Castro Announces Addition of Duren to Wrestling Roster

April 24, 2007
Lynchburg, Va.

Liberty University Head Wrestling Coach Jesse Castro has announced the addition of Warren County standout Joshua Duren to the Flames’ 2007-08 wrestling team roster.

Duren was a four-year letterwinner at Warren County High School in Warrenton, Mo., where he posted a 128-34 career record (79.0 winning percentage). Duren is a three-time team captain and Warren County’s first three-time state medalist.

I've modified ATRAIN's thread to include all the newbies. Been sitting on this story for a week and just didn't get the time to post it. Here's the rest of the list from Intermat

Chandler Wiseman .... (Barrington, IL)............. 141/149
Josh Duren ................ (Warrenton, MO)........... 149/157
Julian Colon .............. (East Petersburg, PA)... 157
Justin Krop ................ (Urbana, MD)................. 141
Pat Hogan ................. (Southern Maine)........... 184

Obviously, Coach is addressing the weakness at the middle weights, though it should be noted that this was an EXTRAORDINARY first season back!

pumped for the fall, baby!

I'll look these guys up to see what we can find on them.

For starters: Duren had alot of 2nds and 3rd, I believe was also an honorable mention for his county. Offhand I'd grade him a "B", but haven't had much time to look him up.
