Now that most of the high school state tournaments are in our rear view mirror, USA Wrestling is gearing up for the 2012 ASICS/USAW Folkstyle Nationals. Here are the event specifics:
2012 ASICS/USAW Folkstyle Nationals
March 30 ? April 1
Cedar Falls, Iowa

For complete schedule details and event registration, please visit www.usafolkstyle.com.
We already have wrestlers from 29 states signed up for the event, and we are on pace to set a new record for total participants. USA Wrestling does not charge for adjusting weight classes, even at weigh-ins, so we are encouraging all wrestlers to sign up as soon as possible to guarantee their spot in the event.
Also, the cadet and junior finals will take place on 2 mats inside the McLeod Center, UNI?s championship venue, and will be broadcast on www.themat.tv by Badger State Wrestling?s Shane Sparks and USA Wrestling?s Jason Bryant.
In addition to the cadet and junior competition, Saturday afternoon and Sunday will feature over 1,400 youth and veteran wrestlers. Two-time NCAA Champion and 2011 World Champion Jordan Burroughs will be in attendance on Sunday to sign autographs and hand out awards for the youth competition.
We hope to see plenty of Louisiana wrestlers on the podium in Iowa.
Thanks for your support and please let me know if you have any questions.

Holy Cross’ Nick Michael watches younger Tigers flourish as state wrestling meet approaches
Michael Harris, Contributing writer, February 10, 2012 6 a.m.
Holy Cross’ wrestler Nick Michael is 46-0 headed into this weekend’s state high school wrestling tournament. – (Ted Jackson/The Times-Picayune)
When Nick Michael speaks about his chances of winning his fourth state wrestling title this weekend at the Pontchartrain Center, he exudes a laid-back, yet confident attitude.
The 152-pound senior Holy Cross wrestler comes in at 46-0 and has beaten some of the top-ranked wrestlers in the nation. What he isn’t too confident about is how long his records will stand at Holy Cross – and he’s more than okay with it.
The Tigers have a group of freshman who are wrestling at Michael’s level or even better – like 120-pound George Benoit.
“Yeah, he is, he’s won more tournaments than me, too,” Michael said. “He started winning tournaments right off the bat, I didn’t win anything until state.”
As a freshman, Michael was 37-13, Benoit enters at 34-11 a matchup that would seem pretty even except, so far, Michael has only a state title as a freshman ahead of Benoit.
“I kind of knew George would come in and do better than me,” Michael admits. “He still has one more challenge ahead of him to where we match up.”
Whereas Michael takes a casual attitude toward this week’s state meet, Benoit is all business. He enters the tournament seeded second, a tenuous spot for someone of his experience.
“Seeded second as a freshman is a big deal,” Benoit said. “As a freshman, being seeded second, I have a huge target on my back. I’ve beaten juniors and seniors and they don’t like that. So I expect a dogfight every match.”
One expected dogfight is when Benoit most likely will meet up against Cody Hill of Live Oak. Three of Benoit’s 11 losses have come against Hill, but each time, Benoit has improved to the point where he lost by only one three weeks ago.
“I’ve wrestled him each time this year and it was … freshman mistakes, you know?” Benoit said. “It’s fixable things, it’s things you work on everyday at practice.”
Even a senior like Michael went through the same issue when he was a freshman. And he points that out to Benoit.
“What I keep reminding George is, it’s not going to be easy,” Michael said. “I had my own kids that just beat me and beat me. But at state the pressure is on them and he doesn’t have much to lose at this point and that’s where things really happen.”
Now flip that thought, wouldn’t Michael feel that pressure sitting with undefeated record? He’s confident he can win this weekend, but even takes the time to warn himself and the rest of the 14 Tigers wrestlers going into the meet.
“You never know what can happen,” he said. “My freshman year, there was a senior who thought he had it wrapped up. But you keep your eyes on the prize, don’t get caught up in the crowds, don’t try anything to show off for your girlfriend or your parents, as tempting as that may be. There’s going to be (a lot of) people there and you have to keep that state focus. A majority of these guys never wrestled in (front of) a crowd that big. If you let those distractions get in, it will kill you in a match.”
Of the 14 wrestlers, 13 are seeded No. 4 or higher which gives Holy Cross a pretty good chance at taking home the team title. Michael, 126-pound Dexter Bass (39-8) and 113-pound junior Alex Nicosia (33-7) are No. 1 seeds. Benoit, 285-pound senior Taj Smith (18-7) and 106-pound freshman Dylan Soileau (6-3) are seeded No. 2.
It’s a powerful group that puts the Tigers in line to win their 27th state wrestling crown.
“Not all 14 wrestlers are going to win a state championship, but if every wrestler wrestles to his seed – a five, a four, a three that’s where the team comes in and that’s something they truly believe,” Holy Cross Coach Eric Desormeaux said. “Our strength is all 14 wrestlers can place at the state tournament. But everyone has to wrestle and earn points toward the total percentage by day two.”
