On Saturday, February 11, 2017, the King University Tornado women’s wrestling team won its fourth straight WCWA Women’s College Nationals team title, a tremendous achievement which cements the program as the current dynasty in the sport. However, Coach Jason Moorman and his talented squad was not the first to reach this lofty achievement.
The Oklahoma City University Stars, coached by Archie Randall, ran off four straight WCWA women’s team titles from 2009-2012. That group of athletes set the standard for women’s college wrestling programs and produced numerous successful athletes who have made an impact on our sport.
Randall, who ran one of the nation’s top high school programs at El Reno, Okla. was hired to coach the men’s team at Oklahoma City University when it started a wrestling program there. Within a year, Randall was able to get OCU to add the developing sport of women’s freestyle wrestling as a varsity program and the Stars were off and running.
In 2008, the first year of the women’s program, with a team loaded with young talent, OCU placed second at the WCWA Nationals behind the power at the time, University of the Cumberlands, by just one point. The Stars had three individual champions, Briana Conway (138), Melissa Simmons (158) and Carrie Clark (180.5). It was a remarkable start for a program in its rookie season on the women’s circuit.
“Our first tournament, we won. They presented us with the trophy. They made a miscalculation in the points, and we lost by one. When we started the program at OCU, we recruited the top girls. We had about 10 ASICS First Team All-Americans. We went to every state where every top girl was and recruited every top girl in the nation. We had a group of girls who didn’t know each other, from different parts of the U.S., and brought them to one program. They were all talented kids, hard-working kids, dedicated kids, with the same goal, to wrestle and become an Olympian. That was a really good group,” said Randall.
The next year, OCU took a big step by winning the 2009 WCWA Nationals held at Missouri Valley College, led by three individual champions, Michaela Hutchison (121), Tessa Plana (138) and Stefenie Shaw (147). Because of the great depth on the Stars team, they stretched their margin of victory to 31 points over the University of Cumberlands.
“We had a very good solid team, of good girls who wrestled hard. Michaela Hutchison was a special person. Tessa Plana was a freshman and upset Danielle Lappage of Canada, who is on their Olympic team now, which was great. They all worked together real hard. They were close; they were a team that cared about each other. They rented a house next to the school with six bedrooms and nine of them lived there. I think they went three years unbeaten in duals that group,” said Randall.
That 2009 victory started a four-year WCWA championship run by Oklahoma City. The Stars won 17 individual WCWA titles won by 12 different women on their way to women’s college wrestling’s first four-peat. Included were a pair of three-time WCWA individual champions, Hutchison and Brittany Delgado, which matched the record for the most individual titles at that time.
Hutchison came to OCU after making history as a high school wrestler in Alaska. She was the first girl ever to win a state high school championship competing against boys when she captured the 103 pound title for Chugiak High back in 2006. That summer, she also a Junior Nationals champion competing against girls. She made USA Wrestling history as part of the first brother-sister Junior Nationals tandem, as her brother Eli won a Junior National Greco-Roman title that same weekend.
“All of the girls college programs were pretty new. I was going to go to Boise State with my brother and train with him. They don’t have a girls program. I didn’t think the girls programs would fit me. At Fargo my senior year, Coach (Link) Davis coached me and Archie (Randall) coached me as well. I turned around to my dad and said I was going there. Once they coached me together, I decided that was it,” said Hutchison.
Hutchison was a star on all four of the Oklahoma City women’s teams that won consecutive WCWA national titles. She is regarded one of the greatest wrestlers in women’s college history, claiming three national titles and placing second her junior year.
“She went to every match with the focus and idea that she was going to win the match. She was a non-stop competitive kid, who all you do is point her in the direction where to go, and she competes and competes and competes. I wrestled her on the men's team, too. My 125-pounder got hurt, the other one quit and I needed a 125-pounder for duals. I asked if she’d wrestle the guys and she said OK. She wrestled in a men’s Open one week and placed third, and I wrestled her against Bacone. She is a wonderful kid,” said Randall.
Her only WCWA loss came in the finals of the 2011 WCWA Nationals to a star who eventually won four WCWA titles, Helen Maroulis of Simon Fraser. Maroulis went on to become the first U.S. woman to win an Olympic wrestling gold medal with her historic run to gold at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
“I was motivated to be the best in the country, no matter what. I improved on certain points of my wrestling. I had a successful career and it’s crazy that it is gone already,” said Hutchison.
Delgado provided a fantastic anchor for the OCU lineup, dominating opponents in the upper weight classes, which not only made them difficult in dual meets but also was something they could count upon in tournaments.
“She could wrestle. The biggest thing about Brittany is that she is just flat mean. She wasn’t afraid to wrestle anybody. Her biggest competitor at the time was a big, tall, six-foot girl from Simon Fraser. Brittany just basically out-wrestled her and out-toughed her. Brittany was real tough,” said Randall.
For the 2011 season, one of the greatest women wrestlers in the world came to Oklahoma City to compete, nine-time World medalist and two-time World champion Kristie Davis. (Wrestling fans may remember her by her maiden name, Kristie Stenglein, or her name from a first marriage, Kristie Marano). During her record-setting wrestling career, Kristie had not completed her college education. She married OCU assistant wrestling coach Link Davis, moved to Oklahoma City, and decided to compete while pursuing a nursing degree.
“Link made me go back to school and get my education. Wrestling came about because I always want to get back in shape after I had (daughter) Lilly. Once again, I fell back into what I knew how to do,” said Kristie Davis.
Davis was not just a teammate for the younger women on the program. It was like having another coach in the room. She steamrolled the college competition on the way to a pair of WCWA national titles in 2011 and 2012, the only two years that she wrestled in college.
“She was well accepted. They used to call her mama all the time, Mama Davis. She was easy to coach, worked hard the whole time, and all she did was make us better. You could never tell that she was that decorated of an athlete. There were no attitude problems. Kristie Davis came in and worked,” said Randall.
The experience of being part of a women’s college team was new for Davis, but something that worked out well for her and for her teammates.
“It was fun. I wish I had that opportunity when I was coming out of high school and going into college. I got to experience wrestling for a team and winning national championships. I enjoyed helping all the girls and wrestling on that team,” said Davis.
Davis developed a respect for many of her teammates, especially Hutchison who was a consistent leader on all four national champion teams.
“She was fantastic. She was a great leader. She was an exceptional athlete. Michaela was always pushing us. Even for me, when I was in class, I looked over and a girl, who was 10 years younger than me, was pushing me through class, pushing me through practices. She was always there in every aspect,” said Davis.
The 2012 Oklahoma City championship team ranks as one of the greatest teams in women’s college wrestling history. The team won six individual gold medals and beat runner-up King College by an amazing 50 points. Hutchison and Delgado won their third titles, Davis won her second, and the other individual champions were Emily Webster (101), Joey Miller (116) and Jennifer Page (143).
Webster was a freshman, and went on to become only the third four-time WCWA national champion when she ran the table at 101 for four straight seasons.
“Emily fit into that mold that we tried to recruit, hard-working, dedicated kids who always strived for success. She wasn’t getting recruited by anybody because they said she was already going to Missouri Valley. She had gone to all of their camps. I called her dad and told him that we were interested. He said nobody was calling them. I put the old recruiting pitch on, and she was there. For her, the whole deal was about academics. She was a 4.0 chemistry student,” said Randall.
“We used to do workouts together. It was outside of the science building. We were doing a cross-fit circuit. People came out of the building and said ‘you are so crazy out here doing that stuff.’ Emily was my little workout buddy. We still talk,” said Hutchison.
Beyond the coaching staff, it took leadership from within the program to maintain the level of excellence it took to dominate all comers. Hutchison was a leader in her own way, but she had many others who stepped up for the team.
“Some people lean toward different leaders. Different parts of the team were led by different people. Brittany Delgado was a bigger girl and was a leader. Brittany Roberts was one year behind me, she was a leader. Melissa Simmons was a year ahead of me, and she was a natural leader. Ashley Hudson was a leader who people followed. Tessa Plana was another leader,” said Hutchison.
When talking to people involved in the program, one consistent message was given. The OCU women athletes trained hard and pushed each other. It was a living example of how iron sharpens iron. Practice was a true battlefield, so when it came time for competition, they were ready.
“Talk about intensity at practice. They would beat each other up. That girls team was like coaching a men’s team. You had to stop them from fighting with each other every day. They were very aggressive,” said Randall.
“I think it was that we beat the crap out of each other. We didn’t want to give each other a takedown. The coaches pushed us further than we wanted to go, for sure. We did more sprints than I could ever imagine doing. Mentally, we were pushed because on the mat, we knew we had done the work and now was the time to let it go. Overall, we wanted to prove we worked our butts off and we did more than anybody else,” said Hutchison.
“We were solid all around. Coach Randall and Davis went all over to get them matches. If they were decent wrestlers, by the end of the season, they became great wrestlers. They basically fought it out in practice. The success came out of that room. They worked hard,” said Davis.
Academics was also important and another way for these women to show their competitiveness.
“Everybody worked hard in the classroom. We always had goals as a team to get the highest GPA of all teams, as well. Sometimes we met that goal. I can’t remember how many of the years. And it was a constant competition with the boys, to always do better than the boys team,” said Hutchison.
Another aspect of success was the expectation that the team had for itself, and they held each other accountable. Winning became something that became normal for this team.
“We worked out butts off, and had one vision and one mindset. There wasn’t any room for pettiness. Most of the time, we could just talk about things. We were close and it was a small team that communicated real well,” said Hutchison.
So, what does it take to four-peat? Hutchison, Randall and Davis have their own perspective on that.
“It seemed easy to us, because we didn’t think it was a big deal. We just put our shoes on a week later. Every day was two-a-days. We would just get back out there. It didn’t seem like a big deal for us to win, one at a time. Right now, I can’t imagine a team winning four in a row, but when you take them one at a time, it makes more sense,” said Hutchison.
“It is a conglomeration of all these things you try to put together and you keep focused on to keep the team together. A lot of people don’t understand. You have individual champions and all-Americans, but in order to win the team race, the team has to be together as one unit. Jason (Moorman) has done a good job the last four years at King of having that team concept. The next thing you have to have is some luck. King beat us a few years ago by one point, because we couldn’t win one of seven third-place matches and we were favored in five of them. You need some luck to make that kind of run, also. Jason is a good coach and does a good job,” said Randall.
“Once the girls realized that you can win a championship and what it takes to get there, I don’t think you settle for less. You are always coming back hungry. You always want to continue to win. You make that the challenge for the team. I am sure King does it too. You just go in and work hard. They don’t want anybody to take that championship away from them,” said Davis.
