mott athletics center

The Home of the Mustangs

‘Mott Mania’ and ‘The Asylum!’

Built in 1960, Mott Athletics Center is home to the Cal Poly men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling and volleyball programs. In the fall of 1998, the MAC was upgraded with chairback seats replacing the original wooden bleachers. New seats were installed behind both backboards in 1998, giving the MAC an arena feel to it. A new floor was installed in 2011 and repainted in the summer of 2014. Twin videoboards were installed prior to the 2014-15 basketball season.

Named after Robert A. Mott, a physical education faculty member and department head from 1946-78, Mott Athletics Center houses the athletic department offices, athletic training and strength and conditioning rooms. While working at Cal Poly, Mott also was the coach of the Mustangs baseball and men’s basketball teams before he was named Physical Education Department head after World War II.

Cal Poly hosted the 1969 NCAA Division II National Wrestling Championships, capturing the second of seven straight team titles. The 1968-69 team was led by national champions Terry Hall, John Woods, Ken Bos and Tom Kline. In 2005, Mott Athletics Center hosted the Pac-12 Wrestling Championships. Teams, officials and fans from Arizona State, Boise State, Oregon, UC Davis, Cal Poly, Oregon State, CSU Bakersfield, Cal State Fullerton, Stanford and Portland State flocked to the MAC with the total attendance for the two-day event reaching 7,738. The Mustangs finished the meet in fourth place and crowned one individual champion, Vic Moreno at 125 pounds.

In 1995, the Golden State Warriors held their preseason camp in Mott Athletics Center. Chris Mullin, Latrell Sprewell, B.J. Armstrong and No. 1 pick Joe Smith put on a show during an open practice to the public, drawing a standing-room-only crowd of over 4,000. Two years later, the Sacramento Kings conducted their camp at Cal Poly, opening the doors to the public for an intrasquad scrimmage to climax the one-week camp.

Mott Athletics Center has been home to numerous NCAA playoffs — most recently the first and second rounds of the 2006 NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship with sellout crowds each night -- and championships over the years, as well as hosting various concerts, exhibitions and sporting events.

Names like Eddie Money, The Pretenders, The Doors, Ike and Tina Turner, the Los Angeles Lakers and Bill Cosby are just a few of the names that have performed inside the Mott Athletics Center.

In 1980, the men’s basketball team hosted New Hampshire College in a Division II NCAA Championship quarterfinal. The 1998-99 season marked the first nationally televised game inside Mott Athletics Center as ESPN2 carried the Cal Poly vs. Idaho game. Other men’s basketball games have been televised by Fox Sports and KSBY-TV before capacity crowds CBS Sports Network televised a neutral-court men’s basketball game between Saint Mary’s and San Diego State in December 2020.

Jon Sioredas, Head Coach, Seventh Season

sioredas File

The 2021-22 season was yet another immense step for the emerging Cal Poly wrestling program under the leadership of Jon Sioredas, heading into his seventh season as head coach. The Mustangs ascended into the national spotlight and continued to climb into the Top 10 in the country, with six individuals nationally ranked, for the first time in nearly 40 years.

Cal Poly’s dual team was also ranked in the Top 25 for the first time in over a decade. Qualifying half of his lineup to the NCAA Championships, the Mustangs finished in the Top 25 at the NCAA Division I National Tournament in back-to-back years, with multiple All-Americans.

Evan Wick became the first-ever Mustang to achieve four-time All-American status by finishing third at the NCAA Championships. Wick was a topranked transfer from the University of Wisconsin and completed his final year at Cal Poly. Bernie Truax became a multiple time All-American with his fourth-place finish at the NCAAs. Adam Kemp, ranked as high as No. 8 in the country, advanced to day two of the championships.

Coach Sioredas attributes his program’s sustained success to its core values. As Sioredas describes it, “The culmination of our successes on the mat and in the classroom are guided by our core values, which guide and encourage our student-athletes and coaches to make decisions that are aligned with our goals. We learn how to win in wrestling and in life through our core values.

"Our expectations at Cal Poly remain the same: to graduate with a meaningful degree, have a reputation of excellence on campus and in the community, and to produce NCAA All-Americans and national champions," Sioredas added.

The 2020-21 season was capped with a top-25 finish at the NCAA Championships in St. Louis, the highest team finish since 2012, led by sophomore Bernie Truax with a run to the semifinals and ending with a fourth-place finish to become Coach

Sioredas’ second All-American in as many years. Truax also claimed the Pac-12 title at 174 pounds. Freshman Legend Lamer also finished in the top 16 at the NCAA Championships.

In Coach Sioredas’ fourth season at the helm at Cal Poly, Tom Lane became the program's first NCAA Division I All-American in eight years. The program also earned the highest team GPA on record in the Spring of 2020. Fundraising records were also set with the highest amount of money every raised in the history of Cal Poly Wrestling, including the greatest number of donors in program history.

In his third season, 2018-19, Lane advanced to the quarterfinals in the NCAA Division I National Wrestling Championships. As a junior, Lane upset the Nos. 5 and 12 seeds in the first two rounds to become the first Mustang to advance to the quarterfinals in seven years. Cal Poly also signed a Top 25 recruiting class, including four Top 100 recruits. The wrestling program’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) was again in the Top 10 in the country for the third straight year.

In his second season, 2017-18, the Mustangs captured their first Pac-12 individual title in five years -- Colton Schilling at 141 pounds -- while advancing three to the conference finals. They secured two berths at the NCAA national championships in Cleveland, Ohio. The program carried the highest team GPA of all male sports on campus in the Winter Quarter and two grapplers made the Pac-12 All-Academic Team.

In his first season, 2016-17, Cal Poly won more dual meets than in the previous five years, including wins over Big 10 Indiana and Big 12 West Virginia. The program also received its first team trophy at the Reno Tournament of Champions in 10 years. The Mustangs qualified a pair of grapplers to the NCAA Championships in St. Louis, where Colt

Shorts knocked off the No. 6-ranked wrestler in the country.

Before Cal Poly, Sioredas spent two seasons as the head wrestling coach at Grand Canyon in Phoenix, Ariz. He was brought to GCU to guide the program through the transition from Division II to Division I. During this process, Sioredas helped build depth across all weights to the standards of a Division I championship program by signing a nationally ranked recruiting class and three top-100 recruits. He was also able to pick up dual meet victories over Division I programs and place three All-Americans at the National Collegiate Open with his predominantly freshmen team.

Sioredas was an assistant coach at Chattanooga for two seasons. UTC finished the 2013-14 dual season ranked in the national top 25, at one point reaching as high as No. 19. The Mocs also captured the regular-season conference title, the conference tournament title, and qualified five for the NCAA tournament in Oklahoma City, with two seeded in the top 10.

Prior to his two seasons in Chattanooga, Sioredas spent six seasons as an assistant coach at Old Dominion. He helped guide the Monarchs to the top 25 in dual meet rankings four of his six years, with four All-Americans and an NCAA finalist. ODU also had 10 NWCA All-Academic honors, as well as being named top 10 in the nation in grade-point average during his

tenure.

During his 16 years of coaching -- eight as a head coach and eight as an assistant -- Sioredas has coached seven top-25 teams, one NCAA Division I national finalist, eight NCAA All-Americans, 52 national qualifiers, 12 Academic AllAmericans and helped with seven top-25 recruiting classes.

An All-American while competing at Chattanooga, Sioredas finished fifth in the 165-pound weight class in the 2005 NCAA Division I Championships. He was a two-time Southern Conference champion and 2005 SoCon Wrestler of the Year and Tournament MVP.

Sioredas, who has been inducted into the Tennessee at Chattanooga Athletics Hall of Fame, graduated from UTC in 2005 with a degree in sociology and anthropology. He earned his master's degree in business administration from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2009.

A native of Chesapeake, Virginia and a 2000 Great Bridge High School graduate, Sioredas was a Virginia state champion, All-American and national champion. He amassed a 181-13 career prep record, becoming the fourth winningest wrestler in Virginia high school history.

Sioredas and his wife, Michele, reside in San Luis Obispo with their son, Braden.

Chris Chionuma, Head Assistant Coach, Fifth Season

Chris Chionuma, former Oklahoma State wrestler and Big XII Conference champion, was hired as Cal Poly's Head Assistant Wrestling Coach in July 2018.

Chionuma spent the previous three years at Army West Point, helping guide the Black Knights, who qualified 12 student-athletes to the NCAA Championships in that time. He also served as head coach at Ouachita Baptist University, an NCAA Division II school, which finished fifth at the NCAA Division II National Championships under his leadership.

Chionuma was instrumental in the recent rise of Army West Point wrestling. Having assisted in signing back-to-back top-25 recruiting classes to the military institution, Chionuma is a meticulous recruiter with a keen eye on targeting student-athletes who can also handle the academic rigors. His recruiting experience will transition nicely to Cal Poly, where the average incoming GPA exceeds 4.0.

From a student-athlete development standpoint, Chionuma's primary focus is on the mid to upper weights. His experience in developing the big guys is apparent as nine of the 12 NCAA Division I national qualifiers at Army West Point over the last three years were at weights 157 and above.

"Stylistically, he brings a different flavor to the table," said Mustang head coach Jon Sioredas. "He competed at Oklahoma State, one of the most storied programs in the history of our sport, under one of the most legendary coaches, John Smith. This excites me, my staff, and our team to have the opportunity to learn from Coach Chionuma.

"However, the most important draw to him is his character. He has an infectious personality and lights up the room when he walks in. He is pas-

sionate about coaching and aspires to become a head coach. These were all the things that we were looking for when we began to target candidates," Sioredas added.

"I cannot be more excited. We have our guy!"

Chionuma enjoyed a successful collegiate wrestling career that included three separate NAIA All-America honors while wrestling at Lindenwood University from 2008-11. He also earned an individual national title at 174 pounds at Lindenwood in 2011.

Chionuma transferred to Oklahoma State following the 2010-11 season, eventually earning a Big XII championship at 184 pounds during the 2012-13 season. He compiled a 28-10 record with four falls and was a national qualifier on the Oklahoma State team that placed second at the 2013 NCAA Championships.

A graduate of Blue Springs High School in Blue Springs, Missouri, where he was a state champion during his senior season and placed third at state as a junior, Chionuma earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Education from Oklahoma State in 2012.

Chionuma married Makenzie Zinger in July 2021.

Evan Wick, Assistant Coach, First Season

Evan Wick, the four-time Division I All-American wrestler, joined the Cal Poly wrestling coaching staff as an assistant coach in October 2022.

Wick wrestled at Wisconsin before transferring to Cal Poly for his final season. He won five of six matches en route to a third-place finish in the 2022 NCAA Division I National Championships at Detroit. He also placed third as a freshman in 2018 and fourth as a sophomore in 2019. The 2020 NCAAs were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the National Wrestling Coaches Association awarded Wick All-American honors.

"Evan helped change the trajectory of our program," Sioredas said. "As good as he was as a college wrestler, I believe he will become an even better coach. He has consistently demonstrated a high level of character and leadership and I could not think of a better mentor for our student-athletes."

Wick was 23-1 in his lone season of wrestling at Cal Poly (2021-22) and closed out his collegiate career with a 133-22

record. He was 7-0 in dual meets at Cal Poly and 39-5 in his collegiate career. Among his other accomplishments at Cal Poly were first-place finishes in the Michigan State Invitational and the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational.

A three-time California state place winner while attending San Marino High School, Wick majored in rehabilitation psychology at Wisconsin and earned his bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary studies at Cal Poly.

Wick hasn't quite put the singlet away for good just yet.

"Evan will continue to compete internationally as a member of the Titan Mercury Wrestling Club, under RTC Coach John Azevedo, with goals of winning world and Olympic medals," said Sioredas. "Actively training will allow Coach Wick to continue to lead by example and provide significant hands-on experience to our current student-athletes. This is a win-win situation for everyone involved."

One of Wick's three brothers, Luka, is a redshirt freshman on the Cal Poly wrestling team.

Tristan Moran, Volunteer Coach, Second Season

Tristan Moran, a two-time NCAA qualifier from Oklahoma State and Wisconsin, was hired as a volunteer assistant coach in July 2021.

While at Wisconsin, Moran placed fourth in the 2020 Big Ten Championships at 141 pounds and qualified for the nationals, which were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He was seeded ninth. Moran also qualified for the 2019 nationals after a sixth-place Big Ten performance and finished one win shy of All-American honors.

Moran was 43-16 in two seasons at Wisconsin after trans-

ferring from Oklahoma State, where he posted a 61-16 record in three seasons on the mat, primarily as a reserve 141-pounder. He placed sixth and seventh in the Midlands during his two seasons at Wisconsin.

Of his 104 collegiate victories, 32 were by fall.

A graduate of Stillwater High School in Stillwater, Okla., Moran graduated from Wisconsin in May 2020 with a degree in life science communications. Most recently, he was working as manager of the Askren Wrestling Academy in Madison, Wisc.

Jake Ryan, Director of Operations, First Season

Jake Ryan, a member of the Cal Poly wrestling team from 2018-22, was hired as the program’s director of operations in August 2022.

Ryan won six of 14 matches at 141 pounds, all by decision, as a redshirt freshman during the 2019-20 season. He represented Cal Poly in the Pac-12 Championships at 141 pounds and won his first match before an injury sidelined him for the rest of the tournament. The season was shut down a short time later due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ryan won his first three matches that year, including two in the first two duals of the season against San Francisco State and Buffalo.

He did not wrestle in his final two seasons due to injury nor did he wrestle in any matches during his redshirt year in the 2018-19 season.

Ryan is a 2018 graduate of Oakdale High School, wrestling under former Cal Poly wrestling standout Steve Strange. After a series of injuries, he finally earned his first CIF-Sac-Joaquin Section Masters championship during his senior season, earning a berth in the state finals.

Ryan suffered injuries to both knees as a freshman and sophomore and tore his rotator cuff during the summer prior to his junior campaign. On his way to a 24-4 season as a senior, Ryan placed first in the CIF-Sac-Joaquin Section Division III Championship and was third at the CIF-SacJoaquin Section Masters Meet for his spot in the California State High School Championship at 145 pounds, where he was 2-1.

Ryan graduated with honors from Oakdale High School and is majoring in interdisciplinary studies at Cal Poly.

Transfers Help Mustangs Continue Climb

Two-time NCAA AllAmerican Bernie Truax placed fourth at 184 pounds last March in Detroit, one year after earning another fourth at 174 pounds in the nationals at St. Louis. Now a redshirt junior, Truax was 19-4 with four falls a year ago and will be competing in his fourth weight class as a Mustang, moving up to 197 pounds.

Five national qualifiers. Two NCAA All-Americans. A second straight top-25 national finish in the team standings. A top-10 national ranking for the first time in 39 years. As many as six Mustangs ranked individually in the nation.

Those were some of the many accomplishments of the 2021-22 Cal Poly wrestling team.

"We continue to learn and grow and it shows in the biggest moments," Mustang head coach Jon Sioredas said after the 2022 NCAA Championships in Detroit. "Collective effort from everyone involved. Could not be prouder.

"Having a front row seat as we reach new heights has been rewarding and fulfilling," Sioredas added.

Cal Poly qualified five wrestlers for the NCAA finals last March with Evan Wick placing third at 165 and Bernie Truax fourth at 184. Four of the five return -- Truax, Adam Kemp, Legend Lamer and Antonio Lorenzo- giving the Mustangs a solid chance to improve on last year's 22nd-place team finish at the nationals.

Cal Poly's five national qualifiers produced 10 wins and a pair of All-Americans inside Little Caesars Arena.

Evan Wick closed out his collegiate career with a third-place finish at 165 pounds while Bernie Truax earned his second consecutive fourth-place finish at 184 pounds.

"Evan and Bernie both showed a great deal of fortitude at the nationals," said Sioredas. "We are incredibly proud of our program.

Back-to-back top-25 finishes."

Cal Poly finished 22nd with 28 points in the team standings.

Wick, a four-time NCAA All-American, finished the year 23-1 for a 133-22 career mark with 19 falls. Truax was 19-4 last season and takes a 64-25 career record into the 2022-23 season.

The last time Cal Poly had a pair of All-Americans was 10 years back in 2012 when Boris Novachkov placed third and Ryan DesRoches finished eighth. The 22nd-place team finish was the program's highest since 2010 when Cal Poly placed 18th.

At the Pac-12 Championships hosted by Arizona State, Wick captured the conference title at 165 while Lamer, Kemp and Truax earned second-place finishes.

Wick scored an 8-7 decision over Shane Griffith of Stanford for the crown, notching an escape with 41 seconds remaining and riding time that proved to be the difference as wick defeated the defending 165pound national champion for the third time in the 2021-22 season.

Lamer fell 11-5 to Kyle Parco of Arizona State in the 149-pound final. Lamer's five escapes were not enough as Parco notched four takedowns, an escape, a penalty point and riding time.

Kemp dropped a 4-3 decision to Tyler Eischens of Stanford in the 174-pound final.

Truax, the Pac-12 champion at 174 pounds a year earlier, was pinned by Trey Munoz of Oregon State in the 184-pound final. Munoz scored a takedown 70 seconds into the match and pinned Truax shortly thereafter.

Truax defeated Munoz in an 11-2 major decision for the Pac-12 title at 174 a year earlier while Munoz was wrestling for Arizona State. Truax also beat Munoz 3-1 in the Matmen Open and 5-2 in the dual meet earlier in the 2021-22 season.

Season in review

No Mustangs reached the consolation finals for third and fourth place. Finishing fifth were Lorenzo at 125, Lawrence Saenz at 141, Brawley Lamer at 157 and Trent Tracy at 197. All return for the 202223 season.

Cal Poly was ranked 10th nationally by InterMat the week prior to the Pac-12 Championships. Last time the Mustangs were ranked that high was during the 1982-83 season when Cal Poly also was ranked No. 10.

Cal Poly's highest team Division I ranking ever was No. 3 on March 3, 1971.

The Mustangs won four of their seven dual meets last year, marking the first time since the 2010-11 campaign that Cal Poly had a winning dual meet record.

Cal Poly's wins during the dual meet portion of the schedule were against Northern Illinois, Little Rock, Air Force and CSU Bakersfield. The triumph over Air Force was Cal Poly's first in eight tries. Technical falls by Wick and Truax helped the Mustangs build a 21-12 lead over CSU Bakersfield.

Wick earned first-place finishes in the Michigan State Invitational and Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational while Truax was second in the Michigan State event and third at the Matmen Open. Lorenzo placed third at the Matmen Open and fifth in Las Vegas while Kemp was third at Michigan State and sixth in Las Vegas. Lamer was sixth at Michigan State and seventh in the Las Vegas Invitational.

Wick and Truax both compiled 7-0 dual meet records while Lorenzo and Lamer each won seven of nine matches. Saenz was 6-2 and Kemp posted a 4-1 mark.

In duals, Wick edged Lorenzo, 26-25, for the team lead in takedowns while Brawley Lamer's 12 escapes were No. 1. Legend Lamer notched seven four-point near falls and four two-point near falls for the team lead in both categories.

Kemp and Saenz transferred to Cal Poly two years ago after Fresno

Evan Wick closed out his collegiate career with his fourth NCAA All-American honor after placing third at 165 pounds.

State dropped its wrestling program. Wick wrestled his final collegiate season at Cal Poly after four successful campaigns, including a redshirt year, at Wisconsin, and now is a Mustang assistant coach.

The 2022-23 Mustang roster has been bolstered by the additions of another Wisconsin transfer, Ethan Rotondo, and Oklahoma transfer Dom Demas.

Victor Glover: Astronaut and Former Cal Poly Wrestler

In the fall of 2020, Victor Glover traveled in space for the first time, seven years after he and seven others were named to NASA's 21st astronaut class.

In mid-November, the 1999 Cal Poly graduate in general engineering and former Mustang wrestler joined three other astronauts -- NASA's Mike Hopkins and Shannon Walker and the Japanese Space Agency's Soichi Noguchi -- in a six-month journey on the International Space Station, conducting research and performing other tasks.

Launch of the SpaceX Crew Dragon aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral took place on Nov. 15, 2020, and he returned to earth in May 2021.

A Cal Poly-trained engineer and active-duty Navy aviator, Glover is the fourth Cal Poly graduate to serve as a NASA astronaut, joining Robert L. "Hoot" Gibson (B.S., Aerospace Engineering, 1969), Greg Chamitoff (B.S., Electrical Engineering, 1984) and Frederick "Rick" Sturckow (B.S., Mechanical Engineering, 1984).

Glover is serving as the pilot of the SpaceX Crew Dragon. A Mustang wrestler in the mid-1990s, Glover spoke at the university's Spanos Theatre in July 2015. Glover discussed the benefits of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education as part of Cal Poly's Engineering Possibilities in College summer camp. He returned to campus in April 2022 with souvenirs from his trip into space.

The Navy lieutenant commander was among eight candidates named to NASA's 21st astronaut class in 2013 while

serving as a legislative fellow in the United States Senate.

Glover was selected from the second largest number of applications NASA had ever received — more than 6,100. His class received a wide array of technical training at space centers around the globe in preparation for missions to low-Earth orbit, an asteroid and Mars.

The California native holds a Master of Science in flight test engineering, a Master of Science in systems engineering and a Master of Military Operational Art and Science. Glover is a Naval Aviator and was a test pilot in the F/A-18 Hornet, Super Hornet and EA‐18G Growler.

Though an engineering graduate, Glover also credits his role as a member of the Cal Poly wrestling team during the 1994-95 season with helping prepare him for work as an astronaut.

"Wrestling was one of the most indelible influences in my life," he said. "Someone asks me about being in the pool at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory and doing the EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity) training. I compare it to wrestling and how you have to be able to think in 3-D and think moves ahead if you want to go from good to great.

"Wrestling had just as much of an impact on me as the things I was learning in the lab or in engineering."

Glover currently serves on the Cal Poly College of Engineering Advancement and Advisory Board and the Cal Poly Athletic Directors Council.

In November 2018, Glover was presented the Sandra Gardebring Ogren Leadership Award.

Former Mustang wrestler Victor Glover, a member of NASA’s 21st astronaut class, completed a sixmonth mission to the International Space Station in May 2021.

The Cal Poly wrestling program has produced two Olympians.

Pat Lovell qualified for the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo in the light heavyweight division of Greco-Roman wrestling. A Mustang wrestler in the late 1950s, Lovell has been inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, the California Wrestling Hall of Fame and, in 1989, the Cal Poly Athletics Hall of Fame.

Lovell, who split his two matches in Tokyo, passed away in Santa Cruz, Calif., on Nov. 29, 2018, at age 81 after a long coaching and administrative career.

Second Mustang wrestling Olympian is Boris Novachkov, who completed in freestyle wrestling at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Competing for his native Bulgaria, Novachkov split his two matches in his first Olympic appearance.

At Carioca Arena 2, Novachkov opened his bid for the 65-kilogram (143-pound) freestyle title with a 10-7 triumph over Meysam Nasiri of Iran. Novachkov jumped to a 4-0 lead in the first period and scored a pair of misdirection takedowns in the second period en route to the win.

In the Round of 16. Novachkov fell 7-4 to Franklin Gomez of Puerto Rico. Novachkov trailed 1-0 after the first period but scored two takedowns in the second period for a 4-1 lead. Gomez, however, rallied late with six unanswered points — a takedown, turn and double — for the victory.

Gomez, who like Novachkov has dual citizenship and was an NCAA national champion at Michigan State, lost in the quarterfinal round, eliminating Novachkov from competition. He finished eighth in the field of 21 wrestlers.

To earn his spot in the Olympics, Novachkov earned a gold medal at the Last Chance Olympic Qualifier at the Bagcilar Sports Complex in

Istanbul, Turkey, in May.

On the way to the gold medal, Novachkov defeated 2012 NCAA national champion and four-time NCAA All-American Frank Molinaro of Penn State 5-2 in the quarterfinals.

Novachkov, who holds dual citizenship in Bulgaria and the United States, trained at the University of Illinois under former Cal Poly assistant coach Mark Perry.

Novachkov was Cal Poly's first three-time NCAA Division I All-American with his thirdplace finish in the 2012 NCAA National Championships at 141 pounds. He was runner-up in 2011 and placed seventh at 133 pounds as a sophomore in 2010.

During his four years as a Mustang, Novachkov posted a 121-33 record and was a two-time Pac-12 champion in 2010 and 2011. He was also named Cal Poly's Male Athlete of the Year for the 2011-12 school year and shared the Mustang's Most Outstanding Wrestler Award.

A 2007 graduate of Fremont High School in Sunnyvale, Calif., Novachkov was a two-time state champion, once at 103 pounds (2006) and once at 125 (2007). He compiled a career record of 145-21 as a prep, including a 90-3 record spanning 2006 to 2007. Novachkov also was a two-time National Freestyle champion and two-time Greco-Roman National champion.

In April 2016, two-time NCAA All-American Chase Pami, another former Mustang wrestler, finished third at 65 kg in the U.S. Last Chance Olympic Qualifier held in Des Moines, Iowa.

Former Cal Poly wrestling coach John Azevedo, a graduate of CSU Bakersfield, qualified for the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. The United States boycotted those Games and Azevedo did not get a chance to compete.

Mustang Runners–up at NCAA Championships

Chad Mendes, 2008

Chad Mendes completed one of the most storied seasons by a Cal Poly wrestler in the program’s history in 2008, tallying a 30-0 record before dropping a 5-2 decision to Ohio State’s J Jaggers in the NCAA Championship bout at 141 pounds.

Mendes will be remembered as one of the all-time greats to walk the halls of Mott Athletics Center. The Hanford, Calif., native recorded seven falls, eight major decisions and one technical fall in 2008. He pinned Paul Moseman of CSU Bakersfield in just 13 seconds at the Fullerton Open and wooed a large crowd at Cal Poly by pinning the No. 2-ranked 141-pounder in the nation, Minnesota’s Manuel Rivera, in 1 minute, 34 seconds. At the NCAA Championships, Mendes won his first match by fall in just 34 seconds.

Among his many accomplishments, Mendes won a Pac-12 title in 2008 and was also named the conference’s Wrestler of the Year. He also won tournament titles at the Michigan State Open and Fullerton Open and became the eighth wrestler in program history to navigate an undefeated dual slate.

Mendes finished his career with an impressive 64-14 record. He was an All-American at 125 pounds with a sixth-place finish in 2006 before bulking up to 141 for

Chase Pami, 2010

Cal Poly’s Chase Pami became the sixth NCAA Division I runner-up in Mustang wrestling history in March 2010. Trying to become the third Division I national champion, Pami led 2-1 early in the first period, but eventually fell 6-4 to top-seeded and four-time NCAA AllAmerican J.P. O'Connor of Harvard in the 157-pound final at the Qwest Center Omaha.

Pami closed out his Cal Poly career with a 29-7 record as a senior and a 100-35 career mark.

Pami, the lowest seeded wrestler in the championship finals, tried to become the first Cal Poly wrestler to capture a Division I national title since Mark DiGirolamo accomplished the feat in 1976. Tom Kline won in 1969. Pami earned his 100th career win in the semifinals with a 13-5 major decision against Justin Lister of Binghamton.

Pami placed seventh in the 2009 NCAA meet.

Pami also joins Kline (1968), John Woods (1969), Cliff Hatch (1975), Montano (1983) and Chad Mendes (2008) as the only Mustangs to earn second-place finishes at the Division I nationals.

his senior year in the 2007-08 season.

On Jan. 15, 2008, Mendes became the first Cal Poly wrestler to earn a No. 1 ranking by pollsters since Scott Heaton and Rick Worel did so together in 1980.

After graduating from Cal Poly in the spring of 2008, Mendes embarked upon a professional fighting career with the Palace Fighting Championship circuit. After winning all five fights, he signed with the WEC (World Extreme Cagefighting) in October 2009, posting a 4-0 mark before the WEC merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2010.

Following a loss to Alexander Volkanovski on Dec. 29, 2018 at UFC 232, Mendes retired from the sport with a 9-5 record in the UFC, 18-5 overall. His only other losses were to UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo in January 2012 and October 2014, to Conor McGregor of Ireland in 2015 and to Frankie Edgar, also in 2015.

“It was a great opportunity and a great honor to be competing in the UFC,” said Mendes. “This is where I’ve always wanted to fight and it was awesome to be a part of such a huge organization.”

Mendes signed with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in August 2021, but announced his retirement from competition three months later.

Pami captured back-to-back Pac-12 titles at 157 pounds in 2008 and 2009. He was an NCAA qualifier all four seasons at Cal Poly, finishing 27-9 as a junior, 24-6 as a sophomore and 20-13 as a freshman.

He was a two-time Nevada state champion and fourtime high school All-American while wrestling at Cimarron Memorial High School in Las Vegas. He was 185-14 in his prep career. In December 2011, Pami qualified for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, which were held in April 2012 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa. Pami placed fourth at the Trials.

Pami, who has trained at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., recently finished third at the U.S. Open Freestyle Championships at 70kg and won gold at the Paris International in January 2017 before retiring from competition in early 2019. He was a volunteer assistant coach at Air Force for the 2015-16 season and served three seasons in the same capacity at Penn while also serving as a coach for Pennsylvania RTC. He currently owns Gold Rush Wrestling in Las Vegas.

Boris Novachkov, 2011

In 2011, for the third time in four years, a Cal Poly wrestler captured second place in the NCAA Division I National Championships. At Philadelphia, junior Boris Novachkov, seeded third, won four matches to reach the 141-pound final, but for the second time in the 2010-11 season, he dropped a 3-2 decision to Kellen Russell of Michigan. Those were Novachkov’s only losses against 31 victories that season.

Novachkov, who placed seventh at 133 pounds and earned NCAA All-American honors a year earlier, earned a 6-1 decision over Buffalo sophomore Andrew Schutt, followed by a 4-2 decision over Matthew Bonson of Lock Haven on the first day of competition at the nationals. The next day, he shut out No. 6 Andrew Alton of Penn State 2-0 in the quarterfinals and earned a 9-3 victory over second-seeded Michael Thorn of Minnesota in the semifinals.

In 2012, Novachkov became the first four-time Division I national qualifier at Cal Poly and first threetime All-American, placing third at 141 pounds in St. Louis. The two-time Pac-12 champion finished his Mustang career with a 121-23 record.

A graduate of Fremont High School in Sunnyvale, Novachkov went 4-2 in the 2010 nationals, with both losses decided in overtime. Prior to the 2011 nationals, he won the Fullerton Open as well as the Mid-lands and placed second at the Las Vegas Invitational.

Four of his wins in the 2010-11 season were by fall and Novachkov also won four matches by technical fall and five by major decision. He posted a spotless 11-0 record in dual meets and was 10-2 against nationally ranked wrestlers.

Novachkov was 13-0 in duals and 34-4 overall as a senior with four falls. He placed first in the Cowboy Open and Reno Tournament of Champions.

He has trained with the Titan Mercury Wrestling Club and at Stanford at the California Regional Training Center. Novachkov wrestles for his native Bulgaria, competed in the 2015 World Champ-ionships in Las Vegas and qualified for the 2016 Olympics in May 2016 (see previous page). He lost his only match as a member of Bellator MMA in 2019 and, together with his brother Filip, runs Bulgarian Muscle, which provides wrestling training and medical services.

CAL POLY WRESTLING SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The Cal Poly wrestling program officially launched its scholarship fund campaign in 2017.

The Wrestling Scholarship Fund provides Cal Poly wrestling with additional scholarship support to reach the goal of becoming a fully-funded program per NCAA regulations. Scholarship gifts require a fiveyear commitment to the specified amount, and can be used by the coaching staff immediately for recruitment and retention needs.

"Over the first few months with a soft launch of this campaign, we received $150,000 in total commitments toward our scholarship fund," head coach Jon Sioredas said. "This shows the excitement level from our alumni and supporters."

For more on the Cal Poly Wrestling Scholarship Fund and other ways to get involved, go to the Mustang Wrestling Foundation website at:

gopoly.com/MWF.

"We would like to thank the Mustang Wrestling Foundation for its continued commitment to advancing our program," Sioredas said. "They have been a driving force in the quest to bring the Cal Poly wrestling program back to the national spotlight.

"And, a special thanks to president Bob Whitaker ('73) and our board members Ken Bos ('69), Jon Talbott ('73), Scott Heaton ('81), Jeff Barksdale ('83), Anthony Romero ('90), Joe Dansby ('94), Dan Lashley ('95), Kelan Bragg ('12), and Kyle Chené ('14) for their efforts in securing commitments to the fund," Sioredas added.

All gifts toward the Wrestling Scholarship Fund are fully tax deductible through the Cal Poly Foundation. Those interested in making a gift should contact Sioredas at jsioreda@calpoly.edu or 805-756-1348.

IN MEMORIAM: VAUGHAN HITCHCOCK

Vaughan Hitchcock, who coached the Cal Poly wrestling program to eight NCAA Division II national championships in the late 1960s and early 1970s during a 23-year coaching career with the Mustangs, died Sept. 30, 2018, in San Luis Obispo, Calif.

Hitchcock was 84.

Hitchcock compiled a 355-112-4 record from 1962 through 1985 at Cal Poly, including a streak of over 150 consecutive victories against California opponents.

"Hitch was obviously an outstanding coach and was like a father to most of us during our wrestling days," said Lennis Cowell, who succeeded Hitchcock as head coach at Cal Poly. "He definitely had a tremendous influence on our lives. He will long be remembered."

"Great memories with Coach and Cal Poly," added Larry Morgan, an NCAA Division II national champion in 1973 and three-time Division I qualifier, finishing fifth in 1972 for All-American honors. "He was a very positive influence on many young athletes."

"I am sad, he was a giant of a man," said Ken Bos, who placed first and third in the NCAA Division II National Championships and was a two-time Division I qualifier, placing fourth in 1969. "He represented California and West Coast wrestling at a time when we were emerging as a national power.

"I was pretty tight with the guy. I wrestled for him three years and worked at his camp for almost 20 years," Bos added. "He had an impact on a lot of guys. About 66 of his former wrestlers have coached in California, Nevada and Arizona. Quite profound."

"Very sad. He was like a father to me when I really needed it," added John Woods, first- and second-place finisher in the Division II nationals and a two-time Division I qualifier and secondplace finisher in 1969.

"I most remember Coach Hitchcock as a tough

and intense competitor, but what impressed me about him were the times when kindness, compassion, and thoughtfulness showed through his hard exterior," said Scott Heaton, a four-time Division I national qualifier and third-place finisher in 1978. "I will miss him as a mentor and a friend."

After Cal Poly won eight NCAA Division II titles, including seven straight from 1968 through 1974, Hitchcock guided Cal Poly in its elevation of the wrestling program to Division I in time for the 1974-75 season.

Seven of his teams finished among the top ten teams nationally in the NCAA I Nationals.

Hitchcock's wrestlers won 18 NCAA Division II national championships and earned AllAmerican honors 67 times. At the Division I level, two Mustangs claimed national titles and 22 earned All-American honors. Twice Hitchcock was named NCAA Division II Wrestling Coach of the Year.

Born Jan. 1, 1934, Hitchcock (middle of front row, surrounded by 11 of his former wrestlers in photo at left taken during Scott Heaton's induction into the California Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2015) was an outstanding football player and three-time Northern California wrestling champion at Hayward High School, where he posted a 101-2-0 career mark.

He went on to excel in both sports at Washington State in the mid-1950s. In wrestling, he was 97-4 overall with two Pacific Coast Intercollegiate titles while, in football, the fullback, guard and linebacker was selected to play in the 1956 East-West Shrine Classic. He was named Washington State's Athlete of the Year in 1956 and the football team's Player of the Year in 1955, also earning All-Pacific Coast honors.

Hitchcock coached high school wrestling at Castro Valley and Hayward high schools, posting a combined record of 72-1, winning five league championships, four CIF Section

Championships, two Northern California Invitational team titles and the 1959 state championship while at Castro Valley. He also coached football to a 16-7-1 record while at Hayward.

Hitchcock served the NCAA Division II and the sport of wrestling in many leadership capacities and coached Team USA in numerous international competitions. He was team leader of the 1976 USA Olympic Greco-Roman team and team leader and coach of the 1979 USA Freestyle Team.

Hitchcock was inducted into the Helms Amateur Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1994, the NCAA Division II Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1998 and the California Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2000. He received the National Wrestling Hall of Fame's "Lifetime to Service Award" in 2002.

He launched the Vaughan Hitchcock Wrestling Camp in 1967 and managed the annual camp until 2001.

Hitchcock is survived by his wife Patricia and four children, sons Terry and Steve and daughters Pamela and Tracy. Steve Hitchcock was a two-time NCAA Division I national qualifier in 1975 and 1976 while wrestling at Cal Poly.

Cal Poly announced the signings of four wrestlers to the National Letter of Intent in November 2022, including a third member of the Lamer family.

Daschle Lamer, a threetime Oregon high school state champion in the 5A Division, signed Nov. 9, joining two of his brothers, Brawley and Legend. Brawley is a graduate student competing in his sixth year with 48 wins while Legend is a redshirt sophomore and two-time national qualifier with 40 wins.

Daschle, a senior at Crescent Valley High School, won a state title at 120 pounds as a freshman in 2020, at 152 as a sophomore in 2021 and at 170 as a junior last year, a season in which he also placed first in the Mike Clock Open and Reser's Tournament of Champions.

Lamer also finished second at Fargo in cadet freestyle in 2021 and was a Super 32 finalist.

The other three signees are from California high schools.

Gavin Fernandez placed fourth in the California state high school finals at 152 pounds last year. The De La Salle High School senior also was a state meet qualifier at 132 in 2020 after a sixth-place finish in the CIF-North Coast Section finals.

Hodges placed seventh in the state finals at 182 pounds last winter after a seventh-place finish in the Doc Buchanan Invitational and competed in the Super 32 at Greensboro, N.C. last month, reaching the Round of 16.

Limon, who will wrestle at 285 at Cal Poly, missed most of his junior season due to injury. Prior to COVID in March 2020, Limon placed first at the 2020 SCWAY Grade State Championship in both the freshmen 285 and sophomore 285 divisions. At the 2020 Freakshow, he placed third in the 18and-under division and fourth in the 18-and-under Elite division, earning the Freakshow All American Award.

Ty Hodges and Zach Limon both are seniors at Clovis High School.

Youthful Mustangs Continue to Improve

Armed with seven nationally ranked wrestlers for the first time in 40 years, the Cal Poly wrestling team opened a highly anticipated 2022-23 season Nov. 5 with a non-conference dual meet at California Baptist.

Last year's Mustang squad produced a 22ndplace NCAA finish, the program's highest national placing in 12 years and its second straight top-25 finish, with a pair of AllAmericans for the first time in 10 years as Evan Wick placed third at 165 pounds and Bernie Truax earned his second straight fourth-place finish.

Wick has completed his collegiate eligibility and is now serving as an assistant coach with the Mustangs, but Truax headlines a strong nucleus of returnees with 64 career wins and a No. 5 national ranking by InterMat. Now a junior, Truax will move up to 197 pounds this season, his fifth weight class in four years at Cal Poly.

"It is always exciting to begin a new year, with a fresh start, to see where we are at," said seventh-year Mustang head coach Jon Sioredas. "We did graduate Evan Wick, who is now on staff, but return the majority of our team with the addition of two grad transfers and a star freshman coming out of redshirt.

"We have had fantastic training in our offseason and cannot wait to compete," Sioredas added.

Also returning are No. 19 Adam Kemp at 184 pounds, No. 24 Legend Lamer at 165, No. 29 Lawrence Saenz at 141 and No. 31 Antonio Lorenzo at 125. Kemp, Lamer and Lorenzo also were national qualifiers a year ago while Saenz qualified for the NCAAs as a redshirt freshman at Fresno State.

Luka Wick, a younger brother of Evan Wick who was 12-0 with eight falls in three open tournaments as a redshirt a year ago, winning two titles and finishing second in the other

event, is ranked 29th at 157 pounds.

And Cal Poly also added Dom Demas of Oklahoma to the roster during the offseason. Ranked No. 13 at 149, Demas was 78-21 in five seasons with the Sooners, including a fourth-place finish in the NCAAs as a freshman, and transferred to Cal Poly to pursue a master's degree in business analytics.

Stepping in at the three other weight classes are Ethan Rotondo, a transfer from Wisconsin, at 133 pounds, Brawley Lamer or Jarad Priest at 174 and Trevor Tinker at 285.

Rotondo was 61-38 with the Badgers and transferred to Cal Poly to pursue a master's degree in packaging value chain. Lamer, who has earned 48 wins at Cal Poly, graduated last spring and is pursuing his MBA degree while the 6-foot-7 Tinker was 8-4 in open tournaments during his redshirt year.

Cal Poly enters the year ranked No. 24 in the National Wrestling Coaches Association poll.

"Our goals remain the same -- continuous improvement," said Sioredas. "We have been able to continually build successful teams with our core value based leadership model because our studentathletes understand our purpose and mission here at Cal Poly."

Comments from Sioredas on each weight class entering the season:

125: NCAA qualifier Antonio Lorenzo begins his sophomore campaign and continues to progress nicely.

133: Sixth-year grad transfer Ethan

Rotondo has wins over multiple AllAmericans and has grown tremendously since his arrival on campus over the summer.

141: NCAA qualifier Lawrence Saenz, now a junior, is healthy and has made significant improvements over the offseason.

149: Two-time All-American and five-time World Team member Dom Demas, a transfer from Oklahoma, will look to make a splash at his new weight class.

157: Redshirt freshman Luka Wick, one of the highest-ranked recruits to choose Cal Poly, is coming off an undefeated freshman redshirt campaign.

165: Two-time NCAA qualifier Legend Lamer is now up two weight classes for his junior season and has improved immensely over the summer.

174: Sixth-year super senior Brawley Lamer, redshirt freshman Jarad Priest, redshirt freshman Kendall La Rosa and senior Nathan Tausch will all battle it out for the 174 spot this season. All four student-athletes have been training at a high level and look to make an impact on the national stage.

184: NCAA qualifier Adam Kemp is also up a weight class for his junior year after advancing to day two of the NCAA Championships last season.

197: Two-time All-American Bernie Truax, a junior, is now in is fifth weight class in four years after back-to-back fourth-place finishes at the NCAAs.

285: Trevor Tinker has gained a tremendous amount of muscle in the offseason and continues to develop in his wrestling talents as he begins his redshirt freshman campaign.

Legend Lamer seeks a third trip to the NCAA finals and first All-American award.

Bernie Truax’s third trip to the nationals resulted in a second fourth-place finish.

Cal Poly competed in the NCAA Division I West Regional from 1974-85, the Pacific Coast Athletic Association in the 1985-86 season and the Pacific-12 Conference from 1986 to the present.

Iceman: My Fighting Life

Chuck Liddell ranks as one of, if not the, most famous Cal Poly graduates in the school’s history. For two years Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell reigned as the UFC light heavyweight champion, but before that, Liddell starred in Mott Athletics Center as a 190pound wrestler.

Liddell released a book that chronicles his life as a fighter. Iceman: My Fighting Life debuted on February 17, 2008, and spent multiple weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list.

Liddell started training for his career at the age of 12 in Santa Barbara. He was a four-year starter on the football team at San Marcos High School, and became a Division I wrestler at Cal Poly in 1988. After spending five years on the wrestling squad, Liddell would complete his degree while pursuing a career as a professional fighter, graduating in 1995 with a B.A.in business. As a graduation gift to himself, he had his iconic tattoo inked on his scalp which reads “Koei-Kan” (“prosper with happiness.”) He would then transition to mixed martial artist when he earned a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under John Lewis, ultimately aiming for a career that would take his fame and fortune to a new level.

Liddell made his UFC debut in 1998 with a decision victory over Noe Hernandez. He soon established his reputation as a devastating striker with victories over Tito Ortiz, Renato Sobral and Wanderlei Silva over the next few years. On May 26, 2004, he knocked out Randy Couture in two minutes to win the Light Heavyweight Title. He defended his titles successfully five

times, all ending with either a knockout or a TKO. He surrendered his belt after losing in a matchup with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, three years to the day of being crowned champion.

Liddell came out of retirement in 2018 to fight Ortiz once more and, on Nov. 24 in Inglewood, was defeated in a first-round knockout (4:24).

Despite his busy schedule as a fighter and a worldrenowned celebrity, Liddell still takes time to remember his roots as a Cal Poly Mustang. Liddell can often be seen matside at Cal Poly matches and is an avid fan of the team. He was inducted into the Cal Poly Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009.

Chuck Liddell “faces off” with Cal Poly 197-pound wrestler Ryan Smith during a practice session in 2008.

2023 Mustang Wrestling Camp

At Camp San Luis Obispo

Week 1: June 25-29, 2023

Week 2: July 2-6, 2023

MustangWrestlingCamp.com

The 10th annual Mustang Wrestling Camp will take place in June and July at Camp San Luis Obispo just outside San Luis Obispo on the central coast of California.

This is a great opportunity for the wrestler in your family to spend time learning the sport of wrestling while parents can spend time at the beach, shopping, wine tasting or enjoying any of the area’s outstanding restaurants and other attractions. If you are a central coast wrestler, this is a chance to attend an outstanding wrestling camp without paying the additional costs for travel and lodging.

For the third time, a technique camp ($675 residential, $525 commuter), a girls wrestling camp ($675 residential, $525 commuter) and a beginner wrestling camp ($395) will be offered.

The camp has sold out each of the last six years, so we encourage everyone to register and make the deposit as soon as possible to reserve your spot. Two sessions will be offered in 2023. Go to MustangWrestlingCamp.com to sign up.

This is Cal Poly

ocated in the central California coastal town of San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly comprises one of 23 campuses in the California State University, the nation’s largest four-year undergraduate university system. Each CSU campus is given considerable freedom to develop its programs and each institution boasts its own qualities and strengths.

Cal Poly’s Learn by Doing principle of instruction prepares undergraduates for careers in applied technical and professional fields. From computers to crops, Cal Poly holds that the best preparation for any endeavor is derived through practical application. This ideal has set Cal Poly apart from other schools and been the school’s driving philosophy since its 1901 founding. Courses at Cal Poly emphasize a high proportion of lab work, fieldwork and special assignments, culminating with a senior project. Unique oncampus opportunities – such as an organic farm and a student-run daily newspaper and majors of study ranging from aerospace engineering to wine and viticulture – make hands-on learning a daily reality at Cal Poly. In total, Cal Poly confers bachelor's degrees in 66 separate areas of study (37 master’s programs). Nine of those degrees are exclusive to the San Luis Obispo campus (see next page).

For 28 consecutive years, U.S. News and World Report has ranked Cal Poly as the top public master’s university in the western U.S. The publication also ranked Cal Poly’s computer and civil engineering programs No. 2 nationwide, College of Engineering as No. 7 and aerospace, electrical and mechanical engineering each No. 3.

On-campus activities are headquartered at the renown University Union and Cal Poly’s student-run activities have earned enviable reputations across the nation. Week of Welcome offers first-quarter students a successful introduction to the collegiate experience through a team of trained student leaders and university officials, all of whom provide academic and social resources, encourage awareness and promote relationships with the campus and Central Coast community.

Athletically, Cal Poly boasts one of the most successful Division I programs for an institution of its size. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, during the 2020-21 academic year, the athletics department – which sponsors 21 varsity programs – saw the women’s track and field, women’s golf and beach volleyball teams advance to the NCAA regionals and capture Big West titles as well. The women's track and field squad earned its first-ever Big West team championship, 32 points ahead of runner-up Cal State Fullerton.

During the 2021-22 academic year, the women’s golf and women’s beach volleyball teams both captured Big West titles. All-American honors were earned by baseball shortstop Brooks Lee and pitcher Drew Thorpe, wrestlers Evan Wick (third at 165 pounds) and Bernie Truax (fourth at 184 pounds) and beach volleyball standouts Emily Sonny and Macy Gordon. Baseball pitchers Drew Thorpe, Derek True and Jason Franks along with Lee were drafted and signed by Major League teams. Named Big West athletes of the year were Brooks Lee (baseball) and Kaylyn Noh (women’s golf). Big West coaches of the year include Sofie Aagaard (women’s golf) and Todd Rogers (women’s beach volleyball).

As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academic integrity, a record 158 Mustangs collected conference all-academic praise during the 2021-22 school year.

Internationally, Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by former Mustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the discus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete. Day (heptathlon) and Brown Trafton (discus) also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Wrestler Boris Novachkov qualified for the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro in 65-kilogram (143-pound) freestyle competition while softball pitcher Sierra Hyland (Team Mexico) and baseball pitcher Joey Wagman (Team Israel) represented Cal Poly in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

“For more than a generation, we have taken pride in being recognized as one of the best universities in the nation,” said university President Jeffrey D. Armstrong. “Our goal is to produce the next generation of industry innovators and future leaders who, through Learn by Doing, graduate ready to contribute in their careers from Day One.

In the 1890s, when a proposal for a teacher training school in San Luis Obispo seemed unlikely to succeed, California State Senator Sylvester C. Smith instead suggested a polytechnic institute. Myron Angel, chronicler of San Luis Obispo County history, became an ardent supporter of the idea and articulated a vision to establish a school that would “teach the hand as well as the head.” The plan succeeded and on March 8, 1901, legislation was signed founding the California Polytechnic School, then a vocational high school.

During the ensuing three decades, Cal Poly evolved into the modern equivalent of a junior college, but its future became uncertain. In 1933, however, Julian A. McPhee, chief of the California Bureau of Agricultural Education, saved the institution from abolishment by agreeing to become school president. During the next 33 years, McPhee guided Cal Poly’s transformation into a four-year institution and set an educational standard still emulated today.

Cal Poly’s first baccalaureate exercises were held in May 1942 and in 1947, the institution was officially renamed California State Polytechnic College. As programs continued to evolve, the institution became California Polytechnic State University in 1972.

The Learn by Doing ethos continues to inform the paths Cal Poly’s alumni pursue, and they keep the friendships they start here. They also learn by succeeding. Median starting salary for recent graduates was $60,900 (beating all other CSU and UC campuses) and mid-career salaries for Cal Poly alumni are better than all UC and CSU campuses except UC Berkeley and UC San Diego -- and better than many private universities. More than half of Cal Poly seniors have a job offer in hand before they graduate -- even in today’s difficult economy.

PRESIDENT JEFFREY D. ARMSTRONG

Jeffrey D. Armstrong began his tenure as Cal Poly's ninth permanent president on February 1, 2011, with a determination to enhance the University's renowned Learn by Doing teaching approach.

Dr. Armstrong brings to Cal Poly a blend of experience as an honored teacher, respected researcher, and experienced administrator. At Cal Poly, he has focused on ways to improve graduation rates. To further bolster student success, he has sought to expand university-industry partnerships to attract more applied research to the campus, thus increasing professional development experiences for faculty in order to enrich classroom instruction.

As a first-generation college graduate, Dr. Armstrong is particularly passionate about nurturing a campus climate that embraces inclusion and diversity. "To succeed in our increasingly multicultural society," Dr. Armstrong says, "our students need to experience the world as it really is."

As a member of the Business-Higher Education Forum (BHEF) executive committee, Dr. Armstrong joins a dedicated coalition of senior business and higher education executives committed to advancing innovative solutions to U.S. education and workforce challenges.

Dr. Armstrong also served from 2011 to 2015 on the board of Aware Awake Alive, a national alcohol-awareness program created to educate young people on the symptoms of alcohol poisoning, create awareness on the conditions that enable it, and encourage responsibility for one another in situations where alcohol is consumed.

He participates in numerous California State University (CSU) committees, including the CSU Agricultural Advisory Committee, CSU Agricultural Research Initiative, CSU Water Resources and Policy Initiatives, CSU Technology Steering Committee, and CSU Council on Ocean Affairs, Science & Technology (COAST). Dr. Armstrong also is one of two CSU representatives on the Board of Directors of the California Council on Science and Technology.

Before joining Cal Poly, Dr. Armstrong served as dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and professor of Animal Science at Michigan State University (MSU), beginning in 2001. He was head of the Department of Animal Sciences at Purdue University from 1997 to 2001 and served in various positions at North Carolina State University (NCSU) from 1986 through 1997.

As a faculty member at NCSU, Armstrong was known for engaging students in the classroom and was awarded numerous honors for his teaching excellence. He also was named Alumni Distinguished Professor for Undergraduate Teaching.

A recognized leader in nutrition and reproduction in large food animals, Dr. Armstrong has helped raise more than $9 million in grants and cooperative agreements to support research on social responsibility in the food chain. He has written or contributed to more than 45 scientific journal articles.

Welcome to Cal Poly

At Cal Poly, the most important person on campus is the student.

We start with the premise that all of our students, because they have met Cal Poly's high standards for admission, are equipped to succeed. And then our dedicated faculty and staff bring to bear their enormous talent and unwavering commitment to students' success.

Central to this process is Cal Poly's distinctive Learn by Doing approach, in which we provide students with daily opportunities to apply classroom theory to realworld problems in the context of a comprehensive polytechnic education, grounded in the arts and sciences.

Learn by Doing enables students to develop deep confidence in their knowledge and technical skills, preparing them to become resourceful and innovative professionals who can help solve the problems of an increasingly complex and technological world. Highly motivated students, talented faculty, dedicated staff, and the dynamic nature of Learn by Doing - these are important facets of Cal Poly, but not the whole sum.

An exceptional university succeeds only if it has the full engagement of the entire university communitystudents, faculty and staff, parents, alumni and friendsone that joins together in a partnership of discovery.

Fortunately, Cal Poly has an abundance of people deeply committed to a vibrant partnership, and deeply committed to transforming lives, one student at a time. It is my great privilege to be associated with the people of Cal Poly, and I invite you to join our partnership.

Jeffrey D. Armstrong President

Over his career, he has served as chairman of the United Egg Producers Animal Welfare Advisory Committee and advised McDonald's Corp. on animal welfare and broader issues related to corporate social responsibility. He served as chairman of the Michigan Board of Agriculture Assembly Farm Bill Committee and, in 2009, contributed to significant changes in Congress' farm legislation. Dr. Armstrong also served on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research, Extension, Education and Economics Advisory Committee and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Seventh District Advisory Council.

Raised on a beef cattle, swine, and tobacco farm in Western Kentucky, Armstrong attended Murray State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in agriculture in 1981. He earned both a master's (1984) and doctorate (1986) in physiology from North Carolina State University.

He and his wife, Sharon, have two children. Jessica is a physician in obstetrics and gynecology and is married to Dean Gibbie, a realtor, and they have one son, Colton. Zack is a financial advisor in Lansing, Michigan.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DON OBERHELMAN

Donald J. Oberhelman was named Cal Poly’s Director of Athletics on March 17, 2011.

Oberhelman came to Cal Poly after serving as the Chief Operating Officer and Senior Associate Athletic Director at San Diego State University. In that capacity, he was responsible for the daily operations of San Diego State’s intercollegiate athletics program.

“Cal Poly has a great tradition of academic excellence and we want to continue to build on that tradition in everything we do,” Oberhelman said at the time of his hiring. “For many people, athletics is the first impression they have of the university. We must make sure these impressions are great ones."

Oberhelman has served in a number of NCAA and conference leadership roles, including The NCAA Division I Council. The 40-member Council is charged with managing the new governance structure, the many changes taking place in college athletics, and the day-to-day decision making for all of Division I. In April 2015, he was appointed by the NCAA to chair the newly formed NCAA Division I Legislative Committee to review legislation and communicate positions to the Division I Council. Oberhelman has served on many working groups for the NCAA, currently serving in a review of the future of amateurism within the collegiate model. He is a current member of the Executive Committee for the Big West Conference.

Oberhelman also serves on the Board of Directors for the Hearst Cancer Center.

The Mustang Way, the core values for the department, was developed under Oberhelman's leadership. These values were so well received that the university adopted much of them as their own in 2012, and The Mustang Way has since become an integral part of campus life at Cal Poly.

Cal Poly has recently seen many NCAA Division I 'firsts.' After a 20-year history in Division I, with Oberhelman at the helm the Mustangs experienced the first NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament appearance, the first Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament appearance, a No. 1 national ranking for baseball, first hosting of the NCAA Baseball Regionals, first Big Sky Conference football championship, and the best finish in the Big West Commissioner's Cup in school history with six championships in one season.

The Mustangs' most successful competitive Division I campaign may have been the 2013-14 season, but Oberhelman believes championships are not enough.

“We know our primary obligation is to develop our studentathletes," said Oberhelman. "I want us to be leaders in graduation rates as well as in championships."

Cal Poly President Jeffrey D. Armstrong echoed Oberhelman’s sentiments.

“Don’s goal is for all of our student-athletes to leave Cal Poly with a diploma and a championship ring,” Armstrong said. “That’s a great goal for our student-athletes and our

fans.”

Mustang athletics continues to be a leader in graduation rates, graduating student-athletes at a higher rate than the campus as a whole, the ultimate measure of academic success. For several years, the Mustangs received more NCAA Academic Achievement Awards than the rest of the Big West Conference combined, and half of all student-athletes maintain over a 3.0 GPA.

Facility improvements and renovations have been a priority under Oberhelman’s direction, with every venue, building, and stadium receiving upgrades. Private giving has gone up dramatically during his tenure, leading to these improvements as well as growth in financial aid and athletic support staff.

Prior to his tenure at San Diego State, Oberhelman served several roles at Southern Mississippi, the most recent as the senior associate athletic director (2002-07), education coordinator for athletics at Texas A&M (1998-2002) and as a compliance assistant at Florida State (1995-1998).

The native of rural Kansas earned his bachelor’s in business administration at Kansas State and his master’s in athletic administration at Florida State.

MUSTANG HEAD COACHES

ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE

Featuring 21 varsity programs, the Cal Poly Athletics Department is in its 29th year of NCAA Division I competition since completing reclassification in 1994. With the exception of football (Big Sky Conference), wrestling (Pac-12 Conference) and the men’s and women’s swimming and indoor track and field programs (Mountain Pacific Sports Federation), Cal Poly is also in its 27th year as a member of the Big West Conference. Among Big West institutions, only UC Davis (24 programs) boasts more athletic disciplines than Cal Poly.

Prior to transitioning to the Division I level, Cal Poly ranked as the most successful institution in the history of NCAA Division II athletics with 35 national team titles. Cal Poly has continued its winning tradition at the top flight with teams and individuals routinely earning conference championships and NCAA Tournament berths.

During the 2013-14 academic year, the athletics department -- which added beach volleyball in 2014 -- saw the men’s basketball, men’s tennis and baseball programs advance to the NCAA Championships while the women’s basketball squad earned a berth in the 2013 NCAA Championships. During the 2021-22 academic year, the women’s golf and women’s beach volleyball teams both captured Big West titles. All-American honors were earned by baseball shortstop Brooks Lee and pitcher Drew Thorpe, wrestlers Evan Wick (third at 165 pounds) and Bernie Truax (fourth at 184 pounds) and beach volleyball standouts Emily Sonny and Macy Gordon. Baseball pitchers Drew Thorpe, Derek True and Jason Franks along with shortstop Brooks Lee were drafted and signed by Major League teams. Named Big West athletes of the year were Brooks Lee (baseball) and Kaylyn Noh (women’s golf). Big West coaches of the year include Sofie Aagaard (women’s golf) and Todd Rogers (women’s beach volleyball).

As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academic integrity, a record 158 Mustangs collected conference allacademic praise during the 2021-22 school year.

Cal Poly athletes have consistently excelled outside the bounds of the collegiate arena. Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by former Mustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the discus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete. Day (heptathlon) and Brown Trafton (discus) also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London while wrestler Boris Novachkov earned a spot in the 2016 Summer Games at Rio de Janeiro. In the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, pitcher Joey Wagman played baseball for Team Israel while Sierra Hyland pitched for Team Mexico.

MUSTANGS EXCEL IN THE CLASSROOM

For more than 100 years, Cal Poly’s student-athletes have been dedicated to excellence in both the athletic and academic arenas. During the 2018-19 scholastic year alone, 118 Mustangs were named to conference all-academic teams. Since Cal Poly transitioned to the Division I level in 1994, the school has enjoyed 1,311 total all-conference academic selections –an average of 52 per year.

Taking pride in each student’s ability to excel both athletically and intellectually, Cal Poly and the athletics department offer guidance and support to each student-athlete during his or her tenure. To support these motives, the athletics department initiated the Academic Resource Center.

Opened in 2001, the center provides yearround academic support, tutoring, workshops and academic advising. Remodeled in the summer of 2017, the center has also developed study hall programs with biquarterly progress checks, weekly academic appointments and a first-year seminar class for incoming student-athletes.

In deference to the student-athlete’s need for class schedule flexibility, Cal Poly also offers in-season priority registration for two of the three quarters during which competition occurs.

Of the 66 major courses offered at Cal Poly, Mustang student-athletes were enrolled in 60 separate areas, as of the Spring 2021 term.

Other prominent post-Cal Poly examples include AllAmerican wide receiver Ramses Barden (2005-08), who was a third-round selection by the New York Giants in 2009 and played four years in the NFL. Former linebacker Chris Gocong (2002-05) – one of Cal Poly’s three Buck Buchanan Award winners as the Football Championship Subdivision’s top defensive player – made 35 starts in three active seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. Linebacker Nick Dzubnar currently is with the Tennessee Titans while wide receiver J.J. Koski is on the roster of the Los Angeles Rams.

Former men’s soccer midfielder Anton Peterlin is the only Big West player to have appeared in an English Football League match. Six former Mustangs -- Junior Burgos (Toronto FC), Patrick McLain (Chivas USA), Kip Colvey (San Jose Earthquakes), George Malki (Houston Dynamo), Ariel Lassiter (L.A. Galaxy) and Justin Dhillon (Seattle Sounders) — have played on Major League Soccer clubs. Mackenzie Pridham plays for Minnesota United FC of the North American Soccer League. Lassiter (Team USA) and Kip Colvey (New Zealand) have been named to national under-23 teams. As of June 2021, the Cal Poly baseball program produced 10 Major League players in the last 12 years with outfielder Mitch Haniger (Mariners), pitchers Spencer Howard (Rangers), Erich Uelmen (Cubs) and Justin Bruihl (Dodgers) and infielder Mark Mathias (Brewers) all playing games in the Major Leagues in 2022. Twelve other Mustangs were active professionally.

On Oct. 17, 2008, another sellout crowd of 11,075 supporters – then the thirdlargest regular season crowd figure in NCAA men’s soccer history – flooded Spanos Stadium for Cal Poly’s nationally-televised showdown against central coast rival UC Santa Barbara. During the 2009 season, the men’s soccer program ranked third among NCAA Division I programs by averaging 2,213 fans per home date.

Cal Poly’s volleyball, wrestling and basketball programs call the 3,032-seat Mott Athletics Center (right) home. A new $700,000 floor was installed during the summer of 2007 along with two videoboards ($750,000) prior to the 2014-15 campaign. During recent years, Mott has hosted the Pac-12 Conference Wrestling Championships and, in front of a sold-out audience, the first and seconds rounds of the 2006 NCAA Volleyball Tournament (also right). The men’s basketball program produced a trio of sellouts in 2016 as well as two more during the 2014-15 season and one against Big West champion UC Davis in February 2014. Additionally, the Mustang women’s basketball program drew a program-record 2,552 fans for a March 5, 2011 game against UC Santa Barbara.

Remodeled at a cost of more than $3 million, the Olympic-sized Anderson Aquatic Center (left) was completed in August 2009 and plays host to both Cal Poly’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs. Situated adjacent to the Mott Athletics Center, the pool measures 12,348 square feet. Eight 50-yard lanes highlight the complex, which also provides for a total of eighteen 25-yard cross course lanes. The complex also features a 15-by-30-foot all-shallow therapy pool. Anderson Aquatic Center held its first official event on Oct. 3, 2009, when the Mustang women’s swimming program welcomed thendefending national champion California to San Luis Obispo.

David Jack, Leonard Branzuela Score Falls in 27-12 Victory

David Jack, below, and Leonard Branzuela (inset at right) won by fall to lift Cal Poly to historic 27-12 upset of No. 1 Iowa in December 1979.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Forty years ago, on Dec. 8, 1979, Cal Poly set the collegiate wrestling world abuzz.

The University of Iowa, ranked No. 1 in the country and defending NCAA Division I national champion, arrived at Mott Athletics Center with a 34-match winning streak and a plethora of nationally ranked wrestlers coached by Dan Gable, the legendary Olympian.

Cal Poly, however, was not fazed that evening, as Leonard Branzuela and David Jack earned wins by fall and Gary Fischer, Scott Heaton and Rick Worel won by decisions in a 27-12 Mustang victory before

1,547 fans.

Gable, a two-time NCAA champion, world gold medalist and Olympic gold medalist, was 182-1 combined in his high school and University of Iowa careers. His only defeat came in the NCAA finals in his senior year.

Iowa would go on to claim the third of nine consecutive national team championships while injuries and illness to several key wrestlers kept Cal Poly from making a legitimate run at the title.

But on that night, 40 years ago today, Coach Vaughan Hitchcock's Mustangs parlayed three decisions, two falls and a forfeit into an historic victory.

Cal Poly, actually ranked No. 1 for a couple weeks that year, had a pair of top-ranked wrestlers in the lineup that evening -- Heaton at 167 pounds and Worel at 177.

with a fall in 6 minutes, 3 seconds, over Dean Phinney.

Cal Poly won the first two bouts of the dual meet and never looked back. Fischer was a 7-6 winner over Dan Glenn at 118 and Branzuela's fall in 3:31 over Jeff Kerber gave the Mustangs a 9-0 advantage.

Randy Fleury picked up the forfeit win at 150 and Cal Poly won three of the final five matches to win going away.

Fischer went on to finish fourth in the NCAA finals while Jeff Barksdale placed eighth at 142.

The 1979-80 Mustang team was honored during the Annual Alumni Weekend and Crab Feed on Jan. 17-18, 2020. Cal Poly wrestled Stanford on Jan. 17, with the crab feed held the next day inside the Recreation Center's Multi-Activity Center.

Scott Heaton, ranked No. 1 in the nation at 167 pounds, earned a 6-1 decision.

Heaton earned a 6-1 decision over Mark Stevenson and Worel was an 8-5 winner over Ed Banach, giving Cal Poly a 21-9 lead with two bouts remaining. After an Iowa win at 190, Jack put the exclamation point on the Mustang victory

Hitchcock, who passed away Sept. 30, 2018, at the age of 84, coached the Cal Poly wrestling program to eight NCAA Division II national titles in the late 1960s and early 1970s during a 23-year coaching career with the Mustangs. He compiled a 355-112-4 record from 1962 through 1985 at Cal Poly, including a streak of over 150 consecutive victories against California opponents.

A MUSTANG IS NEVER CONQUERED.
