Wrestling USA Magazine, Utah Wrestlers of the Year

Outstanding Wrestler for All Divisions 2007–2008
 

Jason Chamberlain
Springville High School, 140 lbs.
GPA: 3.75

School Classification: 4A (900 enrolled)
 

Chamberlain comes from a family with a long history in wrestling, and he is the best.  He is a slick technician who never loses his head, regardless of the situation.  It's this maturity, far beyond his years, that makes all the difference.  He is patient and waits for his openings and opportunities.  And it's certainly paid off.  He has had two undefeated seasons prior to high school, has an interscholastic record that of 191-2 with 98 Pins in four years of high school wrestling, and is a two-time USA Wrestling National Champion (in Fargo at Junior Nationals in 2007 in freestyle, and in Wisconsin in Greco-Roman as a schoolboy).  His freshman year proved out as expected, taking only one loss, but winning his first state title.  His sophomore year turned out just as amazing.  At state that year, he won his second state title in a tournament that had people saying that he was the best in the state, pound for pound, teching every opponent while only allowing three points to be scored against him.  As a junior, his state tournament was even more dominant, with him pinning every opponent, finishing with Greg Nielson of Mt. Crest, who had only lost four matches that season.  As a senior, he walked through the state tournament yet again, pinning every opponent until the finals, where he beat Pineview's Matt McDonald (himself a very tough adversary, only having lost two matches this season prior to meeting Chamberlain) by technical fall, with a score of 23-8.  adding his name to that very exclusive list of four-time state champions.  To top it off, he was named the 2008 Dave Schultz High School Excellence National Award by the National Wrestling Hall of Fame & Museum (only the second Utahn to have ever received this honor), and was named TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week for May 27–June 2, 2008.  He set the Utah record for the most high-school career wins, with 191 (breaking the previous record of 144 set by Andrew Hochstrasser).
