Final Results

Nick Henneman (Oregon, Ohio/Clay H.S.) concluded the 2021-2022 wrestling season for Lourdes University on Saturday afternoon with a seventh finish at the NAIA National Championships inside of Hartman Arena in Park City, Kan.
 
"I am so proud of the way that Nick battled back for seventh place," head coach Dock Kelly III said afterwards.  "Although he fell short of his ultimate goal, he showed tremendous resiliency to battle back through the consolation bracket.
 
The second-seed at 141 pounds, Henneman began his day facing ninth-seeded Julian Hernandez of Life.  After being taken down early, he pulled within one, on an escape.  Choosing down to start the second, Henneman again escaped, evening the match 2-2 heading to the third.  With both wrestlers neutral, Hernandez scored a takedown just before the horn to score a 4-2 decision.
 
Henneman concluded the event, and his career, against conference foe, and 10^th-seeded Kyle Kantola of Indiana Tech.  A first period takedown would be the difference for the fifth-year senior, as he then rode out the period.  Despite not being able to escape in the second when starting in the down position, riding time was not a factor.  Both wrestlers were neutral the entire third period, and despite a late stalling point, Henneman earned the 2-1 decision to conclude his career victorious.
 
Henneman closed his season with a 23-2 record and a career mark of 65-13 as a three-time All-American.
 
"I am also proud of Noah Clary and Blake Montrie for getting to the round of 12 last night and Richard Jackson for earning several quality wins here," Kelly added.  "They competed hard and represented our wrestling program well."
 
As a team, Lourdes placed 21st in a field of 62 schools with 20 points over the two-day event.
 
"Overall, this was a great year for the Lourdes University wrestling program.  We accomplished some great things that we can continue to build upon moving forward.  Lastly, I can't thank my assistant coach, Louis Piszker, enough for all of his hard work.  He did an outstanding job of having our guys prepared to wrestle all year long."
