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.
