Parade of All- Americans will be at 6:30 p.m., with the championship matches scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. AUGSBURG S TROPHY TRADITION -- Augsburg has a chance to extend one of the longest trophy streaks in NCAA wrestling history this season. The top four teams at the national tournament receive NCAA trophies, and Augsburg has earned one with a top-four finish every year since 1989, a 24-year streak that is the longest active streak in NCAA wrestling among all divisions, and the second-longest streak in NCAA wrestling history, behind the 29 of Oklahoma State from 1928-59. Augsburg s 26 top-four finishes in NCAA tournament competition are the fifth-most in NCAA wrestling history, and the most among non- Division I wrestling programs. AUGSBURG S ALL-AMERICAN TRADITION -- Depth has always been a hallmark of the Augsburg wrestling program, and that has shown in the number of All-Americans -- finishers in the top eight of each weight class -- that the team has had. Augsburg has earned at least five All-Americans every year since 1989. Augsburg has had at least one All-American in national competition every year since 1977 -- 36 straight years. Augsburg has earned 217 wrestling All-Americans in program history. EIGHT AUGGIES TO COMPETE AT NATIONALS -- Eight Augsburg wrestlers will compete at the national championships. Augsburg had two weight-class champions at the NCAA West Regional on March 2 -- top-ranked heavyweight Chad Johnson (JR, Ferryville, Wis./De Soto HS) and Matt Hechsel (SO, Apple Valley, Minn.). Tossaporn Boyd Suparat (SR, North Branch, Minn.) finished second at 133 pounds, and five Auggies finished in third place in their weight classes -- 125-pounder Mike Fuenffinger (SO, Hibbing, Minn.), 141-pounder Tom Kuehn (SO, Fargo, N.D./West Fargo HS), 157-pounder Kurt Knutsen (SO, Inver Grove Heights, Minn./Simley HS), 165-pounder Justin Bowland (JR, Foley, Minn.) and 174-pounder Josh Kohler (SR, Monticello, Minn.). Defending national champion Wartburg (Iowa) has the most qualifiers at the national meet, with entrants in all 10 weight classes. Augsburg and Wisconsin-Whitewater are tied for the second-most, with eight qualifiers each. Cortland State (N.Y.), Springfield (Mass.), Concordia-Moorhead (Minn.), Luther (Iowa) and St. John s (Minn.) have six qualifiers each, and Elmhurst (Ill.), Delaware Valley (Pa.), Centenary (N.J.), Dubuque (Iowa) and Elizabethtown (Pa.) have five qualifiers each. JOHNSON HAS CHANCE TO JOIN ELITE COMPANY -- Augsburg heavyweight Chad Johnson (JR, Ferryville, Wis./De Soto HS) has a chance to join some elite company this year, as he could become the 10th Augsburg wrestler to win multiple national championships in school history. Johnson enters the national tournament with a 33-1 record, with his lone loss this season coming to Northern State (S.D.) heavyweight Matthew Meuleners, who won Division II national Auggie NCAA Tourney Lineup 125 -- Mike Fuenffinger (26-6) (SO, Hibbing, Minn.) 133 -- Tossaporn Boyd Suparat (28-12) (SR, North Branch, Minn.) 141 -- Tom Kuehn (24-16) (SO, Fargo, N.D./West Fargo HS) 157 -- Kurt Knutsen (13-21) (SO, Inver Grove Heights, Minn./Simley HS) 165 -- Justin Bowland (20-17) (JR, Foley, Minn.) 174 -- Josh Kohler (27-12) (SR, Monticello, Minn.) 197 -- Matt Hechsel (32-9) (SO, Apple Valley, Minn.)

Augsburg College -- a tradition of wrestling excellence Augsburg's wrestling team has dominated small-college competition over the last three decades. Augsburg has finished among the top two teams in national competition 22 times since 1975, winning national titles 11 times in NCAA Division III competition and earning runner-up honors 11 times (10 in Division III, once in NAIA). Augsburg has finished among the top four teams nationally in Division III competition every year since 1989. The Auggies have won 11 NCAA Division III national championships in the last 22 seasons (1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2010), a record in Division III competition. Augsburg is one of only three NCAA schools to have won 10 or more college wrestling national titles (Oklahoma State has won 34 Division I team titles, while Iowa has won 23 Division I team titles). Augsburg has also finished second eight times since 1984, in the top four nationally the last 24 seasons in a row and in the top 20 nationally (NCAA from 1983 to present, NAIA pre-1983) every year since 1971. Augsburg has earned a trophy finish -- finishing among the top four teams nationally to capture an NCAA trophy -- every year since 1989, the longest current streak among any NCAA wrestling program, regardless of division. Augsburg s 24-year streak is 13 more than the next-longest current top-four streak -- 11 years by Wartburg (2002-present). The 24-year streak is the second-longest consecutive-year top-four streak in NCAA wrestling history, behind a 29-year streak by Oklahoma State from 1928-59 (no tournaments were held in 1943, 1944 and 1945). Against opponents from Divisions II and III, Augsburg is 271-34-1 in dual meets since the 1989-90 season. Augsburg has lost just 30 matches to non-division I opponents since the 1995-96 season. Against strictly NCAA Division III opponents, Augsburg is 269-34-1 since the 1979-80 season. Since the 1989-90 season, Augsburg is 194-24-1 against Division III opponents. Against opponents from the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, Augsburg is 199-5 since the 1975-76 season. In winning each of the 14 MIAC Team Dual Meet tournaments, Augsburg outscored its conference opponents by a 3,266-145 margin in going 68-0. The MIAC no longer sponsors an individual tournament and ended the MIAC Team Duals in the 2003-04 season. Augsburg has a record of individual success nationally, both on the mat and in the classroom. Since Pat Marcy won the school's first NAIA national title at 150 pounds in 1972, Augsburg wrestlers have earned 46 individual national championships, including 42 NCAA Division III national titles, the most in Division III history (Augsburg has been an NCAA Division III member since 1983). Wartburg (Iowa) is second with 37 NCAA Division III individual titles, while Montclair State (N.J.) is third with 28, Brockport State (N.Y.) is fourth with 25, and The College of New Jersey is fifth with 21. Augsburg has earned 217 All-Americans in school history (since 1969; 36 NAIA, 181 NCAA). Augsburg has had at least one All- American in national wrestling competition (NAIA and NCAA) every season since 1977 and at least five All-Americans every year since 1989. At the 2005 NCAA Division III national championships, Augsburg earned All-Americans in all 10 weight classes for the first time in program history and just the second time in Division III history (Wartburg also accomplished the feat in 2003). Augsburg College has also been a success in the classroom. Over the past 27 seasons, Augsburg has produced 117 National College Wrestling Association (NWCA) Scholar All-Americans. Augsburg had five Scholar All-Americans last season and has had 94 athletes honored since 1997, including 14 under current head coach Mark Matzek. Since the NWCA has awarded Division III academic team national championships, Augsburg has finished second three times and first twice (1998-99, 2011-12), including the 2011-12 academic national title with a team grade-point average of 3.7341 (4.00 scale). Augsburg has also had 10 Capital One Academic All-Americans in wrestling, as awarded by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) -- Dan Lewandowski (1996-97), Josh Cagle (1998-99 and 1999-2000), Jim Peterson (1998-99), Brian Jones (1999-2000), Mark Matzek (2004-05), Ryan Valek (2004-05 and 2005-06) and Tony Valek (2010-11 and 2011-12). Head Coach Mark Matzek Head coach Mark Matzek (Augsburg 05) was named the ninth head coach in the history of the Augsburg College wrestling program in July 2008. Matzek currently has a 47-16-1 dual-meet record as a head coach, with 25 All-Americans and three individual national champions. The 2012-13 season is Matzek's eighth on the Augsburg coaching staff; he served as an assistant coach on former head coach Jeff Swenson's staff for two seasons and was an assistant head coach under former head coach Sam Barber in 2007-08. During his Augsburg coaching tenure, Matzek has been a part of national title squads in 2006-07 and 2009-10, national runner-up squads in 2008-09, 2010-11 and 2011-12, and teams that finished third nationally in both 2005-06 and 2007-08, with 45 All- Americans and seven national champions. Augsburg is 74-22-1 in dual meets in Matzek s seven seasons on the Augsburg staff. Matzek was one of the top lightweight wrestlers in Augsburg history. He earned 133-pound All-American honors three times and won national titles twice in his career, finishing with a 129-21 record. In 2002-03, he finished fourth nationally with a 40-7 record, then won his first national title in the 2003-04 season, finishing 35-4. He finished his career with a 42-match winning streak, which included a 34-0 mark in his senior season as he repeated as national champion -- joining a select group of nine Auggie wrestlers in school history to win multiple national championships. He was a member of Auggie squads that won the national title as a team in 2002 and 2005, while finishing second nationally in 2003 and 2004. Matzek earned the team's Coaches Award his senior season, was the team's Auggie Award winner his junior season and earned the team's Most Improved Wrestler award his sophomore season. Academically, Matzek was a three-time NWCA Scholar All-American, a CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree three times, and a CoSIDA Academic All-America first-team selection in 2005. He was named an Augsburg Honor Athlete in 2005. He was a mathematics and secondary education major at Augsburg and carried a 3.408 grade-point average. He was a member of Augsburg squads that ranked sixth twice (2003, 2005) and third (2004) in the NWCA s team grade-point-average national rankings.
