NSIC RELEASE ST. PAUL, Minn. - Former Southwest Minnesota State University wrestler Scott Dubbelde will be inducted into the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Hall of Fame on Wednesday, July 14, in St. Cloud, Minn. The NSIC office made the announcement on Monday. Dubbelde, a native of Pipestone, Minn., set a goal for his collegiate career after he won the 1979 Minnesota State Wrestling Championship at 145 pounds. His goal was to be an All-America wrestler at Southwest State University and in the 1979-80 season he began that journey. Dubbelde finished second in the NIC in 1980 and qualified for the NAIA national tournament. In 1981 and 1982 he took home first place NIC honors at 158 and 167 pounds and again made nationals, but did not finish high enough for All-America status. ]]>Mon, 21 Jun 2010 12:58:54 GMThttp://www.smsumustangs.com/news/2010/4/30/WREST_0430105446.aspxWrestling
