CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Rarely a day goes by when Nathan and Matthew Lackman don’t talk on the phone or exchange texts and discuss their wrestling at college that are states apart. Friday they got to meet face to face, and both faces were covered with smiles.
Nathan Lackman, a sophomore at Rhode Island College, and Matthew, a sophomore at Alvernia, both picked up a pair of wins Friday at the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships to advance to Saturday’s semifinals. Neither can finish any lower than sixth place.
“We always knew we had the potential, but having each other to push, having each other to text – he’s in Pennsylvania and I’m in Rhode Island – having each other to rely and text on the weekends, how we did and stuff,” Nathan said.
Friday, Nathan was able to watch the last portion of his brother’s 5-0 win against Gabe Fiser of Loras after his own 10-0 win against Jeff Johnson of New Jersey City University. Later in the day, while Matt pinned Jaden Datz of Washington & Jefferson in 6:56 in the quarterfinals, Nathan defeated sixth-seeded Nolan Hertel of Wisconsin-La Crosse 5-3.
“Both are amazing,” Nathan, the third seed at 157 pounds, said after the brothers won first-round matches just moments apart. “It’s always the goal to win, but having two brothers win is even better.”
Matt agreed.
“It’s awesome competing with Nate in the same arena,” said Matt, whose wins made him the first wrestling All-American in the history of Alvernia College. “It’s good to be able to show everybody on the national level what we’ve been working toward.”
The brothers have been working toward it for a long time.
“We trained all summer together, and even since we were 5 and 6 years old we trained together,” Nathan said.
“Just having a brother you’re so close with to wrestle with in practice that sets your partner apart from other partner it’s like a special bond we share,” Matthew said.
While their friendship is close and their current career paths are similar, they haven’t always mirrored one another on the mat.
Nathan, a 2019 graduate of Bethlehem Catholic High School in Pennsylvania, had trouble breaking into the lineup for. The only year he really made a dent in the lineup was as a junior. Meanwhile, Matt, a 2020 graduate, won 25 or more matches three years in a row and palced third in the Pennsylvania Class AAA state tournament as a senior.
Both have blossomed at the college level.
“I think I adjusted to my right weight class and grew into my frame and what I was supposed to be,” Nathan said. “I found the appropriate weight class and I found my style.”
Neither one is surprised by their success
“We both knew we had a shot when we saw our names in the rankings,” Nathan said. “Since the beginning of the season. I know me and Matthew knew how good we were.
Just keep scoring the points, one match at a time, just keep that short-term memory and on to the next.”
While the Lackmans got to enjoy their All-America status as brothers, there were extra special reasons for others to celebrate, too. For wrestlers from Averett. Castleton and Southern Virginia it was because like Matthew Lackman, they were able to become their schools’ first wrestling All-Americans.
James Rodriguez of Castleton did by winning wrestleback matches at 141, the same as Averett’s Samuel Braswell at 125 and Southern Virginia’s Nico Ramirez at heavyweight.
Meanwhile Averett’s Brandon Woody ensured his place in school history by knocking off seeded wrestlers in the first round and quarterfinals at 141 pounds.
“I can believe it,” Woody said. “Before the day started, I said I’m a senior and this is my last ride. I’ve got to give it all I’ve got, whatever it takes to win.”
That approach on the mats allowed him to rally for a 7-4 win against seventh-seeded Sam Stuhl in the first round before he knocked off second-seeded Jimmy McAuliffe of Elmhurst 7-6 in the quarterfinals
Wartburg used a businesslike approach to build a 13-point lead over Augsburg, 58-45, at the top of the team standings.
The Knights didn’t pile up a lot of bonus points but went 7-for-7 in the first round, then won all but one of their seven quarterfinals to advance six wrestlers into Saturday morning’s semifinals.
“The end result is good,” Wartburg Coach Eric Keller said after the opening session. “Seven-and-zero was our goal, but that wasn’t how we drew it up.”
Brady Kyner (125 pounds), Zayren Terukina (141), Kristian Rumph (149), David Hollingsworth (157), Zane Mulder (174) and Kyle Briggs (184) advanced to the semifinals, and Joe Pins (133) won his wrestleback and also earned a spot on the awards stand.
There was almost a rarity in the opening. It appeared that no No. 1 seeds would get knocked off in the first round. Until heavyweight, the highest seed to fall was No. 2 Dominick Reyes of Johns Hopkins, who lost 6-3 to Coe’s Will Esmoil at 165.
But a top seed finally went down at heavyweight when North Central’s Robby Bates beat No. 1 Max Bishop of Wabash 3-2 on a riding-time point for a 6-second advantage in the 30-second tiebreakers.
Three second-seeded wrestlers were dispatched into the wrestlebacks in the quarterfinals. Carlos Champagne of Wabash beat Braswell 7-0 at 125, Woody beat McAuliffe at 141 and seventh-seeded Donovan King of Olivet pinned Coe’s Kaleb Reeves in 55 seconds at heavyweight.
