The Centenary College Wrestling team began as a club team founded by Professor
Robert Quade in 1990. The team stayed as a club team until 1998, when it became
recognized as an NCAA Division III Team. In the past 7 years the team has seen much
success on and off the mats. They are Defending Metropolitan Conference Champions
winning the title in 2011, and 2012, along with being 2013 East Regional

Champions, a 2013 NWCA
National Duals 3rd place winners. They have been ranked as high as 3rd in the Country
and in the top 20 five of the last six years. They got their first All-American in 2010
Will Livingston 3rd in the Country. Since then, seven more have been named Chris Burdge
2011-2012, Will Livingston 2011, Tim Lutke 2011, and JD Zitone 2012. JD Zitone is
the only wrestler to hold both Academic, and Athletic All-American Honors, which he
did in 2012. Last year was another mile stone year for the team, as they won their
East Regional Championship, and got 3 more All-Americans. JD Zitone Two time All-American,
2 Time Academic All-American, and National Finalist, Chris Burdge Centenary's only 3 time
All-American, and Academic All-American, and Owen Vernon ended up on the podium as well
placing sixth in the Country. The search is still on for the first National Champion! "WHO WILL IT BE"
