The Cougars will be sending five
men to the National Junior College
Athletic Association Wrestling
Championships in Rochester, Minn.
Feb.16-17.
“The five that got through are all
capable of All-American status,”
said Head Coach Lloyd Martindale.
Kjell Nykreim continued his un
defeated record Friday night as he
took first in the 184-pound division
at the Region 18 Championships in
Yakima, Wash. Two ofNykreim’s
matches came down to the last few
seconds with a one or two point win.
Nykreim never even placed at the
state level in high school. He got
the opportunity to wrestle in com
munity college and never looked
back. Now with the regional under
his belt, Nykreim looks to a national
championship.
“I always knew I could compete
atabetterlevel,”saidNykreim. “My
biggest motivation is my wife and
my two Soys.”
Jason Pence and Shawn
Keinonen, both returning regional
champions, took second in the re
gional tournament. Keinonen
wrestled at the 165-pound level and
Pence at the 197-pound weight class
up two classes from his his previ
ous weight class in which he was
rated number one. Although he is a
bit smaller than the other competi
tors in his class, Pence believes he
has an advantage.
“Physically I’ve got a step ahead of
them because I’m a lot lighter and I
don’t have to worry about what I’m
eating,” said Pence. “Right up to the
match, that’s going to be one of my
benefits when I prepare mentally.”

fourth at the 157-pound class. Both
lost really close matches, according to
Martindale.
. “Any of those guys can be in die
finals in Minnesota,” said Martindale.
“I’m looking forward to it I think we
have a good solid group of guys go

The wrestlers are as excited as the
coach.
“I think if we wrestle to our abil
ity, we can be one of the top three In
the country,” said Nykreim. - “We
have the ability to each win an indi
