Campbellsville University rose to the top of the NAIA off the mat this spring, being recognized by the NAIA and National Wrestling Coaches Association as the NWCA All-Academic NAIA Wrestling Team. Campbellsville compiled a team grade point average of 3.238 during the 2009-10 season, the highest of any NAIA wrestling team this year. The academic honor comes on the heels of a season that included CU finishing seventh in the NWCA National Duals, win the inaugural Mid-South Conference Championship and bring home its second NAIA individual national champion, Tommy Pretty at 133 pounds. But for CU head coach Franky James, this may be the highest achievement of the season. "This is a goal that we set for the program when we started six years ago. We have been close every year and we always want to be near the top of the standings," James said. "We're all so proud of the team for this accomplishment. I want to win more than anybody, but I want to win with young people that the university and community can be proud of. We push them to work in the classroom like they do in the practice room and it's nice to see the results of that. No question that this group has a very strong work ethic and this accomplishment is a direct result of that work ethic." Over the past five seasons, Campbellsville has finished in the Top 5 for the NAIA/NWCA All-Academic Team each year. CU was second in 2007 with a GPA of 3.176, third in 2008 and 2009 and fourth in 2006. This year's GPA of 3.238 is the fourth highest of any NAIA program during that time. "Congratulations to Coach James and the Tiger wrestlers. This shows their commitment to academic excellence is important. This is a great accomplishment for our student-athletes," said Rusty Hollingsworth, CU director of athletics. The honor also brought praise from university President Dr. Michael V. Carter. "I am very pleased with the commitment that we see displayed by our men's wrestling program to their academic areas of study. The discipline and hard work these young men are demonstrating is a testament to their character and to being successful for years to come," said Carter. In addition to praise from the university administration, Kentucky legislators Sen. Jimmy Higdon (R-Lebanon) and Rep. John "Bam" Carney (R-Campbellsville) recognized James and the team on campus Thursday, April 8. The team GPA is compiled by the combined GPA of a team's 12 national qualifier wrestlers and two other wrestlers. Those wrestlers, must maintain a 3.25 or better or be a NAIA All-Americans with at least a 3.0 GPA. Individually, Campbellsville had five wrestlers reach the mark of a 3.25 GPA or better to be considered an All-Academic selection: Name Hometown Year Major GPA Josh Ashbrook Harrison Co., Ky.

Tommy Pretty and Spencer Adams both picked up individual titles at the University of Indianapolis Greyhound Open on Sunday, one day after leading Campbellsville University to the first-ever Mid-South Conference Championship Saturday. Seven of the other nine CU wrestlers that competed in the Open also placed in the Top 5. Pretty remained perfect for the week, taking down Purdue's Bill Putman, 7-3, in the first round of the 133-pound weight class Sunday. He followed up with a 7-0 decision over Lindsey Wilson's Ethan Miller to advance to the championship against the host school's Casey Kenney. Pretty collected his eighth pin of the season just 58 seconds into the match to beat Kenney and win the open. Pretty (22-4) has now won six matches since falling from the top spot in the NAIA last Tuesday. Adams was also perfect for the day Sunday, beating Tiger teammate Allen Scruggs, 5-0, to win the 184-pound weight class. Adams also beat fellow Tiger Phillip Oudhuis, 6-0, to advance to the final. Oudhuis went on to finish third in the weight class. Johnny Papesh was second in the 125-pound class, falling 7-0 to Indiana University's Justin Brooks, while Scott Wern was second at 197, losing to University of the Cumberlands' Fredrick Byars, 5-3.

Campbellsville University won all four of its matches and collected the first-ever Mid-South Conference Wrestling Tournament hardware Saturday afternoon on its home mats in the Gosser Gym. The rest of the field: Cumberland University 2-1-1, Lindsey Wilson 2-2, University of the Cumberlands 1-2-1, West Virginia tech 0-4. "This is pretty neat," said coach Franky James, "and to get it here at home is really special for our guys." Campbellsville's Tommy Pretty, Nick Waldrop and James Linker were undefeated in their four matches in helping the Tigers to the title. "We bumped Spencer Adams up to 197 and he got a big win for us today," said James. James praised Jeremiah Fennel too."He just keeps on improving," said James. "He lost a one-point match to Cumberland University's B.J. Stewart and Stewart was ranked No. 1 at one time this season." But there is no rest for the weary, as Campbellsville left at 7:00 Saturday for Indiana and a match Sunday at Indianapolis University. "We started out a little slow, but we got it together after that," said James. "Our guys have been training really hard because we haven't had a match since a January 15th dual against McKendree. We just needed to get out there and compete."
