Greetings to all. I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and had a chance to spend some quality time with their family and friends. I know I did.

As with any great organization, the key to success is its ability to eff ectively evolve. In fact, Coach Roger Reina used to tell his team that there is no such thing as being static – the wrestler or the team is either improving or in decline. I think that statement is true in many facets of our lives. As many of you know, the Grappler’s Club is going through a transition period. We, too, will either improve or risk becoming an ineff ective organization. I intend to do everything in my power to make sure it’s the former! Since taking over as President of the

Grappler’s Club, it has been a whirlwind of conference calls and meetings as we not only prepare for the upcoming season but position ourselves to be the best alumni organization in the land. My fi rst task has been to bring in new members with fresh ideas. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce these new committee chairs and their responsibilities. We had our fi rst board meeting, and I think all that were present would agree that it was extremely productive.

The board will consist of six Subcommittee Chairs, the Subcommittee members, several At-Large board members, and myself. The Subcommittees are as follows: Events, Finance, Mentoring, Communications, Marketing, and NCAA Correspondent.

Joe Malachowski will be the new Events Chair and will have his hands full with the many events that we plan to have in the years to come. Joe and his subcommittee board members will be responsible for organizing our alumni events and team banquet. This year we will focus on improving our event at Homecoming with the announcement of the return of the Alumni Match on Saturday, Nov. 7th. This year, however, the match will be alumni vs. alumni rather than alumni against current team members. We are currently looking for match-ups, so please send in the matches that you would like to see. We are also working out the details of a reunion following the home match vs. Lehigh (more to come). In addition, we plan to have a ‘meet the

coach’ night in NYC to give the alumni in the metropolitan New York area a chance to meet Coach Rob Eiter.

Recent grad Lior Zamir will take on the position of Finance Chair and will be responsible for fulfi lling our fundraising eff ort. Many people do not realize that the money we raise goes directly to the team to fund the annual operating budget. Last year our alumni did an extraordinary job of helping the team in one of the most challenging environments imaginable. However, we did fall short of our goal, and Coach Eiter was forced to cut his budget accordingly. For our team to stay competitive, we cannot let this happen again. The main issue is that many give at the end of the school’s fi scal year which unfortunately leaves the board scrambling at the last minute. Lior will be leading the charge to expand our donor base and to have donations made earlier. This will be a driving factor in the board’s overall success.

WrestlingFall 2009 Grapplers Club Newsletter

From Grapplers Club President Gary Baker, W’95...

NCAA All-American Matt Herrington will be taking over as the Communications Chair. Originally, the only contact that the alumni had with the team was through these newsletters or by attending a match. Former Chair, Rich Hines, drastically improved the communications channel with the addition of weekly email updates. We would like to take it to the next level with the introduction of video highlights. While we are still working out the details, we will have a minimum of two online video presentations throughout the year so that regardless of your location, you can see the Red and Blue in action. Matt has several other innovative ideas that will continue to improve our communication eff orts.

There is nothing like competing in front of a crowd as it tends to bring the best out of you. With the resurgence of the program over the last two decades, we have developed quite a following. Naturally, we want to make it better. Nick Matteo has agreed to join the board as the Marketing Chair. As I stated to Nick, our goal is to showcase Penn Wrestling in the best possible light, and Nick is the right person to lead this endeavor. For example, he has proposed having local youth programs compete before home matches as well as having a youth league all-star match prior to one of our major competitions. This will bring the local and surrounding wrestling community to the Palestra and will help us build a strong fan base. Additionally, we are looking for other ways that we can help the community such as having a CHOP patient as an honorary

team member. This is a noble cause and one that I support wholeheartedly.

This year I have decided to have a subcommittee that will focus on the 2011 NCAA’s which will be held at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. Chris Hanlon has volunteered to head this venture. Several local alumni are currently working with the NCAA with regard to volunteers, the fan-fest and a dinner honoring NCAA Hall of Fame members. Our strong local ties and history of running successful tournaments will be invaluable assets to make the 2011 NCAA’s a record-breaking event. In return, we hope to ensure that all of our Penn supporters will have access to preferential seating.

It goes without saying that there is much work to be done. Each Subcommittee Chair is looking for volunteers, so please get in touch with us if you have ideas or would like to help. Without the support of the Subcommittee Chairs, it would be impossible for me to fi ll the shoes of Clinton Matter. I thank them immensely for taking the time to give back to the program that has given us all so much.

Last, I would like to say a few words about our Coach, Rob Eiter. It has been a pleasure to get to know and work with Rob and his wife, Courtenay. They work endlessly as a team to make our program better. I am confi dent that with their leadership, Penn Wrestling will rise to the top and will prepare our young men for the challenges on the mat as well as in career development. After all, this is what sets our program apart.

I hope you are as excited as I am for the new season to begin,

Gary BakerGrappler’s Club President

The Mentoring Program has been offi cially up and running for the last fi ve years through the leadership of 1974 grad Rick Bowe. Rick has spent countless hours creating the guidelines to implement his vision. Recently, we reviewed what has and has not worked thus far. To improve the success of the program, we have implemented a new plan whereby each incoming freshman will immediately be teamed up with a recent graduate. This young alumnus will communicate with the freshman throughout his fi rst two years at Penn and will be a true mentor to help the student with all aspects of career development. Don’t we all wish that we had such an opportunity when we fi rst came

to Penn! This program was introduced at the team’s annual picnic in early September where the young alumni met with the incoming freshman. Provided that the student-athlete commits to the program, the young alumni will use our strong alumni association to aid in intern and job placement. Rob Hitschler, a recent graduate of the mentoring program, will work closely with Rick as the Alumni Coordinator.

Greetings to all,

I trust everyone’s summer was fun and enjoyable. I was a little upset with the “mild” summer temperatures, but I still found a few days to enjoy the shore with my family! It was a busy summer for PENN Wrestling – we started a summer wrestling camp in a new location (Stockton College in southern NJ) and will look to expand to 2 more locations for the summer of 2010. This year’s camp was a success and the whole team came back to help and get some hard trainingof their in. We had some big news happen at the end of the summer with

the hiring of Matt Valenti as my other assistant coach. After spending two years away from PENN, Matt was ready to return home and help bring PENN Wrestling back to a place of national prominence. Matt has been great since returning and we are all excited to have him back.

We expect big results from this year’s squad! Below is our weight-by-weight summary for this year’s team. We have a nice combination of young and old talent and there is plenty of competition in the room right now! They have all been training very hard in this pre-season conditioning phase, and are ready to get on the mats. I hope to see many of you in the stands – whether home or away – as I promise our team will be ready to wrestle!

125lbs — Senior Rollie Peterkin will be the front-runner for this spot. He is a two-time NCAA qualifi er reaching the round of 12 both times. Sophomore Mark Rappo and freshman Reid Oshiro will look for starting time throughout the year.

133lbs -- Junior Bryan Ortenzio and sophomore Dan White will again battle for the starting position. Sophomore Zach Ellis will move up from 125lbs this year and add further depth to a strong weight.

141lbs — Junior Zach Kemmerer will step into a starting role this year.

149lbs — Senior Cesar Grajales, a three-time NCAA qualifi er will look to earn a spot on the podium this year. Junior Jake Hunter will push Grajales and freshman Troy Hernandez will further solidify a very tough weightclass.

157lbs — Senior Matt Dragon looks to make a step up to the next level this year. A three-time NCAA qualifi er, Dragon will be supported by sophomore T.J. Polacek, who moves up from 149lbs.

165lbs — Juniors Tommy Timothy and Gabe Burak are expected to battle for the starting spot this year. Rounding out a solid weight class are newcomers Shane Milam and Mike Steltenkamp.

174lbs — Two-time NCAA Qualifi er Scott Giffi n looks to improve on his previous successes. Sophomore Cory Beaver will provide solid support after spot starting at 184 and 197lbs last year.

184lbs — After competing at 197lbs last year, junior Thomas Shovlin will wrestle at 184lbs this year. Providing support at this weight will be freshman Harrison Cook.

197lbs — Freshman Micah Burak will step into the starting role at 197lbs this year after a successful freestyle off season.

285lbs — Senior Tyler Blakely looks to take control at heavyweight spot after starting last season.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The time has come to pass the torch to some new blood here at the Information arm of the Grapplers' Club. It has been a fabulous run for me and I appreciate the many kind comments and conversations I've had over the last fi ve odd years -- as well as the continuing support from us all for what I feel is a great vision for an athletic program.

The new Editor/Moderator/Director of Information is Matt Herrington -- and he is already hard at work for the PWF. Over the last couple of years I've gotten to know Matt better and better and I am very pleased to be turning the reins over to him.

If you care to get in touch or keep in touch my email is: wyohines@yahoo.com

Please note that all replies to the group email will go to Matt Herrington at this time, nothing passes through me except through my personal email above. Please also note that the gmail account we started this all off with, while functional, is not checked on any regular basis.

I will continue to function as an At-Large member of the Grapplers' Club, so you may hear from me in that capacity down the road. I also still hope to make a competition or two a year and see the Red & Blue and alums in person.

It really has been a fabulous time for me, and I appreciate all you do for the program and all the wonderful memories and help I've had from so many in doing a fun bit of work for the Grapplers' Club!

Sincerely,Hines

Most memorable Penn Wrestling Moment:

I have so many unforgettable moments during my career at Penn. The one that stands out the most would have to be pinning Travis Frick from Lehigh for 5th place at the NCAA Championships. I had come back from shoulder surgery the year before and had lost to Frick twice in overtime matches that year. That match was a culmination of all the hard work and time I had put in to getting back on the mat along with letting go and allowing myself to wrestling my absolute best.

Why were you interested in serving on the Penn Wrestling / Grapplers’ Board?

Wrestling has always been such a big part of my life. After college I think all wrestlers look for ways to stay involved in the sport in their own way. Being on the Grapplers’ Club Board will allow me to remain close to the sport as well as give back to a program that has given so much to me. My goal is to build on the tremendous job Rich Hines did in improving the communications capabilities of Penn wrestling. There are quite a few young new members on the board this year and I am excited to work with them to continue our fi ght to make Penn the best wrestling program in the country. There are a number of new initiatives that we will be undertaking this year to help improve the communications division. Along with the Fall and Spring newsletters and match updates which will be sent out via numerous communication channels we will also be producing and distributing a video webinar which will be a great way for Penn fans to get a behind the scenes look at how the team is doing and catch up on the latest action!

If you could challenge any Penn Alumni to a wrestling match during this falls homecoming who would it be and why?

I would challenge Lior Zamir because his only off ense is an eye poke.
