157 Pound Wrestle-Offs
Frank Day - Frank is a true freshman that came to UB from nearby Letchworth High School where he competed his senior year at 152 pounds. He won 127 matches in high school. He is making big improvements and is one of the most improved wrestlers on the team from the start of preseason. Fun Fact: Frank thinks about food all day every day, and his favorite food is chicken finger pizza.
Matt Dehney - Matt is a true freshman at UB. He was one of the very best wrestlers at the New England Championships last year and won the New England Tournament. He finished in the top 12 at NHSCA Senior Nationals. Matt is a very hard worker and is looking to improve upon his past success. He stays in good position and is very hard to score on. Fun Fact: Matt enjoys off roading in his Jeep Wrangler and riding Snowmobiles.
Kris Duge - Kris is a true freshman that came to UB from just a few miles down the road where he wrestled at Clarence High School. Kris has been a member of the Super Six Wrestling Club (club practices are in our wrestling room at UB). Kris is a very unorthodox wrestler and is best in a tie-up, especially with a Salto Throw. He is fun to watch becuase he is never out of a match. He has some good throws and can use his unbelieveable flexability to get out of dangerous positions. Fun Fact: Kris is so flexible that he can do upside down clap push-ups.
Mark Lewandowski - Mark is a redshirt sophomore at UB. He started his freshman year at 141 pounds and placed a strong 2nd at both the NYS Collegaite Tournament and the Michigan State Open that year with a 14-11 record. Mark struggled to make 141 pounds at the end of the year as he hit a growth spurt and moved up to a more natural weight of 157 pounds as a sophomore. As a sophomore, Mark battled a few injuries and redshirted. He posted a 11-4 record and placed 2nd at the Edinboro Open and 6th at the Cleveland State Open. He is 100% healthy and ready for a breakout year. Fun Fact: Mark claims to be the best hunter/fisherman on the UB Wrestling Team.
165 Pound Wrestle-Offs
Pat Brady - Pat is a true sophomore who spent some time spot-starting last season. He wrestled at 174 and 165 for us last year but will be competing his natural weight of 165 pounds. He went 10-13 last season and competed in seven tournaments. He made the finals at both the NCCC Open and the NYS Collegiate "B" Tournament. Pat is steadily improving and has become much better at finishing his shots as well as on top. Fun Fact: Pat's favorite band is the tragically hip.
John-Martin Cannon - John-Martin or JMC as he likes to be called is a true junior. He has started both of his first two years at UB and is curently ranked 13th in the country. Last year, he was an Academic All-American and national qualifier. We beleive that he is more than capable of becoming an All-American and National Champion. He is very athletic and has a great variety of attacks. As a freshman, JMC won 22 matches at 157 pounds while placing 3rd at the NYS Collegaite Tournament, 4th at Body Bar, and 6th at the UB Open. As a sophomore, he again won 22 matches, won the NYS Collegaite Tournament, and placed at the prestigious Las Vegas Invitational. Look for big things out of Cannon this season. Fun Fact: John-Martin claims to be the best cook on the team.
