Jason Chamberlain has logged a lot of miles to become a better wrestler.

"It's tough to find good workout partners where I live, so after high school practice I drive 50 miles every day to Salt Lake City," said Chamberlain, a senior at Springville High School in Utah. "I work out at the Vandit Wrestling Club. I've been going there since I was in sixth grade."

Chamberlain is now a senior and recently completed his scholastic career with a fourth consecutive Class AAAA title. Take one look at his 191-2 career record and it's easy to see why Chamberlain has been chosen for The Dapper Dan Wrestling Classic March 15 at the University of Pittsburgh's Fitzgerald Field House.

"The drive to Salt Lake City takes one hour each way, but it's worth it," said Chamberlain. "You have to be willing to put in the extra time to be a champion."

Utah is not considered a hotbed for scholastic or collegiate wrestling but does boast one of the most successful wrestling families in the country. The Sanderson brothers (Cael, Cole and Cody) are all Dapper Dan Wrestling Classic alumni.

"The Sandersons father told me about The Dapper Dan two years ago," Chamberlain said. "He told me that if I ever get a chance to wrestle in The Classic, don't miss that opportunity. I was freaking out when I got the letter in January. It's the coolest thing to be chosen for a prestigious event like The Classic."

Chamberlain claimed his first Utah state title as a 112-pound freshman and finished with an impressive 48-1 record. He moved to 125 for his sophomore season and posted a 50-1 record en route to his second title. Chamberlain moved to 140 last season and has since recorded 93 consecutive wins and claimed two more titles.

"I can't wait for my appearance at The Classic," said Chamberlain, who is ranked No. 1 in the country by Wrestling International Newsmagazine at 140 pounds. "I'm anxious to find out who I'm wrestling."

The Classic Selection Committee will meet tomorrow night, after the PIAA finals, to chose its Pennsylvania and WPIAL all-stars.

Two others on the United States team are B.J. Futrell (147-18) a two-time Illinois champion who is entered at 112 and Thomas Williams (179-17) a California champion who is competing at 119.

The U.S. All-Star team will face Pennsylvania's All-Star team at 7:30 p.m. in the feature match. A team of WPIAL All-Stars will face a Wisconsin All-Star team at 5:30 p.m. in the preliminary match.
