Head Coach Mark Manning With 100 years of history, Nebraska wrestling is one of the most storied programs in the collegiate wrestling ranks. Head Coach Mark Manning has taken the Huskers to new heights in his tenure and has established himself as one of the top wrestling coaches in the nation. The NU record book is a testament to Manning s accomplishments in Lincoln. In his 10 years at the helm, he has coached 33 of Nebraska s 88 All-Americans. He has led the Huskers to five top-eight finishes at the NCAA Championships, compared to just eight for the 14 NU coaches before him. He is the winningest coach in Husker history with a dual-winning percentage of.704 and a record of 135-56-3 at NU. He won back-to-back Big 12 Coachof-the-Year awards (2008 and 2009) after guiding Nebraska to a share of the conference crown in 2009 and a runner-up finish in 2008. NU went on to finish fourth at the NCAA Championships both seasons with nine Huskers earning All-America honors and Jordan Burroughs capturing the 157-pound national title with a perfect 35-0 record. In addition to their success on the mat, Husker wrestlers under Manning have earned 35 academic All-Big 12 selections (3 1/2 awards per year), including current student-athletes Tucker Lane and Josh Ihnen. The pair, in addition to 2010 seniors Craig Brester and Stephen Dwyer, were all named to the 2010 NWCA All-Academic Team, as Nebraska turned in the third highest team grade-point average (3.2824). Manning s beliefs and values in developing studentathletes is evident right outside his office, where former Husker All-Americans Bryan Snyder, Jason Powell, Craig Brester and Brandon Browne are members of the NU coaching staff. During their time under Manning, Snyder and Brester were each named the Nebraska Male Student-Athlete of the Year.

The Huskers welcomed over 200 wrestling coaches from the region, as the Wrestle-Offs were held in conjunction with the 2010 Fall Coaches Clinic. The Wrestle-Offs marked the return of senior Jordan Burroughs, who missed the majority of last season with a knee injury. The Sicklerville, N.J. native was dominant in his return going 2-0, while recording a fall (2:56) in his first match against Jerad Gubbels. In his second match, Burroughs defeated freshman Robert Kokesh by a 10-4 decision to finish his night. Burroughs, now a 165-pounder, is the school s only undefeated national champion after finishing the 2008-09 season with a 35-0 record. Mike Koehnlein, a 141-pound senior, also won both of his matches on the night defeating Blake Meeks, 4-0, after he opened the night with a 11-2 major decision victory over freshman Chad Stroh. Koehnlein is one of the Huskers four returning national qualifiers after making the NCAA Tournament a season ago. True freshman Cody Magrew was impressive in his Nebraska debut, taking down redshirt freshman Mike Klinginsmith twice on the night. In their second match of the night, the 157-pound Magrew was able to escape with a 5-3 overtime win to collect his second win.
