Saxlund joins Wrestling Apparel
September 13, 2004
Fargo, ND - Designer of custom uniforms, Wrestling Apparel, announces the addition of three-time NCAA National Champion, Steve Saxlund as General Manager.
Saxlund's wrestling expertise begins from the time he was a young boy in the locker room as his father coached Pipestone-Jasper High School in Minnesota. With wrestling in his blood, Saxlund had an outstanding career in high school wrestling under his father by being Minnesota state champion and holding an impressive record of 186-26-1.
Saxlund continued his career at North Dakota State University in Fargo, N.D. in 1998 where he went on to obtain four North Central Conference Championships as well as three NCAA Championships. Saxlund finished his undergraduate career at NDSU in 2001 with a degree in Biology and a record of 107-19. He will finish his graduate studies in December with a Master's in Sports Management from NDSU.
Saxlund said throughout his successful wrestling career he had a target on his back as the guy to beat. "In order to be a successful wrestler, I had to separate myself from my competition and this meant I had to outwork my opponents."
He carries this work ethic into his professional carrier at Wrestling Apparel. "I am really excited to be a part of this growing company and we are ready to bring it to the next level. We want people to think Wrestling Apparel when they think about the sport of wrestling."
At the roots of the company is wrestling. Keith Stensgard, president of Wrestling Apparel, comes from a distinct wrestling background. Stensgard wrestled through high school at Fargo South High School and college at NDSU. He is a former wrestling coach for Fargo South High School in Fargo, ND and at Uintah High School in Vernal, UT.
"Steve's work ethic makes him a perfect fit at Wrestling Apparel. He is a hard worker who knows how to manage and he has an incredible passion for the sport of wrestling," Stensgard said. "As a former coach I would love to buy from a former wrestler. That's why our sport stands out. Wrestlers stick with wrestlers."
