    St. Cloud State announces team award winners

    The St. Cloud State University wrestling team has announced its team award winners for the recent 2010-11 season. The awards were handed out at the team's year-end banquet at the Holiday Inn in St. Cloud on April 15.

    SCSU senior John Sundgren (Blaine) was named the Huskies' John Weisman Award winner, which is presented to the team's Most Valuable Wrestler each season. Sundgren earned first place honors at the 2011 NCAA Division II championships at 157-pounds and he was also selected as the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Wrestler of the Year in 2010-11.

    The Huskies also presented Tom Eitter with the Jack Gause Husky Wrestling Hall of Fame. A former wrestler at SCSU in the early 1960s, Eitter also enjoyed a distinguished career as a high school and college wrestling coach. He was presented the award at the banquet by Jack Gause, who was the first wrestling coach at SCSU in 1949-50.

    The Huskies finished the 2010-11 season with a school-record 19-2 dual match record. SCSU went on to claim first place honors at the 2011 NCAA Division II Super Region #3 and the Huskies placed second at the 2011 NCAA Division II championships. This marked the first time in team history the Huskies won a regional title and the second place finish at nationals is the best in team history.
