Joe Parisi, the head wrestling coach of the NAIA national champion Lindenwood Lions joined Wrestling 411 radio on Tuesday to talk about the NAIA, his team’s run at the championships and the diversity within wrestling. Parisi was very vocal about some changes that need to be made in college wrestling, not just on the NAIA level, but in the entire realm of college wrestling.

Travis and Trent Paulson, twins from Council Bluffs, Iowa and alumns of Iowa State University joined Wrestling 411 during the third segment to talk about winning championships at the U.S. Nationals in Las Vegas this past weekend.

Wrestling 411’s Kyle Klingman and Jason Bryant are back again in studio to talk with Bucknell head wrestling coach Dan Wirnsberger and Nebraska National Champion Jordan Burroughs.

Burroughs capped a perfect season by beating previously undefeated Mike Poeta of Illinois in the finals at 157 pounds, while Wirnsberger had his third-year team finish third in the EIWA and earn its first All-American since the program was reinstated in 165-pounder Andy Rendos.

What did Wirnsberger say about building his program? What did Burroughs say about his monumental run?

Although they are ranked third in the nation, Nebraska has been lacking four things all season: Depth at the first four weight classes.

The dual between Nebraska and fourth-ranked Iowa State on Feb. 22 at the Coliseum in Lincoln was a rematch of the third place match between the two teams at the NWCA National Duals on Jan. 11. In the face of a combined 1-15 record by the Huskers’ lightest four weights, Nebraska placed fourth following a 20-19 loss to Iowa State at the Duals.

Nebraska was put in a hole before the dual began when Nebraska 125 pounder Andy Pokorny missed weight by .2 pounds.
