Carlton Haselrig, a Johnstown, Pa. native, is the most decorated athlete in Pitt Johnstown history. Mr. Haselrig won six heavyweight NCAA National Wrestling championships—three at the Division I level and three at the Division II level. Mr. Haselrig holds five Pitt Johnstown all-time wrestling records, as well as an overall career record of 143-2-1, which equates to a .979 winning percentage. Mr. Haselrig never lost a match in the Division I National Tournament (15-0 record and three titles), and he never lost or tied a Division II opponent. His six titles were unprecedented and will remain so because the NCAA no longer allows wrestlers to compete in both division tournaments. Also, during his Pitt Johnstown tenure, Mr. Haselrig grappled his way to an NCAA record of 122 consecutive matches without suffering a loss. In 2005, Mr. Haselrig was named to the NCAA 75th Anniversary Wrestling Team, which included other notable heavyweights, such as NCAA and Olympic champion Kurt Angle, who Mr. Haselrig had defeated during his college wrestling career. While in high school, however, Mr. Haselrig was forced to wrestle freestyle during the summer because a high school wrestling program was not available to him. But, after taking an interest in Mr. Haselrig’s career, several local individuals convinced Greater Johnstown School Board to allow Mr. Haselrig to represent Johnstown High as an independent “one-man team” as a senior. He posted a 10-0 record and won the Pennsylvania AAA State Heavyweight Title. In 1989, Mr. Haselrig was a 12th-round draft pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he went on to be selected as a Pro Bowl offensive lineman without ever having played college football. Mr. Haselrig currently is training and managing mixed martial arts fighters and wrestlers at Cold Steel MMA & Wrestling in Johnstown. He also is involved with youth wrestling and football in the greater Johnstown area. Mr. Haselrig and his wife Michelle reside in Johnstown. The Haselrigs have nine children: Cameron (18), Jordan (18), Demetrius (17), Jade (16), William (15), Cortez (11), Cantara (10), Carlton, Jr. (8) and Carlee (6). .

John Madden, Hall of Fame Football Coach
"I would have all of my Offensive Lineman wrestle if I could." - John Madden, Hall of Fame Football Coach "Well-respected by coaches and teammates for his tough, aggressive nature (comes from his prep wrestling background)" - NFL Draft Scout on Alex Stepanovich "One of the messages Denney hopes to relay to the Valley high school coaches and athletes is that wrestling is the perfect complement to football. While football is in its offseason, wrestling provides the perfect opportunity for the athletes to remain active, while working on their agility and conditioning, Denney said. Shawhan can attest to Denney’s theory, also having an extensive gridiron background. Along with playing semi-pro football, Shawhan also has years of being an assistant football coach throughout the Rio Grande Valley (Mission High, Harlingen High, PSJA High, McAllen Memorial and McHi). "In Texas, everyone knows that high school football is king," Denney said. "I’m telling you, though, Texas is catching up in wrestling. And a lot of the football coaches are realizing how much wrestling can help their football team. And believe me, that’s the truth. I know it firsthand. You have to remember when I started out I was a football coach in high school, and I would go to the wrestling team and get everyone that could to sign up for my football team." - By Wade Baker,The McAllen Monitor MCAllen, Texas. "My football coach told me, 'You better get in wrestling or I'll beat you up,'" -- Tim Lee, Texas High School All-American Lee said that wrestling helps him on the football field because he knows he has to stay low.

Pittjohnstown Mourns the Loss of 6Time NCAA National Champion
From: Caputo, Christopher A [email protected] Subject: Pitt-Johnstown Mourns the Loss of 6-time NCAA National Champion Carlton Haselrig Date: July 22, 2020 at 12:56 PM To: Jaeger, Anthony-ESPN ([email protected]) [email protected], D2Wrestle. com [email protected], [email protected], Knopsnyder, Eric ([email protected]) [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], Moore, Roger-NCAA [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], Baranik, Joe Baranik, Joe ([email protected]) [email protected] Pitt-Johnstown Mourns The Loss of Six-Time NCAA National Champion Carlton Haselrig The Pitt-Johnstown community is mourning the loss of six-time NCAA Wrestling National Champion Carlton Haselrig. Mr. Haselrig passed away on Wednesday of natural causes. He was 54. Mr. Haselrig, a native of Johnstown, Pa., is the most decorated athlete in Pitt-Johnstown history. Mr. Haselrig won six heavyweight NCAA National Wrestling championships, three at the Division I level and three at the Division II level. Mr. Haselrig holds ﬁve Pitt- Johnstown all-time wrestling records, as well as an overall career record of 143-2-1, which equates to a .979 winning percentage. Mr. Haselrig, a 2009 inductee into the Pitt-Johnston Athletics Hall of Fame, never lost a match in the Division I National Tournament (15-0 record and three titles), and he never lost or tied a Division II opponent. His six titles were unprecedented and will remain so because the NCAA no longer allows wrestlers to compete in both division tournaments.
