The North Dakota State Bison Wrestling team is part of the athletic program at the North Dakota State University (NDSU) in Fargo, North Dakota. They are members of the NCAA Division I and the Big 12 Conference (NDSU's main conference, The Summit League, does not sponsor wrestling). The Bison are coached by Roger Kish. ==History== NDSU wrestling began in 1957 when head coach Tom Neuberger led the team to victory in their first dual meet against Valley City State University. Neuberger passed the coaching reins to Bucky Maughan in 1964. Since that time, NDSU has won four NCAA Division II wrestling titles, 30 individual national champions, and 159 All-Americans.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gobison.com/documents/2013/10/17/NDSUWrestlingQuickFacts13-14.pdf )〕 The first National Champions were Bob Backlund and Bill Demaray in 1971. The team has since transitioned to NCAA Division I and were first eligible for the Division I National Tournament in 2007. The Bison have had only two permanent head wrestling coaches in their fifty year history. Tom Nueberger coached the team from 1957-1963. During that time, Don Lemnus serve as acting coach in 1961. In 1964 National Wrestling Hall of Fame member Bucky Maughan took over the program and led the team through four Division II titles and NDSU's transition to Division I. On May 17, 2011 Bucky Maughan announced his retirement. His replacement is Roger Kish, who was a two-time All-American at the University of Minnesota. In 2013-14, the Bison wrestlng team had its best season to date as a Division I school. The team reached its highest ranking of 20th in the USA Today polls and finished 21st in the national championship. Steven Monk finished third at the NCAA championships at 165 pounds. Monk was the eighth Bison wrestler to earn All-American status and the second since the school completed its transition to Division I, after Trent Sprenkle, who finished fifth at the 125 pound weight class in 2013. In 2015, Hayden Zillmer (6th at 184) and Kurtis Julson (8th at 174) were the only two WWC athletes to earn All-America honors. After the season, it was announced that NDSU and other WWC schools would merge with the Big 12 Conference. The McCormick Wrestling Complex was completely renovated in 2000 with funding from longtime NDSU booster John L. McCormick. One of the premier wrestling practice facilities in the country, it offers 6,300 square feet of space on the second level of the Bison Sports Arena, including a cardiovascular training room and a team lounge with video equipment. The cardio room is equipped with cross trainers, a treadmill, exercise bikes, weights and television. The video room features state-of-the-art equipment, computers, stereo, television and meeting room capabilities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nmnathletics.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=2400&ATCLID=69837 )〕 *(-acting) Home meets are held at the Bison Sports Arena in Fargo.
