Dana College went 5-0 in regular season conference duals and put up 124.5 points in the conference wrestling tournament. 2006-2007 is the first year that the GPAC is offering wrestling as an official conference championship sport.
All five of the Vikings conference champions were named to the first team. Matt Jacobson (FR, Craig, NE), Terrence Almond (SR, Pelham, GA), Brian Graham (FR, Kansas City, MO), Dan Pray (SO, St. George, KS), and Wade Jordan (JR, Coulee City, WA) were named to the inaugural all-conference first team. Webster Farris (JR, Nebraska City, NE), Burke Barnes (JR, Lake Stevens, WA), Jesse Boggs (FR, Deming, NM), Ryan Tuzon (FR, Wailuku, HI), and Craig Trampe (SR, Ord, NE) were named to the second team. Eric Graham (FR, Kansas City, MO) made the honorable mention team.
Terrence Almond was also named the first ever GPAC Wrestler-of-the-year. The senior from Pelham, GA is closing in on Dana's all-time win and pin marks. Viking skipper Richard Fergola was named the GPAC Coach-of-the-Year in his first season.
The Vikings will be in action next weekend at Dickinson, N.D., when they take part in the NAIA Regional Tournament. The NAIA National Wrestling Tournament will be held in Sioux City, Iowa at the Tyson Event Center on March 2-3.
