Farewell to Eight Mount Men...

The 2006-2007 wrestling season is in the record books, and it is time to bid farewell to an extremely talented group of Seniors as they move on to college pursuits and the challenges of adult life. Collectively, these seniors made their contributions to MSJ's legacy of wrestling excellence—academic achievement—sportsmanship—and citizenship. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. Thank you for the memories... and thank you for the fine examples that you have left for your team mates who remain behind at the Mount. The MSJ Family of parents, coaches, faculty, siblings and fans wishes the best to each and every one of you as you make your ways to new challenges in new places... like the Naval Academy, Merchant Marine Academy, Bowie State University, Anne Arundel Community College, Catonsville Community College, Morgan State University and West Point!

Go Gaels—Study Hard—Work Hard—Help Others—Fight—Win!

Austin Clouse—MSJ '07

Austin finished his high school wrestling career as a 4X All American... with a clinch place finish at the Beast of the East in his senior year.

Austin Clouse (112) is off to the U.S. Naval Academy via a prep year at Wyoming Seminary where he will wrestle for Coach John Gordon. Austin finished his senior year as Team Co-Captain with a 2007 record of 36-11 (14 pins). Austin spent his Freshman year on the Navy Junior Wrestling team because he was not heavy enough to wrestle 103 lbs in high school. Wrestling Freestyle & Greco with the Maryland National Team that summer, Austin placed 7th at the Cadet Nationals in Fargo at 84lbs. He broke into the varsity line-up at MSJ toward the very end of his Sophomore year—placing 6th at MIAA's, 8th at National Preps—and going 15-7 that year. As a junior, Austin placed 2nd at Colonial Forge, 1st at MIAA, 2nd at MIS and 7th at National Preps. He finished his senior year placing 2nd at War on the Shore, 3rd at Mount Mat Madness, 8th at Beast of the East, 2nd at Colonial Forge, 1st at MIAA, 2nd at MIS and 5th at National Preps.

Austin's high school career record was 84--35. He was on the 2006 Baltimore Sun All-Metro Second Team, 2007 Baltimore Sun and Baltimore Examiner All-Metro First Team, and 2007 Baltimore Sun All City First Team. Austin was also a 2X Maryland State Champion in Freestyle and Greco-Roman.

Austin has no bigger fan than his sister Holly McDonald Clouse (GMU '10) who introduced him to the sport of crew (rowing) and taught him how to be a coxswain (cox'n). Holly's women's four boat beat Austin's men's four in a close race on the Potomac River in 2005. But while they are fierce competitors, Holly is always there to cheer Austin on to victory—and vice versa. Austin came up through the Navy Junior Wrestling program—coached by Division 1 All Americans Wayne Hicks and Kelly Ward. Austin took his leadership responsibility seriously, and was a hard working, good natured and determined wrestler who was always there to cheer on his fellow team mates and uphold the spirit and integrity of the Mount. Good luck, Austin boy!

Jack Traut—MSJ '07

Jack with his mother, Lee Ann at Senior Night celebration. You could not find a more ardent supporter of the MSJ Wrestling Team.

Jack Traut (130) is off to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy via a prep year at the New Mexico Military Institute. Jack began his wrestling career at MSJ in his junior year—nailing down the 130lb spot on the Junior Varsity. An elbow injury late in the season ended Jack's wrestling career—so he turned a negative into a positive and picked up the digital camera and became the team photographer...lugging camera bag and extension cord from tournament to tournament...flipping through the library of discs and getting the camera going for each match with seconds to spare...and adding prolific commentary to each recording! Jack's most famous exhortation to a team mate needing an escape was, "House on Fire Kevin, House on Fire!" ...at 140 decibels:-D Jack's parents have been consistently strong supporters of Jack and fund raising activities like the Mount Mat Madness and MIAA food concessions.

You could say that Jack was actually the spirit of the team in 2006 and 2007. He always had something humorous or positive working...he was always the first to offer words of encouragement to a team mate who had just lost a match...he was very good at always keeping the sunny side up. Jack was not a star—on the wrestling mat...but he certainly was (and is) a star—off the mat! Good luck at USMMA, Jack!

Ira Cunningham—MSJ '07

Ira Cunningham was named Most Improved Junior Varsity Wrestler in his Junior Year.

Ira Cunningham (135) is off to the Bowie State University. Ira began his wrestling career at MSJ in his Junior year—earning the 135lb spot on the Junior Varsity. Ira was awarded Most Improved Junior Varsity Wrestler for the 2005-2006 season and made good progression through his senior year. Ira often had additional challenges of balancing wrestling with an after school job and his studies. Good luck at Bowie State, Ira!

Pat Lloyd—MSJ '07

Pat is a hard worker...a morale builder...and an avid competitor!

Pat Lloyd (145) is off to the Catonsville Community College. Pat began his wrestling career at MSJ in his Freshman year—nailing down the 130lb spot on the Junior Varsity, he improved more and more each year winning the JV end of year tournament his senior year. With that tournament, Pat thought his high school wrestling career was complete, but an injury left a hole in the varsity line up at 145 at the MIAA tournament. Pat jumped at the chance to wrestle and gave it everything he had. Pat missed placing by one match—and won admiration and praise from his coaches and team mates for his hard work and determination. His varsity record was 2-2.

Pat was a major contributor to team spirit and morale throughout his high school career. Like his team mate Jack Traut, he always had something humorous or positive working...he was always the first to offer words of encouragement to a team mate who had just lost a tough match...he was very good at always keeping the sunny side up. Pat's parents have been consistently strong supporters of fund raising activities like the Mount Mat Madness and MIAA food concessions. Congratulations Pat...and good luck at CCC!

Chris King—MSJ '07

Chris King crowned his high school career with a 7th place finish at National Preps for All American honors.

Chris King (152) is off to Catonsville Community College... finishing his Senior year at MSJ with a record of 38-14 (17 pins).

In a 2005 dual meet with #1 ranked MSJ trailing #3 ranked Archbishop Curley, Chris's takedown in the last 51 seconds secured a 3-1 decision over Brent Hooper that sparked three straight wins in a 41-26 victory over Curley. His HS career record was 83-55 with the following honors: 2X MIAA Champion, MIS Runner Up and a 7th place finish at National Preps.

Jake has earned several Outstanding Wrestler awards in his high school career, including two this year: MIAA OW and MIS Senior Achievement. Jake comes from an outstanding wrestling legacy. His father Vince Bohn wrestled at MSJ under Coach Neil Adleberg and was a Maryland State Champion in 1976. Jake has an extremely strong family support structure, headed by grandmothers Jeanne Bohn & Mary Cavey, sister Sarah, brother Austin and Mom Diane who have all been steadfast supporters of the MSJ wrestling team for generations. Jake's wrestling capabilities have been compared to former MSJ great Mack Lewnes ...and Jake's shadow also will loom large in the MSJ Wrestling Room for years to come. Good luck at West Point, Jake!
