St. Edward wrestler Jamie Clark

Jamie Clark

St. Edward senior wrestler Jamie Clark, a two-time state champion who originally committed to Iowa State, instead will wrestle for Illinois.

Clark, ranked No. 1 nationally by Amateur Wrestling News in the 119-pound weight class, last winter committed to Iowa State, where four-time NCAA champ Cael Sanderson was coaching. When Sanderson left for Penn State, Clark changed his mind. Illinois is coached by two-time St. Edward state champ Jim Heffernan (1981-82).

Two other Eagles senior wrestlers announced their college decisions Tuesday. Two-time state runner-up Nick Sulzer (152 pounds) has chosen Virginia, while state third-placer Anthony Salupo (135) will attend Lehigh.
Sulzer, 40-3 last season, was a Junior National freestyle champion this past summer. Salupo, 43-4 last season, clinched the Eagles' 13th consecutive state team title last season with his third-place victory over Scott Mattingly of Uniontown Lake.
