proud we got all seven. Coming into this tournament, I didn’t have guys like Mango, Lester, Davis. They are already qualified for the Olympic Trials. Except for Byers, all the guys who wrestled today needed to qualify for the Olympic Trials. I am pleased with them. We are halfway there. Tomorrow we have freestyle. It isn’t a qualifier, but it is the Armed Forces and we have to be ready.”
Six of the runners-up were from U.S. Marine Corps, with the U.S. Air Force having the other runner-up.
“It was a hard-fought, very intense competition,” said U.S. Marine Corps coach Dan Hicks. “Hats off the Army. They wrestled extremely well. They have a strong team. I don’t think that’s a secret. My guys fought hard. We will keep fighting them. We finished second, so we have work to do.” |

Army grips 2009 Armed Forces
Wrestling Championships
|
|
|
|
|

366th Fighter Wing Public Affairs Office

3/17/2009 - MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho --
The Army dominated the
mats to win 12 of 14 gold medals at the Armed Forces Wrestling
Championships held March 14 and 15 at Mountain Home Air Force Base.
The Army strong armed its way through the Greco-Roman rounds March 14,
winning six of seven gold medals and continued to overwhelm competitors
from the Marines, Air Force and Navy in the freestyle events the
following day.
During the opening day's competition, Army started the day by shutting
out Navy 28-0 in round one. The Soldiers went on to crush the Air Force
26-3 in round two followed by a decisive 19-3 win over the Marines. In
the freestyle rounds March 15, the Army thwarted wrestlers from its
sister services to easily surpass the Air Force 28-1 in round one followed
by 26-2 and 27-3 victories against the Navy and Marines respectively.
"I'm pleased at this point in the year with my guys; out of 42
matches over the weekend, we lost two matches to go 40-2 over the
weekend," said Army Coach Shon Lewis, a native of Oakland, Calif.
"It would've been nice to have gone 42-0, but out of 14 weight
classes, we were able to win 12 gold and two silver."
Jermaine Hodge from Hillsborough, N.C., returned to this year's
championships as the first of three double gold medal winners for the
Army, easily dispatching Air Force's Tyler Moore, Navy's Dante Santos
and Marines' Jonathan Pattison. Aaron Sieracki of Richland Center,
Wis., took gold medal honors for the Army in 84 kilogram weight class
both days while Orange Park, Fla., native Kevin Ahearn led all
competitors in the 96 kilogram class.
The last match of the evening involving Army's Timothy Taylor and
Marines' David Arendt capped off what Coach Lewis considered an
exciting competition filled with some unexpected turning points for his
Soldiers.
"Taylor won the first period and started getting a little winded
coming off of shoulder surgery," Lewis said. "He didn't have
really any time to train, so we put him in there and told him [the
tournament] was going to be his on-the-job training. In the second
period, the Marine was doing a great job putting on the pressure
because he knew [Taylor] was tired and a bit out of shape. [Arendt]
started racking up points but got a little too far ahead of himself,
and my guy was able to roll him and pin him. [Taylor] had to go with
everything he had because he didn't have much left in his 'tank.'
"
Steven Forrest of Bennington, Vt., gave the Marines their first gold
medal of the championships by defeating Air Force's James Hodges in the
opening Greco-Roman round followed by a 3-0, 2-0, decision over Navy's
Greg Crane and Army's Jess Hargrave later that day.
"Steve Forrest is really coming along and starting to make a mark
in the national scene," said Marines Head Coach Dan Hicks.
"We're looking forward to seeing him do well in the
nationals."
The gold medal win gave the Marines a one-medal advantage over the Air
Force in the first day's events with both services each receiving three
silver.
Ryan Bridge claimed the Marines' second individual gold medal by
overpowering Air Force's Chris Bloom and Army's Alfredo Varela in the
60-kilogram freestyle events March 15. Bridge's battle against Varela
came down to the last 11 seconds in round three as the Marine scored to
pull ahead until Varela claimed another point to knot the score.
Undaunted, Bridge racked up the deciding point just before the final
whistle, Hicks said.
Forrest continued to shine for the Marines, winning the silver on day
two. Despite an injury during the March 14 bouts, Tyler Moore bounced
back to become the Air Force's two-time silver medalist at the
championships.
The Marines finished the weekend with 12 medals, picking up three
silver on March 15. The Air Force improved in the medal count by
earning three silver in the freestyle competition.
"The team that is always defending the 'home turf' [at Mountain
Home] typically does well and steps it up a little bit more," said
Richard Estrella, an Erie, Pa., native who has spent the past 22 years
as the Air Force's head coach. "The team kept the intensity going,
fought for every point and wrestled every single moment of every
match."
Lewis was cautiously optimistic of the Army's performance as they
prepare for the national championships in Las Vegas in April followed
by the 2009 World Team Trials, which run from May 30 to 31 in Council
Bluffs, Iowa.
"My guys really buy into the system and believe in what we're
doing," Lewis said. "The Army black and gold supports each
other. We're not afraid to get in each other's faces at times when we
need to, but when it's time to go to battle, we stick together."
Conducted under the support of the Armed Forces Sports Council, the
armed forces championships promote understanding, goodwill and
competition among U.S. service branches through inter-service sports
competition. The championships also provide the means of selecting
teams and individuals to represent the armed forces in national and
international competition. In addition to wrestling, armed forces
sports competitions select men and women to represent the U.S. military
in basketball, bowling, volleyball, softball, rugby, boxing, golf,
soccer, cross country as well as Marathons and triathlons.
Participants for each sport are selected at training programs and trial
camps hosted by each service branch. Mountain Home played host for the
Air Force wrestling championships starting in mid-February.

Story by Mr.
Van Stokes, Fort Campbell, KY, USA CISM Wrestling Team Captain

Greco-Roman
wrestling was completed at the 26th Military World Wrestling
Championships in Split, Croatia Friday. The Islamic Republic of
Iran won three gold medals and a silver, while USA wrestlers
garnered one silver and two bronze medals.
Organized by the Conseil Internationale du Sport Militare, known as
CISM, over 20 sports are conducted annually with the motto of
"Friendship Through Sports." The wrestling
compeition featured the top military wrestlers from 24 countries.
In 66 Kg., SPC Faruk Sahin, of the Army's World
World Class Athlete Program at Fort Carson, Colorado, took the silver
medal after losing the championship bout to Afshin Biabanger, of the
Islamic Republic of Iran, 0-5, 0-5. Both periods were scoreless
after the first minute. Sahin was in the down position first in
each period, and Biabanger took full advantage of Sahin with a lift and
throw in each period for the margin of victory.
Sahin gained the championship bout by beating Mykola
Savchenko, Ukraine, 1-1, 2-1 in the qualification round. Later,
Sahin needed all three periods to defeat Hyouk Eom, Korea, 3-4, 5-2,
3-0.
At 55Kg., SPC Jermaine Hodge won the bronze medal by
defeating Song Buer, China, 0-2, 4-2, 3-0. Hodge lost his opening
bout to Gyu-Jin Choi, Korea, 1-3, 0-3. Choi, the gold medalist in
the competition, pulled Hodge into the Repechage bout for the bronze
against Buer, who lost to Choi in the semi-final bout.
Against Buer, the first minute of each period was
scoreless. Hodge lost the draw in each of the three periods
but seemed undaunted in the down position. Buer gained
an exposure with a gut wrench and went on to win the first
period. In the second period, Hodge lost two points when he
was unable to execute the start, but quickly gained them back by
turning Buer for two, and then hitting a high gut wrench for the
margin.
The final period belonged to Hodge who
was placed down first, and then kept Choi from scoring.
Hodge picked up two more points when Buer was penalized for
the start.
The other bronze medal was earned at 74 Kg.
by SGT James Shillow, USMC, who beat Ju Bo of China, 7-0 in
the first period. Bo was knocked out of the bout by a
separated shoulde after Shillow stuck two gut wrenches and a tilt in
the first period.
SPC Aaron Sieracki, Army, lost his bronze medal match at
84 Kg. to Jan Fischer, Germany, 1-1, 0-4, 1-2. Sieracki beat
Antti Hakala, Finland, 1-1, 2-1, to gain the medal match
At 96 Kg., SSG Deon Hicks of the Army was eliminated
from medal contention in his first match, when he lost to Yasin
Deliktas, Turkey, 2-2, 1-3.
At 60 Kg. SGT Donovan Depatto, USMC, defeated
Alijaksandr Ruchko, Belarus, 3-0, 0-3, 1-1, before losing his
quarterfinal bout to Artem Kudyk of Ukraine, 0-4, 0-6.
Depatto was tossed in each period, and finished the competition out of
medal contention.
At 120 Kg., SGT David Arendt, USMC, lost his opening
bout to Hay Devender of India, 6-0, 1-2, 2-3, who subsequently lost in
the semi-finals to the eventual gold medalist, Oleksandr Chernetskyi of
Ukraine.
SSG Shon Lewis, of the Army, and the Head Coach of
the Armed Forces Team, had high praise for the quality of the
competition. "As I watched the guys warm up, I am looking at
four or five European or World Medalists," said Lewis.
"This is an international first class tournament. I
can't stress enough how tough it is."
When looking at the USA wrestlers, Lewis noted,
"This is big for them because this is at such a high level.
They need these international matches." Lewis said,
"This is huge."

The 26th World Military Wrestling
Championships came to a close Sunday in Split, Croatia with seven
military world champions crowned in Freestyle wrestling. Belarus
won the team title in Freestyle to go along with its third place finish
in Greco-Roman.
The Islamic Republic of Iran
and Korea each won two gold medals, while Armed Forces wrestlers from
the United States were unable to mount the medal platform. Jafar
Daliri and Fardin Masomi Valadi of Iran won the 96Kg and 120Kg weight
classes respectively. In the lower weights, Hyun-Jin of Korea won
the 60 Kg. title, while his teammate, Young-Ho Jung won gold at 66 Kg.
CPT Phillip Simpson of the
Army's World Class Athlete Progam and Fort Carson, Colorado, was the
highest place finisher for the USA. Simpson lost the Bronze Medal
Match at 74 Kg. to Celal Dal of Turkey, 4-3, 2-5, 0-3. After
winning the first period with an early takedown and a turn off of a
counter, he initiated two front headlocks, only to be countered
himself. In the third period, all of the scoring came within the
last 30 seconds, as Simpson was taken down before being turned for
the final two points.
Simpson lost his first bout
of the day to the eventual gold medalist, Oleg Bilotserkivskyi,
Ukraine, 3-6, 0-6, and was taken to his back once in each of the two periods.
In the repechage, Simpson beat Wu Zijian, China, 2-0, 3-2.
It was a tough day for U.S.
Armed Forces Freestyle wrestlers throughout the competition. At
55 Kg., LCPL Miguel Pena, USMC, lost his first bout to eventual
silver medalist Sandeep of India, 2-4, 0-3. In the repechage,
Pena was defeated by G Tian Zhenguan, China, 0-1, 0-3. The young
Pena placed eighth in the weight class that was won by Adhamjon Achilov
of Uzbekistan.
At 60 Kg., SPC Alfredo
Varela, Army, fell from medal contention early with a qualification
round loss to Mahamed Kamil Magomedov, Belarus, 0-3, 0-3.
At 66 Kg., SGT Glenn
Garrison, Army, defeated Adam Sobieraj, Poland, 1-1, 7-0,
6-1, before losing in the quarterfinals to Pavel Hrybailau,
Belarus, 0-3, 1-4. Garrison was taken down to his back in the
first period, and taken down again and turned in the second
period.
At 84 Kg., Jeremy Pederson,
USMC, lost to Peter Weisenber, Germany, 0-5, 0-6. Weisenber had
his way in the bout scoring off of strong ankle laces following takedowns
in each period. Pederson was pinned in his repechage bout to
Radoslaw Horbik, Poland, at 1:17 of the second period.
At 96 Kg., PFC Willie
Parks, Army, won his qualification round bout over Onur Balci, Turkey,
3-0, 4-0. Parks won the first period off of the single-leg
clinch after both wrestlers were unable to score in the first two
minutes. Parks lost the next bout to Mateusz, Poland, 0-1, 0-3,
before losing the repechage against Alsn Bzikov, Belarus, 1-3,
0-1. Bzikov scored off of two takedowns and a controlling leg
lace.
The U.S. Armed Forces
team did not have a competitor in the 120 Kg., weight class.
COL Steve Hunte served as
the Chief of Mission for the United States. Hunte, a former
University of Iowa wrestler, and former All Army Wrestler in the
1980's, spoke highly of the competition. "We have
Soldiers coming together to watch other Soldiers, who can't speak the
same language, but can appreciate the skill and techniques of good
wrestling," said Hunte. "They can see who has the heart
of a champion and who can come back from being down to win. That
is a great moment." Hunte continued, "CISM is a great
venue with lots of countries coming together, where everyone has an
appreciation of good wrestling skills."
The Conseil
Internationale du Sport Militaire, known as CISM, realized its
goal of promoting "Friendship Through Sports" in the
competition. Now, over 200 competitiors from 24 countries
will return to home with a deeper appreciation for their military
friends in Olympic-style wrestling.

Army Wins 2008
Armed Forces
Wrestling Championships
|
|
The Army won the Greco-Roman and Freestyle competitions
at Armed Forces Wrestling Championships conducted March 15-16 in New
Orleans. Following the two days of Olympic style wrestling, Army
wrestlers won ten of the fourteen gold medals handed out at the
competition. The Marines placed second in the Greco-Roman
competition, while the Navy took silver in the Freestyle.
In the 120 Kg. weight class of the Greco-Roman
competition, Dremiel Byers, Army, was stunned by David Arendt, Marines,
who pinned Byers in 1:32 of the first period. Byers, who was
caught in a reverse and thrown to his back fully extended, was unable
to escape the grip of Arendt. As the match continued in the
pinning situation, Arendt was able to gain the fall over the Armys
two-time world medalist.
Shon Lewis, Army Coach, was axiomatic with the
bout. We are going to try to make this a blessing in
disguise. This lets us know we have some work to do, said
Lewis. To make good out of it, it has to happen here. It could
have happened at the Olympic Trials. It lets us know we need to
put the medals in the drawer and go and get another one.
Arendt, along with the other gold medalists, has
qualified to represent the United States Armed Forces at the World
Military Wrestling Championships, September 1-8, in Split,
Croatia. Arendt also won placed second in Freestyle behind Mark
Simmonds of the Navy.
The only double gold winner was Jermaine Hodge, Army, in
55 Kg. Lewis was high on his young wrestler. I am pleased
with Hodge, especially for him to fight through an eye injury in his
first match. You have to be impressed with anybody going out
there and winning in both styles, said Lewis. Hodge defeated
Anthony Brooker, Air Force, for the gold in Greco-Roman, and beat
Miquel Pena, Marines, for first place in Freestyle.
The winners of the Greco-Roman competition qualified for
the Olympic Trials, June 13-15 in Las Vegas. While the Freestyle
competition was not used as a qualifier for the Olympic Trials, many of
the military wrestlers are now headed for USA Wrestlings National
Championship, April 24-26 in the Las Vegas Convention
Center.
