head wrestling coach Steve Costanzo announced the signing of Mic Berg
of Simley High School to a National Letter of Intent to compete for the
Huskies during the 2009-10 season.

and has aspirations of becoming a national champion.”
Berg is projected to compete at the 184-pound or 197-pound weight

achieved All-America honors in freestyle wrestling, where he finished
as a runner-up at the 2007 USA Wrestling Cadet Nationals. Berg is 69-14

weight class by Wrestling USA Magazine.
Berg is the son of Mark and Colleen Berg residing in Inver Grove Heights. He is currently undecided with a major.
The Huskies compete in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, and
they are an NCAA Division II affiliate. Under the leadership of
Costanzo, who begins his third season at SCSU in 2008-08, the Huskies
posted an impressive 13-2 dual match record in 2007-08. SCSU also
placed 12th in the nation as a team at the 2008 NCAA Division II
championships.
