Cobbers Finish Third at Final MIAC Wrestling Championships.
 
Concordia wrestling coach Doug Perry was named the MIAC Coach of the Year at the final MIAC Championship Wrestling Meet.

Concordia used the strength of three runner-up finishes and four third place finishes to claim third place at the final MIAC Wrestling Championship Meet. All seven wrestlers were named all-conference by virtue of their top-three finish.  For the team's overall performance, head coach Doug Perry was named the MIAC Coach of the Year. It is the first time in Perry's 11-year tenure that he has received the honor.

Once again the team received gritty performances from the two stand-out first year wrestlers. William Duppler (Fr., Valley City, N. Dak.) and Dennis Kline (Fr., Plymouth, Minn.) continued to lead the Cobbers as they placed second in the heavyweight and 197-pound weight classes. Fellow first year grappler Peter Benson finished second in the 174-pound weight class. Unfortunately, neither Duppler nor Kline was chosen as an at-large bid to wrestle in the national tournament. The winners from each weight class automatically get invited to the national tournament. Four other wrestlers, from the five schools that participate in MIAC wrestling,  received wildcard bids . Despite having outstanding overall records - Duppler finishes at 27-18 and Kline at 23-16 - the top two Cobber wrestlers were passed over for wrestlers that had records of 22-15, 26-14 and a wrestler that finished third in his weight class.

Fellow first year wrestler Peter Benson (Fr., Murdock, Minn.) finished second in the 174-pound weight class. After his breakout performance at the MIAC Duals in January, Benson went 7-5 for the final two months of the season.

Aaron Swartz (Sr., Starbuck, Minn.) at 133-pounds, Jason Dubord (Sr., Kindred, N.Dak.) at 157-pounds, Rory Olson (Sr., Wadena, Minn.) at 165-pounds and Ed Oehlers (Fr., North Branch, Minn.) at 184-pounds all wrestled their way to third place finishes. The seven top-three finishes, out of 10 weight classes, is a new school record for top-three finishes at a MIAC Championship Meet.

Cobber MIAC Championship Preview:
The Concordia College wrestling team is currently in the midst of one of their best seasons in recent history. The Cobbers six wrestlers with winning records and four athletes that have posted 20 wins on the year. The team has not put four wrestlers over the 20-win barrier since the 1970's.

The team is led by a pair of fantastic first-year wrestlers. William Duppler (Fr., Valley City, N. Dak.) is currently 26-17 as a heavyweight and fellow first-year teammate Dennis Kline (Fr., Plymouth, Minn.) is 22-15, wrestling in the 197-pound weight division. Both wrestlers have broken the school record for most wins in a single season by a first-year wrestler. The old mark was 21 victories set by All-American Nathan Reiff in the 1995-96 season. Duppler has earned a second place finish at the Concordia Invitational and a pair of thirds at the University of Mary Invite and the Dickinson Invite. Kline won the St. Olaf Open, and has a couple of runner-up finishes at the University of Mary Invite and the Concordia Invitational.

The other wrestlers in the 20-win quartet are Aaron Swartz (Sr., Starbuck, Minn.) and Ryan Smith (Sr., Brainerd, Minn.). Swartz has compiled a 20-16 record in the 133-pound classification.  Swartz captured the 133-pound championship at the UW-Eau Claire Tournament.  Smith owns a 22-13 mark, wrestling in the 149-pound weight division. He has posted third place finishes at the St. Olaf Open and the University of Mary Invite.

Other wrestlers that should factor into the Cobbers success are Jason Dubord (Sr., Kindred, N.Dak.) and Rory Olson (Sr., Wadena, Minn.) and Peter Benson (Fr., Murdock, Minn.). Dubord wrestled his way to a 3-1 record at the MIAC Duals in January, and helped sparked the Cobbers to a third place finish. Olson has a second place finish at the St. Olaf Open, while Benson put up an impressive 3-1 mark at the MIAC Duals.
