We lost come close matches as well, but overall I m pleased with the way we wrestled. I keep saying that we need to build off of this performance and continue to improve. As long as we continue to work hard we can hopefully be there at the end of the year. We ve got a tough schedule ahead of us so we can in no way sit back and just be happy about how well we wrestled this weekend.

PENRITH INKS CONTRACT EXTENSION THRU University of Northern Iowa head wrestling coach Brad Penrith has received a contract extension through the season, UNI director of athletics Rick Hartzell announced Nov. 1. This is a three-year extension, as Penrith s current contract was set to expire at the end of the Panthers campaign. Brad has done a tremendous job for UNI and our wrestling program, said Hartzell. He has done everything that we have asked and more in regards to building a program, maintaining a high level of excellence and being a team player in this department. I am extraordinarily proud of Brad and his personal growth, and the performance of our wrestling student-athletes, both in the classroom, the community and on that mat, is something very special. In Penrith s five-year tenure at UNI, eight wrestlers have been crowned all- Americans and the Panthers have always finished among the top-21 teams at the NCAA tournament, qualifying at least seven wrestlers each season. Penrith holds a career dual record of 48-35, scheduling contests against top-ranked opponents year in and year out. Under Penrith, three Panthers have reached the NCAA Championship match with Tony Davis (149) taking the title in 2000, Dylan Long (141) placing second in 2003 and Sean Stender (197) placing second last season. Stender became the first UNI wrestler to become a three-time all-american since Justin Greenlee. It is extremely flattering and exciting to be able to sign this contract extension, Penrith said. It shows the commitment Rick Hartzell and our UNI administration has in the wrestling program and the belief that we are moving in the right direction.
