4 WYOMING WRESTLING Head Coach MARK BRANCH Head Coach (Oklahoma State ‘97) Fourth Year at Wyoming (38-13, 16-1 WWC)

Mark Branch completed his third season as head coach of the Wyoming Cowboy wrestling team in 2010-11, and his program continued to show dramatic signs of improvement under his direction. “Mark has done an excellent job of building an entire program, while at the same time exciting our fan base and building support around the state of Wyoming,” UW Athletics Director Tom Burman said. “And he has built our wrestling program into a successful one in a relatively short period of time.” In 2010-11, Branch continued that success with another stellar campaign. After spending the entire dual season ranked in the top 20 in the nation, Wyoming won its second consecutive West Regional team title with five Cowboys claiming individual titles. Branch was named Western Wrestling Conference Coach of the Year at the event for a second time in his career. UW has claimed 12 total individual titles at the event under Branch and has never finished outside the top two. Branch also upped his total of UW wrestlers to earn All-WWC honors to 23, with seven honorees in 2010-11. Branch also helped six Cowboys earn berths to the NCAA Championships. Juniors Shane Onufer (165) and Joe LeBlanc (184) earned All- America honors by placing fifth and sixth, respectively, to lead Wyoming to a 28th-place team finish. UW wrestlers have earned four All-America honors under Branch, including three straight by LeBlanc. During the season, the Cowboys compiled an 11-7 overall dual mark and were 5-1 in the WWC. UW’s lone dual loss in WWC action came in the last matchup of the season at Northern Iowa and was Branch’s first dual loss in the WWC. He has compiled a 16-1 mark against WWC teams with two regular-season dual titles. In 2009-10, Branch directed the Cowboy wrestlers to the West Regional team title over the 24-time defending champion Northern Iowa Panthers with three Cowboy individual titles. The come-from-behind championship was Wyoming’s first-ever West Regional team title and UW’s first tournament conference championship team since 1992. The effort qualified four UW wrestlers for the NCAA Championships, as LeBlanc would go on to finish fourth at the event to earn his second All-America accolade and was named the WWC Wrestler of the Year. The Cowboys claimed 33rd in the final team standings, as Branch was named the 2010 West Region Coach of the Year by D1CollegeWrestling.net. Shortly after he signed a contract extension to remain at UW through 2013. Wyoming also had a successful dual season in 2009-10, winning the WWC regular-season dual title for the second straight year with an overall season record to 12-3 and a WWC record of 6-0. The `Pokes beat both Nebraska and Northern Iowa, and ended the regular season ranked No. 25 in the nation in the National Wrestling Coaches’ Association/USA Today Coaches poll. UW had seven wrestler earn All-WWC honors. Branch’s first season guiding the Cowboys (2008-09) saw an immediate turn around for the program. UW earned a share of the WWC regular-season dual title with a perfect 5-0 record in league matches, and went 15-3 overall in duals. At the West Regional tournament, Wyoming finished second with four champions and sent four Cowboys to the NCAA Championships, where LeBlanc finished fifth to become the first freshman in UW wrestling history to earn All- America honors. Following his first season at UW, Branch was named WWC Coach of the Year, the West Region Coach of the Year by D1CW and the Top Rookie Coach in the nation by Amateur Wrestling News. Branch also oversaw a squad which earned nine All-WWC honors in 2008- 09, the most of any WWC member institution. He was nominated by his peers to be a part of the 2009 National Wrestling Coaches Association Leadership Academy Class. On July 14, 2008, Mark Branch was selected as the 14th head coach in the history of the University of Wyoming Wrestling program. Branch came to Wyoming from Oklahoma State University where he was the associate head wrestling coach for six years, as well as a four-time NCAA finalist as a student-athlete. He was a part of five NCAA team championships as a coach and student-athlete at OSU. As a college wrestler, Branch was a member of OSU’s 1994 NCAA Championship team, and served on the coaching staff for OSU’s 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 NCAA titles. While competing for OSU, Branch was a four-time NCAA All-American (1994-97), four-time NCAA National Finalist (1994-97), two-time NCAA National Champion at 167 pounds (1994 and `97) and a two-time National Freestyle All-American (1998 and `99). In 1997, he was named the Big XII Athlete of the Year, OSU Student-Athlete of the Year and the top graduating senior for OSU Wrestling. He was a four-time NWCA Academic All-American, received an NCAA The Branch Family: (L to R) Mason, Susan, Mark and Post-Graduate Scholarship Award and a Big XII Post-Graduate Scholarship Award. Maggie As a member of the OSU coaching staff, Branch was named the National Wrestling Coaches’ Association (NWCA) Assistant Coach of the Year in 2004. He helped coach OSU to seven Big XII Championships, four NCAA Championships and three Dual Team Championships. He was named the Associate Head Coach at OSU in 2002 and served as an assistant coach for five years prior to that. He coached 57 All-Americans and 16 NCAA Champions. WYOMING WRESTLING 5 Head Coach/UW Coaching History

He provided the Cowboys from Stillwater with personal and team instruction including technique training, weight training, conditioning and nutrition. He was instrumental in the recruiting of student- athletes to Stillwater, as well as organizing fundraising projects, promotional strategies and assisting in public relations functions with student-athletes. “For me, this is the realization of my goal to become an NCAA head coach,” said Branch. “I’m from a competitive background, and I was looking for a place where I could build a nationally- competitive program. I believe there is a great deal of support from the Athletic Department and the University as a whole at Wyoming. Wyoming is the right program for me and the right fit for my family and I. I appreciate the confidence that Tom Burman and (UW Senior Associate Athletics Director) Matt Whisenant have shown in me to get the job done.” Branch has been a freestyle wrestling coach for the Gator Club in New Orleans, La., since 1997 where he provides personal instruction and training in freestyle wrestling. His teams have participated at various World Team training camps. He has coached at the U.S. Nationals and World/Olympic Team Trials. Branch earned his bachelor of science degree in secondary education from Oklahoma State in 1997 and earned his master of science degree in athletic administration from OSU in 2000. “I wouldn’t be in this position if it weren’t for the opportunities I was given at my alma mater, Oklahoma State,” Branch said. “I learned from John Smith (Head Wrestling Coach at OSU and six-time World Champion) and was fortunate to be part of a college wrestling program where I consistently coached and developed All-Americans, National Champions and Olympians. Now I’m excited to build on the great tradition of Wyoming Cowboy wrestling.” A native of Newkirk, Okla., he and his wife Susan have a daughter, Maggie Belle, and a son, Mason Layne.

Mark Branch’s Coaching Philosophy

“My team is expected to believe in me and what I am telling them. We train for a specific reason and that is to improve throughout the year, learn from both wins and losses and be at our best in March. I teach my guys to be technically sound. I want the team to be in good physical condition heading into the season. As our season progresses, we will focus on skill and technique while making constant strides in improving our physical strength and conditioning. It’s important to keep mental focus all year. We want to be in peak condition at the right time, and that is at the end of the season. “I expect my student-athletes to emphasize getting their degree and becoming a better wrestler and person. I demand a lot out of those areas. There are academic standards that we hold the team to internally and we demand that they excel in the classroom. “As a program we will reach out, connect with former wrestlers and alumni, make sure they are around and a part of this program. We want their support any way we can get it. It will strengthen us to have the current wrestlers realize that the tradition here at Wyoming goes way back and those guys are still around. I’ve asked them to help with training opportunities outside of what I can provide via the Cowboy Wrestling Club.”

Mark Branch is the 14th head coach in the history of Wyoming Cowboy Wrestling.

The Cowboy Wrestling Club

What Is It? - “The Cowboy Wrestling Club is a non-profit organization designed to bring in top athletes and coaches to train in Laramie, Wyo. The club will support our athletes in the off-season so that they can continue to excel throughout the year. With Laramie’s close proximity to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, we believe we have a unique opportunity to create a training ground competitive with any college program in the country. The benefits this club will have on our young student-athletes, our program, and the state of Wyoming wrestling cannot be measured. The sky is the limit on an opportunity like this and we are doing all we can do to get it off the ground. Our student-athletes and staff are already making an impact. Fundraising projects that are currently in place involve football game day workers, community service volunteers, the Cowboy Open tournament, and wrestling summer camps. Every dollar our student-athletes earn will go towards the Cowboy Wrestling Club. We have asked them to make sacrifices with the mindset that this will benefit them for years to come, and they have responded like champions. They take on the challenges of these extra duties with a happy heart, but we realize they cannot do it alone. We have to be careful not to sacrifice their academics or their training. That is where the support of our proud Cowboy fans factors so heavily. I do not want to put a limit on what we can accomplish with this concept, but I do realize for it to run properly it will take a group effort and a winning attitude. We hope you will be part of a very special time in Wyoming Wrestling history. I have told our student-athletes that we are taking Wyoming Wrestling to a place it’s never been before and I hope that you will be along for the ride!”

Regional Training Center

What Is It? - The University of Wyoming wrestling program announced its wrestling club had been certified as a regional training center by USA Wrestling. Known as the Cowboy Wrestling Club, the program already had been established as a charter wrestling club by USA Wrestling. The Cowboy Wrestling Club is based out of the UniWyo Sports Complex. The certification allows Olympic hopefuls at any age group to train in Laramie to compete in international competitions. Branch said the distinction of being named a regional training center shows that UW is trying to grow wrestling at all levels, but specifically that “we’re serious about the Olympic movement.” “It shows we have big plans for the future,” Branch added. “We’re going to be equipped to keep those kids here and train full- time. It can be a real big benefit to have those guys as a part of our program.” USA Wrestling has worked with the top collegiate programs in the country to establish regional training centers on campuses across the nation. It’s part of a broader goal to help the US in international competition. “We hope to take the kids that we’re producing, and when their college careers are over, give them the opportunities they need to compete for world and Olympic teams,” Branch said. “It’s a collective effort across the country to really strengthen American wrestling. Wyoming had to endure an application process in order to receive the status, including having USA Wrestling-certified coaches in the program. The move also allows Wyoming Wrestling to work closely with the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. “First and foremost, our priority is to provide opportunities for our graduating seniors,” Branch said. “It definitely is going to give us a lot of exposure to athletes and also give us the opportunity to give exposure to our program and coaching staff and athletes to the country.” The Wyoming Regional Training Center is one of 16 sites throughout the nation.

54 WYOMING WRESTLING Strength and Conditioning

Cowboy Tough - Wrestling Strength and Conditioning

“The sport of wrestling requires attention to numerous energy systems, movement patterns, and potential injury sites when designing a comprehensive training program. In general, wrestling requires the athletes to improve strength levels and their ability to produce power, while maintaining a relatively low body weight. Wrestling also places various joints and their supporting musculature in abnormal situations, which if not properly prepared for, could result in injury. “Sports performance at the University of Wyoming is a scientifically based, year round process with particular training goals for the various times of the year After the competitive season, the athletes work to rehabilitate any injuries, regain any lost flexibility or mobility, and bring up any weaknesses that may have occurred during the season. The off-season is a time where increasing overall strength is the highest priority, due to no practice or weigh-ins. As the preseason approaches, the emphasis switches towards sport-specific strength and power development. In terms of the weight room, the competitive season is broken up into early season, and mid to late season. Although the two are similar in the specific goals of maintaining strength and power built in the off-season, the mid to late season portion of the competitive season reduces the amount of stress on the wrestlers’ body, increases their conditioning level, and prepares them for peak performance at conference and NCAA National tournaments. “The process of athletic development extends beyond physical improvement. An intense, strict, competitive and creative training environment fosters work ethic, mental toughness, attitude, accountability and leadership.”

WYOMING WRESTLING 55 Wyoming Traditions

RAGTIME COWBOY JOE The familiar fight song of the University of Wyoming athletics teams is Ragtime Cowboy Joe. This song is performed by the band as UW teams enter the playing surface, following a score or big play, and to fire up the fans. The Cowboy and Cowgirl student-athletes traditionally sing this following each Wyoming victory.

RAGTIME COWBOY JOE “He always sings raggy music to the cattle as he swings back and forward in the saddle, on a horse - a pretty good horse! He’s got a syncopated gaiter, and you ought to hear the meter to the roar of his repeater; how they run - yes run! - when they hear that he’s ‘a-comin’, cause the western folks all know, he’s a high-falootin’, rootin, tootin’, son of a gun from ol’ Wyoming, Ragtime Cowboy, Talk about your Cowboy, Ragtime Cowboy Joe.”

THE STAMPEDE The Stampede is the official athletics fan club for University of Wyoming students. The Stampede is one BIG fan club for all 17 NCAA Division I sports at the University of Wyoming. The Stampede leads Wyoming fans in spirit, tradition and passion for Wyoming Athletics. Members of the Stampede receive multiple benefits, and as a student at UW, The Stampede is the best way to become involved in Wyoming Athletics.

COWBOY NICKNAME The nickname “Cowboys” was applied to Wyoming athletic teams as early as 1891 - two years before the first official football game. The story is that the Wyoming pick-up football team appealed to a 220 pound cowpuncher, Fred Bush, for help in a game against the Cheyenne Soldiers. Bush signed up for a course or two and came out for the team. When he trotted onto the field decked out in a checkered shirt and Cowboy hat, someone yelled, “Hey, look at the Cowboy!” Since many of the members of the team were also ex- cowboys, the name stuck. When women’s sports were added at UW, the nickname of Cowgirls was applied to those squads.

COWBOY JOE PONY Cowboy Joe IV, a fourth generation Wyoming mascot, trots around War Memorial Stadium after each Cowboy touchdown, a tradition which started in 1950 when the Farthing Family of Cheyenne made a generous donation of a young pony to become Wyoming’s mascot. Cowboy Joe also represents UW in parades around the region, appears in Tailgate Park on football game days and leads the band and team in the pre-game Cowboy Walk. This beautiful little pony is very popular with Cowboy & Cowgirl fans of all ages.

WESTERN THUNDER MARCHING BAND The University of Wyoming Marching Band - “Western Thunder” - features musicians from nearly every major on campus, who perform for thousands of football fans each year at home and road Cowboy football games. The Wyoming Pep Band plays at numerous other UW sporting events.

UW’S LOGO - STEAMBOAT One of the nation’s best, and most distinctive logos, the image on Wyoming’s uniforms depicts a cowboy riding a bucking horse. This symbol has been a part of the University of Wyoming Athletics Department since the early 1920’s, when UW Equipment Manger Deane Hunton obtained a photograph of a cowboy, Guy Holt, riding the world famous bucking horse Steamboat. Hunton had the photo made into a logo, which was then utilized by UW athletic teams. While there are differing opinions on exactly which horse and rider is depicted on all of UW’s athletic uniforms today, it is the symbol that is important. The bucking horse and rider represents the toughness, BROWN AND GOLD COLORS and the never-say-die spirit that is Wyoming. A statue honoring the The story behind the colors of the University of Wyoming dates back to 1895. In the spring symbol called ‘Fanning a Twister’, was erected at the north entrance of that year, the first ever UW Alumni Banquet was held. Decorations for the banquet of UW’s athletics facilities in 1991. included Brown-Eyed Susans, a flower native of Southeastern Wyoming.

Currently, the colors are described as brown and gold.
