2012-13 WRESTLING PROSPECTUS 

After tremendous season in 2011-12, Vikings look for more in 2012-13 

There is no hiding the optimism in Eric Juergens’ voice when he talks 

about his Augustana wrestling team’s chances for the 2012-13 season. 

Juergens, who is entering his sixth season as the Vikings head coach, has 

good reason to be excited as his team is coming off a tremendous 2011- 

12 campaign. 

“This could turn out to be a pretty good year,” said Juergens who has 

fashioned a 31-40 dual meet record in five years but has watched his Vikings 

go 20-10 over the past two seasons. “For the first time since I have 

been here every single wrestler in the room is somebody we recruited 

and that makes a huge difference. We are all on the same page as we 

continue to make progress.” 

There is no doubt that the Vikings have made progress during Juergens’ 

tenure. His first season was in 2007-08 and Augustana went 2-9 in dual 

meets and place fourth in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin 

and 12th in the NCAA Division III West Regional. Last year the Vikings 

were 11-4 in dual meets, took second in the CCIW with three individual 

champions and placed sixth in the West Regional. In addition, his team 

flirted with the top 25 in the NCAA Division III national rankings and came 

away with the program’s first All-American since 2003 when Jordan Richardson 

(Grandville HS, Wyoming, Mich.) placed eighth at 174 pounds. 

Heading into 2012-13, Juergens can point to 25 returning letter winners, 

seven of them starters, on his 37-man roster. 

“Our roster is bigger and that certainly helps with depth and competition 

in the room,” said Juergens who was a two-time NCAA Division I national 

champion at the University of Iowa. “I was a little surprised by our success 

last year and that is a tip of the hat to the kids on the team. They made 

that happen and are looking for more this season.” 

The Vikings recent success has caught the attention of the national scene 

as they are ranked 17th in the NCAA Division III pre-season national ranking 

according to the National Wrestling Coaches Association. 

WEIGHT CLASS BREAKDOWN 

125 – Junior Jacob Scholten (Rockford HS, Grandville, Mich.) is back in the 

mix after sitting out his sophomore season. He was the Vikings’ co-MVP as 

a freshman when he won the CCIW title at this weight class and posted a 

38-8 overall record. He won the NCAA Division III West Regional and his 

38 victories are tied for the 20th best single season mark in Augustana’s 

history. He will get backup help from a trio of talented freshmen: Anthony 

Desanto (St. Joseph HS, Westchester, Ill.), Austin Nusbaum (Sturgis HS, 

Sturgis, Mich.) and Jimmy Panozzo (Carl Sandburg HS, Orland Park, Ill.). 

133 – There will be two freshmen handling things at 133 with Cody Weitzel 

(Valor Christian HS, Littleton, Colo.) and Justin Smiley (Plainfield North 

HS, Plainfield, Ill.) currently battling for the starting position. 

141 – Freshman Isaiah Schaub (St. Francis HS, Traverse City, Mich.) is a 

guy who Juergens says “just goes and goes and goes” and he could end 

up with the starting spot at 141. Sophomores Hector Ruiz (Aurora East 

HS, Aurora, Ill.) and Zackary Wheeler (Seneca HS, Marseilles, Ill.) along 

with freshman Kadmiel Smith (Wilton HS, Wilton, Iowa) make this a fairly 

deep weight class. 

149 – Sophomore David Tessiatore (Downers Grove North HS, Downers 

Grove, Ill.) will move down from 157 pounds where he was 13-21 a year 

ago. Sophomore Walter Piech (Lincoln-Way East HS, Mokena, Ill.) was 

injured most of last year but he has great potential. Freshman Ben Deig 

(Limestone HS, Bartonville, Ill.) and sophomore Thomas Browne (Grayslake 

HS, Hainesville, Ill.), the regular at 125 a year ago, will be at this 

weight class as well. 

157 – There is plenty of talent at this weight class. Sophomore Alex Bowers 

(Noblesville HS, Noblesville, Ind.) was 9-9 a year ago and sophomore 

Kevin Sundberg (Paw Paw HS, Paw Paw, Mich.) finished 8-7. Sophomore 

Thomas Reyhons (Davenport Assumption HS, Davenport, Iowa) missed 

last year but could make some noise in 2012-13. Junior Mitch Musgrove 

(Orion HS, Andover, Ill.) posted a 7-8 mark as a sophomore and freshmen 

Seth Hardcastle (Arapahoe HS, Centennial, Colo.) and Khaled Almousa 

(Reavis HS, Burbank, Ill.) will provide plenty of depth. 

165 – Sophomores Connor Cummings (Downers Grove North HS, 

Woodridge, Ill.) and Torey Welch (Valor Christian HS, Littleton, Colo.) 

both saw significant action a year ago. Cummings was 8-10 while Welch 

finished 9-9. 

174 – Senior Matt Burns (Naperville Central HS, Naperville, Ill.) is coming 

off a great junior season where he went 28-17, won the CCIW title at 165 

and qualified for the NCAA Division III national tournament. Senior Cody 

Heche (Cary-Grove HS, Cary, Ill.) and sophomore Erik Timko (Geneva HS, 

Geneva, Ill.) are also available at 174. 

184 – Junior Jordan Richardson (Grandville HS, Wyoming, Ill.) started last 

year at 184 but dropped down to 174 and finished 38-11. He won the 

CCIW title at 174 and was named the league’s Most Outstanding Wrestler 

and went on to earn NCAA Division III All-American honors. Senior Ian 

Knepshield (Shady Side HS, Ford City, Penn.) is a veteran who will be a 

capable backup. 

197 – Plenty of bodies here and Juergens is waiting for somebody to 

take charge of this weight class. Sophomore Seth Whan (Sherrard HS, 

Viola, Ill.) finished his freshman year with a 12-18 record and senior Matt 

Regnier (Riverside-Brookfield HS, Riverside, Ill.) was 5-9. Freshmen Frank 

Hollo (Litchfield HS, Litchfield, Ill.) and Jake Melik (Pleasant Valley HS, Bettendorf, 

Iowa) and sophomore Steve Monaco (Stagg HS, Hickory Hills, Ill.) 

should be in the mix as well. 

285 – The Vikings have the luxury of three quality wrestlers at this weight 

class. Junior Abe Duran (East Aurora HS, Aurora, Ill.) was 13-6 last year 

while sophomore John Schraidt (Riverside-Brookfield HS, Riverside, Ill.) 

finished 26-9 and sophomore John Seamen (Munster HS, Munster, Ind.) 

was 16-8. 

Junior Jordan Richardson will wrestle at 184 pounds this year. As a 

sophomore, he finished with a record of 38-11, was the CCIW individual 

champion at 174 pounds and finished 8th at Nationals. Richardson was 

also selected as an All-American for his efforts

THE VIKING STAFF 


ERIC JUERGENS – 

Head Wrestling Coach 

After serving as Augustana’s interim 

head coach for the 2007-08 season, 

Eric Juergens, a two time NCAA Division 

I national champion, was hired 

as the school’s full time wrestling 

coach on April 4, 2008. He heads 

into his sixth season at the helm of 

the Vikings in 2012-13. Juergens 

has the Vikings coming off their best 

campaign in eight years, leading 

them to a 11-4 dual meet record and 

a second place finish in the College 

Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin 

(CCIW). The 2011-12 season 

also saw Juergens’ team produce 

Augustana’s first All-American (Jordan 

Richardson) since the 2002-03 

season, as well as three individual conference champions (Alberto Quiros, 

Richardson, and Matt Burns). 

Augustana went 2-9 in dual meets and finished fourth in the College Conference 

of Illinois & Wisconsin during Juergens’ interim season of 2007-08. 

In his second year (2008-09), the Vikings went 4-11 in dual meets and 

moved up to third in the CCIW. 2009-2010 brought an improved record 

of 5-10 in dual meets and another third place conference finish, building 

up to the success the program experienced during the 2010-11 season. 

The 2010-11 season saw Juergens’ team achieve a new high, producing 

Augustana’s first two conference champions (freshmen Jacob Scholten 

and Jordan Graham) since the 2005-06 season, as well as two Scholar All- 

Americans in Hunter Feraco and Tim Day. 

In September of 2008, the head wrestling coaching position at Augustana 

was fully endowed thanks to a generous gift from Terry and Sandy Shockley. 

Juergens becomes the first “Terry and Sandy Shockley Head Wrestling 

Coach” in school history. Augustana is the first school in the CCIW and 

one of a select few in NCAA Division III to have an endowed coaching 

position in its athletic department. 

“I want to thank the administration for giving me the chance as a head 

coach,” said Juergens when the interim tag was removed from his title in 

the spring of 2008. “My intentions and goals will be very simple. I have 

been coached by some of the greatest names in the sport of wrestling, 

guys like Dan Gable, Jim Zalesky, Tom and Terry Brands and Lincoln McIlravy 

just to name a few. I want to take the very methods and techniques 

that I have learned over the course of my own career and implement 

them at Augustana.” 

Juergens had a prolific career as a competitor. Wrestling at the University 

of Iowa, he won individual national titles both as a junior (1999-00) and 

as a senior (2000-01). He was third in the NCAA tournament in his freshman 

(1997-98) and sophomore (1998-99) seasons. As a senior he served 

as team captain and was the Hawkeye’s Most Valuable Performer. He was 

the Big Ten Wrestler of the Year and selected as the University of Iowa’s 

“Male Athlete of the Year”. 

During his junior campaign he had an undefeated 33-0 record en route to 

his first national title. Along the way he won the Big Ten title and was the 

champion at the Midlands Tournament. He was given the Art Kraft “Champion 

of Champions” award at the Midlands. 

He finished third in the Big Ten both his freshman and sophomore seasons 

prior to placing third in the national meet each year. He was named the 

NCAA “Freshman of the Year” at the completion of the 1997-98 season. 

His high school career at Maquoketa High School in Maquoketa, Iowa was 

one of unparalleled success. He was 144-0 during his four year, compiling 

100 pins and winning four straight state titles. He was the Northern Plains 

Regional champion and was first team Amateur Wrestling News All-American. 

He was a second team Asics Tiger All-American as well. He placed 

second at Cadet Nationals as a sophomore and was an honor roll student. 

Juergens graduated from the University of Iowa in 2001 with a B.A. 

degree in English. He served as a volunteer assistant coach at Augustana 

in 2006-07 and before that he spent two seasons as a volunteer assistant 

at Loras. He is the owner of Young Guns Wrestling Club and served as the 

camp director for the University of Iowa Wrestling Camps from 1998 until 

2002. 

He leads an Augustana program that has won a total of 36 CCIW titles, 

more than any other school in the conference.

Augustana announces the “Terry and Sandy Shockley Head Wrestling Coach” endowment 

The tradition-rich Augustana wrestling program received quite a boost from one of its most 

successful alums recently and the result is the school’s first endowed head coaching position. 

The “Terry and Sandy Shockley Head Wrestling Coach” has been made possible thanks 

to a generous $500,000.00 endowment gift from Terry and Sandy (Tweddell) Shockley. The 

Shockleys are alumni of Augustana, Terry, class of 1962 and Sandy, class of 1965. 

“Augustana is deeply grateful to Terry and Sandy for their steadfast support of our wrestling 

program,” said Augustana president Steve Bahls. “Generations of Augustana wrestlers will 

benefit from their decision to endow a first-class wrestling program.” 

The Shockley’s have been long-time supporters of Augustana in general and the wrestling 

program in particular. In the fall of 2003 the wrestling room in the Carver PE Center was 

refurbished and renamed the “Shockley Wrestling Room” after a gift from the Shockley’s. 

Terry had a tremendous career as a wrestler at Augustana. In 1962, after winning the 

NCAA Mideast Regional, Shockley became a national qualifier at 137 pounds in the NCAA 

University Division at Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Oklahoma. A year earlier, as a junior, he 

placed second at the NAIA National Tournament in Golden, Colorado at 130 pounds. 

He was a four year letter winner and won three College Conference of Illinois individual 

titles, two at 130 pounds (1960-61) and one at 137 (1962). He finished second in the CCI 

at 130 pounds as a freshman in 1959, losing in overtime on a referee’s decision. He compiled 

a career record of 69-9 and had 29 pins. An extremely durable performer, he wrestled 

in every dual meet and tournament that Augustana competed in during his four year career. 

Shockley was the Most Outstanding Wrestler in the CCI in both his junior (1960-61) and 

senior (1961-62) seasons and in the NCAA Mideast Regional in 1961-62. He was the 

Vikings’ Most Valuable Performer in 1960-61 and again in 1961-62 as well as being named 

the Most Outstanding Wrestler at the Wheaton and Knox Tournament as a senior. Following 

graduation from Augustana, Shockley competed in many AAU tournaments while serving as 

the head wrestling coach at the University of Kansas, where he earned a Master’s degree in 

radio-TV film. 


“We have been truly blessed in our marriage and broadcasting careers to be in a position 

to extend our appreciation and loyalty to Augustana. Our sport needs advocates,” said 

Shockley. “Now, at Augustana we can ‘press on’ under the leadership of Eric Juergens for 

the sport of wrestling and continue to be one of the outstanding athletic teams in the history 

of Augustana athletics. Hopefully our support will help Augustana meet and exceed the 

challenge of supporting a tremendous athletic program.” 

Eric Juergens, who built quite a name for himself as a competitor while winning a pair of 

NCAA Division I national titles at the University of Iowa, is the first coach to occupy the position 

of “Terry and Sandy Shockley Head Wrestling Coach.” He was the interim head coach 

during the 2007-08 season before shedding that tag in April of 2008. Juergens, a four time 

NCAA All-American for the Hawkeyes, is understandably honored to be the first person to 

ascend to this prestigious position. 

“The gift of the Shockley’s is an outstanding example of how alumni can show their gratitude 

for the amazing experience they had while at Augustana,” said Juergens. “With support 

such as this, we have built the foundation of turning the Augustana wrestling program 

back into a program that is consistent with those at the top of NCAA Division III.” 

With the addition of the “Terry and Sandy Shockley Head Wrestling Coach”, Augustana now 

has a total of 17 endowed positions on campus. This is not only the first endowed position 

in Viking athletics, but it is also a first in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin and 

one of the few nationwide at the NCAA Division III level. 

Augustana’s tradition in wrestling is peppered with success. The Vikings own 36 total College 

Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin team titles, including a stretch from 1982 until 2004 

where they won 23 of 24 championships. They won 10 straight from 1963-72, 15 straight 

from 1982-96 and seven in a row from 1998-2004. A total of 49 Augustana wrestlers have 

earned All-American honors with eight individual national titles. The program has produced 

11 top 15 national team places, four Academic All-Americans, 11 Wrestling Coaches 

Association Scholar-Athletes, 18 CCIW “Most Outstanding Wrestlers” and 188 individual 

conference champions.

2011-12 WRESTLING REVIEW 

Jordan Richardson becomes first Viking All-American in nine years; Richardson, 

Alberto Quiros & Matt Burns win CCIW championships; Vikings finish 

11-4 in dual meets for best record since 2002-03 

For the fifth consecutive season under head coach Eric Juergens, 

the Augustana wrestling team improved its dual meet record 

and regional finish in 2011-12. Behind sophomore All-American 

Jordan Richardson (Grandville HS, Wyoming, Mich.) and fellow 

College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin champions senior 

Alberto Quiros (J. Sterling Morton HS, Cicero, Ill.) and junior Matt 

Burns (Naperville Central HS, Naperville, Ill.), this year’s Vikings 

went 11-4 in dual meet competition for their best record since the 

2003-04 team went 15-5. The team’s second-place finish in the 

CCIW was the program’s best since Augustana won the conference 

title in 2004. Juergens’ crew was sixth at the Great Lakes 

Regional and 36th at the national meet. 

Richardson finished eighth in the 174-pound weight class at the 

NCAA Division III meet in La Crosse, Wisconsin to become the 

first Augustana wrestler to earn All-America status since Matt 

Kapraun in 2003. Quiros and Burns also qualified for the national 

meet. Burns knocked off the fifth seed at 165 pounds, but lost to 

the fourth and third seeds. Quiros was eliminated at 149 pounds 

on a pair of one-point decisions, including one to the eighth seed. 

Although Richardson and Quiros shared Most Outstanding Wrestler 

honors at the CCIW meet held at Carver Center, Burns’ title at 

165 pounds may have been the most impressive. Seeded fourth, 

he handled top-seeded Mike Ryan of Elmhurst 7-2 in the semifinals 

before topping North Central’s second-seeded Devin Milheim 

16-5 in the final. Richardson, seeded second at 174, pinned North 

Central’s Andrew Hiller and won the title with an 8-1 decision 

over top-seeded Danny Balderas of Elmhurst. Quiros was also 

seeded second at 149 and beat North Central’s Eric Oyster 8-5 

and Elmhurst’s top-seeded Ryan Earley 6-5 for his championship. 

Augustana finished second in the team standings with 77 points. 

Elmhurst was the team champion with 101 points. 

In addition, Richardson won the 184-pound title at the Knox Open 

in Galesburg, Illinois and the 174-pound championship at the 

Central Tournament in Pella, Iowa. Quiros was also a champion at 

Central—winning at 149 pounds—as was freshman John Schraidt 

(Riverside-Brookfield HS, Riverside, Ill.), who bested the field at 

285 pounds. Quiros’ performance at Pella, which included five 

straight wins including two by fall, earned him CCIW Wrestler of 

the Week honors. 

The team’s dual meet ledger included wins over Knox (48-6), 

Central (21-10), Simpson (28-12), Loras (25-14), UW-Platteville 

(36-6), Hannibal-LaGrange (49-3), Trine (26-24), Chicago (22-18), 

Wheaton (26-15), Manchester (25-16) and Concordia (Wis.) (36- 

12). Its losses came to Elmhurst (27-12), Cornell (34-6), Luther 

(27-11) and North Central (27-18). 

The Vikings finished fourth among 13 teams at the North Central 

Invitational on December 10 and 12th in a field of 31 teams at 

Wheaton’s Pete Willson Invitational on January 28. 

Individually, Richardson finished the season 38-11, putting him in 

a tie for 20th on Augustana’s single-season wins list. Quiros ended 

his career with a 36-11 senior season. Junior Steve Poffenberger 

(Allegan HS, Paw Paw, Mich.), the CCIW’s 133-pound runner-up, 

fashioned a 30-13 record this year. Burns finished 28-17. 

Schraidt (Riverside-Brookfield HS, Riverside, Ill.) led a trio of successful 

285-pounders for the Vikings, finishing the year 26-9 and 

taking second place at the conference meet. Freshman John Seaman 

(Munster HS, Munster, Ind.) went 16-8 and sophomore Abe 

Duran (East Aurora HS, Aurora, Ill.) was 13-6. 

Junior Hunter Feraco (Gull Lake HS, Battle Creek, Mich.) repeated 

as a CCIW third-place finisher at 197 pounds and finished 

the year with a 22-15 record. Junior 141-pounder Greg Gogonas 

(James Bowie HS, Austin, Texas) went 18-18 this year and was 

a runner-up in the CCIW. Freshman David Tessiatore (Downers 

Grove North HS, Downers Grove, Ill.), who finished fourth in the 

conference at 157 pounds, posted a 13-21 record and classmate 

Seth Whan (Sherrard HS, Viola, Ill.), CCIW runner-up at 184 

pounds, was 12-18 this season. 

Alberto Quiros finished his senior season with an impressive 36-11 record 

while wrestling at 149 pounds. Quiros was alos able to take home the 

College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin individual championship in the 

149 pound weight class.

THE COLLEGE CONFERENCE OF ILLINOIS & WISCONSIN 

Now in its 67th year, the College Conference of Illinois 

& Wisconsin (CCIW) enjoys a reputation as the “Best 

Small-College Conference in the Nation.” The league 

was formed with nine charter members (Augustana, 

Carthage, Elmhurst, Illinois College, Illinois Wesleyan, 

Lake Forest, Millikin, North Central and Wheaton) on 

April 26, 1946 in Jacksonville, Illinois. Competition 

opened in the 1946-47 academic year as the College 

Conference of Illinois. 

Carthage left the conference in 1952 but returned in 

1961. In 1967 the name was changed to the College 

Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin to recognize Carthage, 

which had moved to Kenosha, Wisconsin from 

Carthage, Illinois in 1962, and Carroll, which entered 

the league in 1955. 

As is often the case with athletic conferences, CCIW 

membership has experienced some changes since 

the league’s inception. After Carthage left in 1952, 

Illinois College withdrew the following year. Elmhurst 

and Wheaton left following the 1959-60 academic year. 

Wheaton rejoined for all sports but football in 1967 

and then for football in 1970. Elmhurst rejoined in the 

fall of 1967 for all sports but football and for football 

in the 1968 season. Carroll joined officially with the 

1955 spring sports seasons. Carthage returned in 

1961 and North Park entered the following fall. Lake 

Forest dropped out at the end of the 1962-63 year. The 

last change in CCIW membership came following the 

1991-92 season when Carroll withdrew. 

Now eight members strong, the CCIW continues its 

tradition of athletic and academic excellence. The 

league sanctioned women’s sports for the first time in 

the 1986-87 school year and Augustana participated 

in the first ever women’s competition. That was on 

September 14, 1986 when the Vikings met North Central 

in a volleyball match that was held at Elmhurst 

College. 

The College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin sanctions 

21 sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, 

men’s and women’s cross country, football, 

men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, 

softball, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s and 

women’s tennis, men’s and women’s indoor track & 

field, men’s and women’s outdoor track & field, volleyball 

and wrestling. 

The latest sports added at Augustana were men’s and 

women’s lacrosse and neither of those are sponsored 

by the CCIW. 

Augustana owns more CCIW team championships 

than any other school in the league with 176 total. Of 

those 176, the men have won 137 and 39 belong to the 

women. 

The CCIW began to award championships in wrestling 

in 1957 and since that time Augustana has dominated 

with a total of 36 out of a possible 51 titles. The 

Vikings had a streak of 10 straight from 1963 through 

1972 and 15 consecutive from 1982 through 1996.
