Wrestling
As Nebraska Wrestling makes its much anticipated debut into the Big Ten Conference in 2011-12, the program looks to continue its long standing success as one of the most prestigious and successful programs in the county. Coach Mark Manning has continued a long line of success in his 11 seasons at the helm of the Huskers. With hard work and a dedication to excellence, Manning has developed a program that consistently competes with the nation’s best.
Since its inaugural season in 1910-11, Nebraska has earned 617 dual victories, including 138 wins over the past 10 years under Manning. Over the past decade, the Huskers have finished in the top 12 at the NCAA Championships six times and racked up 26 All-America honors, including four individual national titles.
In the classroom, the 2010-11 Huskers were recognized by the NWCA for the eighth-highest grade-point average in the nation (3.13). Nebraska wrestlers Josh Ihnen and Tucker Lane were both named to the NWCA Individual All-Academic team, while six Huskers were named to the Academic All-Big 12 team, including a conference-high five to the first team. Lane capped off his season by being named to the Capital One CoSIDA Academic All-American second team, becoming the fifth Huskers wrestler in school history to earn the honor.
One reason NU has been able to develop such a successful program is its top-notch facilities. In October, the Husker wrestling program will move into the state-of-the-art Hendricks Training Complex, which will provide three full-sized practice mats, new office suites and new areas for both strength and conditioning and athletic medicine. From the Devaney Center to the state-of-the-art weight room in the Osborne Athletic Complex, Nebraska provides its wrestling program with the necessary environment for success.
