OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City University has added state champion Madelynn McIlwain of Washougal, Wash., and Brittany Goebel of Lena, Ill., to its women's wrestling program.
Goebel and McIlwain join Kristi Garr of Goodrich, Mich., as OCU signees for 2010-11. OCU won its second consecutive WCWA national title and third consecutive NWCA National Duals crown this season.
McIlwain won a state championship at 112 pounds as a high school senior. McIlwain put together a record of 31-4 with 28 pins. She qualified for the state tournament as a sophomore and junior. McIlwain placed eighth in the Girls Folkstyle Nationals at OCU.
“Madelynn will make a great addition to our team at 51 kilograms,” OCU coach Archie Randall said. “This is a weight that we are trying to increase competition in.”
Goebel is a two-time USGWA national champion. She compiled a record of 42-72 in her four-year career in high school.
“Brittany Goebel will be one of the girls challenging for the spot at 67 kilograms,” Randall said. “She is already a Junior Nationals runner-up and USAW Folkstyle national champion.”
