Currently ranked sixth in the state of Illinois, Pousson is a two-time conference champion, regional champion, three-time sectional qualifier, and a state qualifier. In addition to his high school accomplishments, Pousson has a list of club awards to add to his list. For 2005, he was the Freestyle state champion and Greco state runner-up. For 2006, he was the Freestyle state third-place winner and the State Farm Midwest National Champion. For 2007, he was the U.S. Army National Champion. "Chicago has a lot of good wrestling going on up there and it is good that we are starting to get some serious looks and commitments from the wrestlers," said McNamara. -siue cougars- |
