And now he has even less. . The senior-to-be crossed ; off yet another goal from his lengthy list recently, this time it was the grand-daddy grand-daddy of wrestling, the USA Wrestling National Tournament in Fargo, N.D. Last Thursday he wrapped up his first ever national freestyle championship in the 135-pound weight class. "I've won different national na-tional tournaments but this is the toughest one. It's been known as the toughest tough-est HS tournament in the nation," Chamberlain said. "I think for the most part this is pretty much the most you can do in high school" Not only did Chamberlain Chamber-lain get the monkey of winning-the tournament off of his back, but he did it by finally beating longtime long-time nemesis Norman Richmond from Oregon in the final. Prior to that, Richmond had won four matches in a row against Chamberlain, including the championship match in Greco-Roman earlier. This time around, not only did Chamberlain beat Richmond, but he did so easily, winning 5-1, 5-0, in the best 2-of-3 rounds freestyle free-style scoring format. "Before I wrestled him, my coach said this is what we've worked. all year for," Chamberlain said. "I figured out how to wrestle him a little bit better. Before, Be-fore, I was cautious, but this year I just did what I Utah combined trails meeting scheduled A meeting of the Utah Combined Trails Council Coun-cil (UCTC) is scheduled Wednesday, Aug. 8 from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Utah State Parks Conference Room at the Department of Natural Resources, 1594 W.

Although defeating Richmond Rich-mond in the final proved to be egsier than expected, getting to. that point was anything but easy. In his first match of the unseeded tournament, Chamberlain had to face off with Matt Bryan, an All-American from Oklahoma Okla-homa who took third in the tournament last year. After Af-ter beating Bryan, Chamberlain Cham-berlain cruised through to win his next eight matches to advance to his pool final against New Jersey's Max Shanaman, which proved to be his toughest match. In the first period Shanaman Shana-man got the first takedown, take-down, but Chamberlain fought back to get a last-second last-second takedown to win the period 1-1 (tiebreaker goes to the wrestler who scores last). Shanaman dominated the second period pe-riod and took it 4-1 to force Chamberlain's only three-period three-period match.

Chamberlain held on to win the match and ad-, vance to the final. "I just kind of wore him down and squeaked it out," Chamberlain said. The championship fulfilled ful-filled a lifetime goal of Chamberlain's, one for which he has worked tirelessly tire-lessly year around. "I wrestle probably eight or nine months out of the year and if I'm not wrestling wres-tling I'm running or lifting weights to get ready for when I do have to wrestle," he said. "I work all year long, mostly for this tournament tour-nament that I just won. Sometimes I tell people I'm going to tournaments and they're like, 'I thought wrestling was over,' and I tell them that it's just starting." start-ing."

However, How-ever, financial donations flowed in from Springville, Mapleton and throughout the state which enabled him to compete. "I don't know how we made it happen, but I guess enough people helped me," he said. "I'd just like to thank all the people that helped me. There were a lot of people I didn't even know who sent money anonymously." The tournament .win goes to further enhance Chamberlain's already illustrious il-lustrious resume, which by February could also include four-time state champion. With every tournament win and state championship, champion-ship, Chamberlain further entrenches himself as one of the state's best wrestlers wres-tlers ever. 1 - .. . .- -A .. 10- " ".V..
