at Collegiate All-Star Challenge
December 30, 2006
The Augustana
wrestling team was well-represented at the Inaugural Collegiate
All-Star Challenge as Austin Scarset, Cody Henriksen and Nate Buys all
collected wins Saturday night at the Long Lines Center in Sioux City,
Iowa.
Scarset, a returning All-American who is ranked third in Division II at
157 pounds, earned a 9-6 decision over Hayden Harrison of Embry-Riddle.
Harrison is ranked No. 1 in the NAIA national rankings.
Henriksen, a 2006 All-American at 165 pounds, is ranked seventh at 174
pounds in the latest national rankings gained a measure of revenge as
he scored a 9-1 major decision against Enoch Francois of Northwestern,
Iowa. Francois, who is ranked seventh in NAIA, defeated Henriksen 10-4
when Augustana met Northwestern in a dual on November 29.
Buys, a returning All-American who is ranked third at 197 pounds, was
also impressive as he won a major decision with a 10-0 shutout of Jesse
Laber of the University of Mary. Laber won the 2005 NAIA national title
at 197 pounds. Since Mary is a provisional Division II school, he is
not nationally ranked.
