Wrestling: Chamberlain Earns National
Honor
STILLWATER, Okla. — Springville senior
Jason Chamberlain has been selected as the national winner
of the 2008 Dave Schultz High School Excellence National
Award presented by the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and
Museum.
The award is named in honor of Olympic and
World Champion Dave Schultz. Each award recipient is
evaluated on excellence in wrestling, scholastic
achievement, character, citizenship, and community
service. Chamberlain was selected from the 49 state
winners and five regional winners that were announced
earlier this week.
"I was shocked when they told me I had
been selected," Chamberlain said. "There are so many good
wrestlers, to be selected is such an honor."
His career record of 191-2 includes 98
pins and four state championships. He has served as a
teachers aid in Sports Medicine classes and as a volunteer
youth leader at his local church. He has spent numerous
volunteer hours coaching and officiating youth wrestling
activities, and was a camp counselor for the Rulon Gardner
summer camp. He carries a 3.75 GPA and will be attending
Boise State next fall. He is projected to wrestle at 141
pounds in college.
Chamberlain will attend Honors Weekend on
May 30-31 to accept the award.
