About Bloomsburg 

Bloomsburg University, a member of Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education, 

is a four-year coeducational public university founded in 1839. Through the stages of its 

development from a normal school to a teachers college to a multipurpose state college and 

finally to a university in 1983, the institution has retained its emphasis on liberal arts and 

career education. 

Bloomsburg is recognized as one of the best 100 public universities in the United States, 

and excellence, ranging from its 10 NCAA championships to its international reputation in 

a number of its academic programs, is an attitude found throughout the faculty and staff. 

About 90 percent of Bloomsburg’s students come from throughout Pennsylvania, creating 

a diverse mix of cultures and ideas. It’s a place where friendships that last a lifetime begin. 

And it’s a busy place — with more than 150 student organizations and activities, NCAA Division 

II athletic programs and a popular recreation center. 

The university’s Division of Continuing and Distance Education serves students through 

nondegree credit courses, noncredit minicourses, off-campus classes, credit for life experience 

and distance learning courses on public television. 

The Town of Bloomsburg, located in the Susquehanna River Valley, has a population of 

about 12,000 people. The central business district is just three blocks southwest of campus, 

and includes more than 80 retail stores, restaurants and the Bloomsburg Fair in September. 

More stores, restaurants and theaters can be found along nearby Route 11 and at the Columbia 

Mall, northwest of town. 

The university is within a one-hour drive from such cities as Hazleton, Williamsport, 

Wilkes-Barre and Scranton; 1.5 hours from Harrisburg; 2.5 hours from Philadelphia; 3 hours 

from New York City and Baltimore; and four hours from Pittsburgh and Washington, DC.

As Bloomsburg University wrestling 

coach Dan Wirnsberger gets ready for 

the start of the 2003-04 season he is 

sure of just one thing, the season will 

be exciting for both the team and the 

fans. From there your guess will be as 

good as his as to how the season will 

play out. 

Wirnsberger’s uncertainty comes 

from the fact that this year’s team will 

feature 16 newcomers to the roster. 

Many of the those freshmen will be in 

the lineup on a regular basis facing one 

of the toughest schedules in recent 

memory. New to the Bloomsburg 

schedule this year are Big 10 team 

Ohio State and Indiana as well as 

perennial top-five Cornell. 

“Our success on the mat will 

depend on how quickly we can develop 

our talented athletes into Division I 

caliber wrestlers,” said Wirnsberger. 

“We have numerous Pennsylvania State 

2003-04 Preview 

7 

placewinners on our team this year so 

the present and future looks bright.” 

This year’s freshmen class was 

ranked 14 th by one national 

publication so Wirnsberger and his 

staff know they have plenty of talent to 

work with. 

“I feel we have a good mix of 

experienced wrestlers to go along with 

our youth,” said the second year 

coach. “We have three returning EWL 

place-winners along with two transfers 

who will have to help us develop the 

freshmen.” 

But no matter how talented the 

athlete, Wirnsberger knows they will 

need to step up and be ready to face a 

challenging schedule. 

“I need for our team to mature 

and grow up quickly,” Wirnsberger 

continued. “By facing the type of 

schedule we will face this year, I am 

trying to show our wrestlers how hard 

they have to work in order to become 

an All-American or even a national 

champion. I am confident they can get 

it done.” 

WEIGHT BY WEIGHT LOOK 

125—Mike Collins and Brian Sellers 

will battle for the starting job. Collins 

moved into the starting lineup midway 

through the 2002-03 season after an 

injury forced Brock Hite to the 

sidelines. Justin Thomas and Lou 

Tirado will challenge for time as well 

at this weight. 

133—It’s a two way battle at this weight 

for the starting job between Justin 

Haupt and Bryan Hart. Haupt, was last 

year’s starter, while Hart is a former

PIAA state place-winners. The Huskies 

will be deep at this weight. 

B.J. Mikeska Returns to the Bloomsburg Lineup in 

2003-04. 

141—Brad Forbes and Scott Heckman 

will see time at this weight. Forbes 

started last season at 141 pounds, but 

moved up to 149 pounds during the 

year. Heckman was a three-time PIAA 

state place-winner. Mark Piermattei 

adds depth, 

149—The Huskies will use a true 

freshman, Tyler Williams, at this 

weight. Williams comes to Bloomsburg 

from Illinois where he was a four-time 

Illinois State place-winner, including 

State Champion as a senior. He was 

ranked third in the nation at 145 

pounds after finishing third at the high 

school nationals. Will English and Chris 

Tate will add depth for the Huskies. 

2003-04 Preview 

8 

157—Red-shirt sophomore B.J. 

Mikeska will start for the Huskies. As a 

true freshman, Mikeska won 11 

matches for the Huskies, but used his 

off year to get stronger. He will battle 

for mat time with Josh Loew, another 

PIAA state place-winner. 

165—Ryan Garner, last year’s starter, 

will once again get the nod at this 

weight. Garner was an EWL placewinner 

as well and posted 17 wins 

during the season. Adam Rupert will 

be his backup. 

174—After losing an NCAA qualifier, 

Hunter Guenot, at this weight, 

freshman Nate Shirk will battle with 

Jim Bertulis and Jon Kokinda for mat 

time. 

184—After missing last season with an 

injury, former NCAA qualifier Justin 

Johnson returns to the lineup. Two 

years ago Johnson was an EWL runnerup 

and goes into this season ranked 

11 th in the country. Chad Hoare will 

backup Johnson. 

197—Ryan Chulada will get the nod 

here to start the season. In the second 

half the year, Pat Bennett, a transfer 

from Morrisville, Jr. College in New 

York will battle for time. 

HWT—Two freshmen, Dustin Swartz 

and Shawn Albert, will compete for 

mat time at this weight. Look for either 

one of them on the mat this season.

Since the league was formed in 1976, 

Bloomsburg has enjoyed much success in the 

Eastern Wrestling League, both teamwise and 

individually. The Huskies won the team championship 

in 1981 and 1993 and have never placed 

lower than sixth. Individually, Bloomsburg 

wrestlers have claimed 34 titles. 

The EWL will send 37 representatives to the 

NCAA Division I Tournament in 2003. League 

members include Bloomsburg, Clarion, Cleveland 

State, Edinboro, Lock Haven, Pittsburgh, Virginia 

Tech and West Virginia. 

Bloomsburg wrestlers hold three of the four 

fastest EWL tournament fall times. Heavyweight 

Mel Sharp holds the record with an 18-second 

fall in 1979, while Al McCollum recorded a fall at 

36 seconds in 1981. In 1977, Leszek Radon 

pinned an opponent in 39 seconds.
