EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern Wrestling and head coach Drew Pariano, coming off an 18-2 2010-11 dual season that produced three NCAA All-Americans, have announced plans for its 2011 team and individual camp season. Northwestern is hosting four different sessions on its Evanston campus, including team, intensive and technique camps as well as a commuter camp, new for 2011.
"The series of camps offered by Northwestern continues to provide an elite camp experience for wrestlers of all ages and skill levels," said head coach Drew Pariano. "For young wrestlers to learn from proven coaches like Tim Cysewski and Matt Storniolo as well as a three-time U.S. Open champion in Jake Herbert is just invaluable. We expect all four of our camps to attract some of the top wrestling talent in the area in 2011."

In Pariano's first season as head coach at Northwestern, the Wildcats posted one of their most successful dual seasons in school history with an 18-2 record and a stellar 6-2 mark in the Big Ten. NU then placed 13th at the NCAA Championships with a trio of All-Americans, including 125-pound third-place finisher and featured camp clinician Brandon Precin, a three-time All-American. Earning their first All-American honors were senior Andrew Nadhir (149) and sophomore Jason Welch (157).
Since 2006, Northwestern has produced a total of three NCAA champions, 14 All-Americans, 26 NCAA qualifiers and six Big Ten champions under the direction of Pariano, Cysewski and Storniolo. In addition to Precin, other former wrestlers on staff include two-time NCAA champ Jake Herbert and 2008 NCAA heavyweight champion Dustin Fox.
