    Adams State finishes in top ten for fourth straight season

    FINDLAY, Ohio -- Using three top four individual finishes, the Adams State College Grizzly wrestling team finished in the top ten for the fourth straight year as the 2006 NCAA Division II National Championships came to a close, Saturday in the University of Findlay's Koehler Fitness Center.

    Junior Brian Pitts (Rio Rancho, N.M.) finished third at 141 pounds while seniors Rob McCabe and Heath Soderstrom (Englewood, Colo.) finished fourth in the 125-pound and heavyweight brackets.

    The Grizzlies also received a sixth place finish from Scott Cleve (Escondido, Calif.) at 157 pounds and an eight place finish by Casey Woodall (Morenci, Ariz.) at 197 pounds as Jason Ramstetter's squad finished ninth with 52 team points.

    The University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks had three individual champions and won their third straight title with 117. Nebraska-Kearney had two individual champions and finished second with 98.5.

    All five of the Grizzlies' placers had clinched All-America honors on Friday night. Pitts and McCabe have now won two All-America certificates while Cleve, Woodall and Soderstrom each earned their first.

    The five All-Americans are the most ASC has ever had at the NCAA Division II level. Adams State has not finished in the top ten in four straight years since doing so from 1989-92, their last four years at the NAIA level.
