Hannibal, MO – The Hannibal-LaGrange University wrestling program is pleased to have signed Cody Bergquist from Allendale, MI. Bergquist will graduate from Allendale High School in May of 2011.
Bergquist goes down in history as the first signee for newly renamed Hannibal-Lagrange University and the 2011 HLGU recruiting class. Bergquist has wrestled at heavyweight for his entire career for the Allendale Falcons. Bergquist has garnered a 48-19 record and with a Junior year season record of 31-13. After not competing in his sophomore season Bergquist made it to the OK Silver Conference finals and finished in second place last season.
“Last summer I got a chance to know Cody at our Trojan Wrestling Camp and was impressed with his character and hard work. With Cody’s MHSAA All-State Academic honors he has demonstrated that he is solid academically and will be likely to have the grades to help fill a spot at heavyweight that we have struggled to fill over the last two seasons. Big men are hard to come by and I‘m excited to see Bergquist develop into a solid heavyweight in college”, said HLGU Head Wrestling Coach Scott Hawes.
Along with Bergquist’s wrestling accomplishment he has also excelled in football and has been recognized as an OK Silver All-Conference center for Allendale High School football.
Bergquist will be majoring in Bible at HLGU.
Bergquist is the son of Keith and Lisa Bergquist.
HLG is a Division I NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) school and a member of the American Midwest Conference
