Ben Cherrington - 2006 NCAA Champion

Ben Cherrington capped a perfect season during his senior year of 2005-06 when he became just the second Boise State wrestler in school history to win an individual NCAA National Championship.

Following an early-season injury which kept him out of the line-up until midway through his fi nal season, Cherrington was unbeatable once he stepped back on the mat, posting a 20-0 record on his way to the 157-pound title at the NCAA Tournament in Oklahoma City, Okla.

Cherrington dominated his opponents during his undefeated season, winning three matches by pin, three by technical fall and six by major decision. Along the way to his national collegiate title, Cherrington also recorded his second- straight Pac-10 Championship. His fi rst came in in 2005 at the 149-pound weight class.

Cherrington qualifi ed for the NCAA National Tournament all four years of his collegiate career. His overall collegiate record was 93-32, including a mark of 54-8 for an .871 winning percentage his fi nal two seasons.

Kirk White - 1999 NCAA Champion

Kirk White was the fi rst Boise State wrestler to win a NCAA National Championship when he captured the 165-pound weight class in 1999. As a sophomore that year, White took collegiate wrestling by storm by winning the Pac-10 Championship, and then continuing his winning streak at the NCAA National Tournament.

White dominated his opponents during his championship season, posting an overall record of 38-1. His only loss came at the National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Dual.

While he did not win another NCAA national title as a junior and senior, he did earn two more NCAA All-America awards to become the only three-time NCAA Wrestling All-American for the Broncos.

White completed his four years at Boise State with an overall record of 130-26 for a winning percentage of .833. The breakdown of White’s season-by-season results are 1997-98: 27-6 (81.8%); 1998-99: 38-1(97.4%); 1999-00: 20-8 (71.4%); 2000-01: 29-6 (82.9%).

In September of 2007, White was inducted into the Boise State University Athletic Hall of Fame.

Charles Burton - 2000 United States Olympic Freestyle Team Member

Former Bronco wrestler Charles Burton made history in September of 2000, when he became the fi rst Boise State University athlete to become a member of a United States Olympic Team.

A native of Meridian, Idaho, Burton was a 1996 NCAA All-American at 167 pounds and completed his career at Boise State with 101 victories. He representated the United States at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games competing in the Freestyle division and placing fi fth in the 87 kilogram (187.25 pound) weight class.

Burton’s overall record at the Sydney Games was 3-1. He won his fi rst two Olympic matches by not allowing a single point by his opponents. In the quarterfi nals Burton held a 2-1 lead in the overtime period when Magomed Ibragimov of Macedonia scored a three-point throw to post a 4-2 win. Burton won the fi fth-place match by injury default over Yang Hyun Mo of Korea.

While competing in Freestyle, Burton won the 1997 University Freestyle National Championship, the bronze medal at the 1997 Pan American Games and a silver medal at the 1999 World Team Trials. He earned his spot on the 2000 Olympic Team when he defeated then-World Champion Les Gutches in a special wrestle-off. The two wrestlers split the fi rst two matches before Burton defeated Gutches 5-0 in the third match to earn his roster position on the national team.

In November of 2001, Burton was inducted into the Boise State University Athletic Hall of Fame.

Mike Young - Bronco Head Coach (1972-2002)

When Mike Young retired as the Bronco wrestling head coach at the end of the 2001-02 season, he did so as one of, it not, the most successful coaches in the history of Boise State athletics.

In 31 years guiding the Broncos, Young produced 12 conference championships, one national champion, 11 All-Americans and earned 12 conference Coach of the Year awards. Ten of his league titles and coach of the year awards came when Boise State was a member of the Big Sky Conference. The fi nal two came in 2000 and 2002 when he led the Broncos to league crowns in the Pac-10 Conference.

Kirk White was Young’s most successful individual wrestler, winning the 1999 NCAA National Championship in the 165-pound weight class and becoming the only three-time NCAA All-American.

Young’s two most successful years at the NCAA National Tournament came in 1999 and 2000. The 1999 team posted the best fi nish in school history at the time, placing 10th. The next season Boise State fi nished 12th as three Broncos earned All-America honors.

Young also coached the fi rst Boise State student-athlete to become a member of a United States Olympic Team. Charles Burton, who wrestled for Young and the Broncos in the late 1990s, competed in Freestyle at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, and placed fi fth in the 85-kg weight class.

Young began his Boise State career in 1970 as an assistant wrestling coach, and took over the head coaching position in 1972. In 1987 he was inducted into Boise State University’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

BRONCO STADIUM & STUECKLE SKY CENTER

In an effort to continue the climb in competition, Boise State has outlined a plan to improve the infrastructure and fi nancial position of its athletic department. The project is called the “Initiative for Athletic Excellence.” It is a detailed plan that lays out the direction for the department and its facilities to ensure the Broncos’ continued growth and success.

In the last 15 years Boise State’s growth has led to the addition of women’s soccer (1998), women’s swimming & diving (2006-07) and softball (2008-09). During that time Boise State has built four competition facilities: the state-of-the-art Appleton Outdoor Tennis Center (2002), the Boas Soccer & Tennis Complex (2003), Jacksons Indoor Track (2003 - a joint effort with the city of Nampa) and Dona Larsen Park which includes new track & fi eld and softball stadiums (2012). In January of 2006 the Caven-Williams Sports Complex, a 97,000 square-foot indoor practice facility, was opened next to Bronco Stadium. The Boas Indoor Tennis Center also underwent signifi cant renovation with the replacement of the bubbles, while the Stueckle Sky Center, which includes a new press box, luxury suites, banquet halls, new ticket offi ce, a Bronco Shop, and much more was CAVEN-WILLIAMS SPORTS COMPLEX fi nished in 2008. In the summer of 2011, the 10,000-square foot Arguinchona Basketball Complex, including locker rooms, a theater-style fi lm room, lounges and study areas for men's and women's basektball, was completed.

Seating capacity for football games increased to 36,387 in the summer of 2012, after phase one of the Boise State football complex and stadium expansion. Phase two added the Bleymaier Football Center, which houses football offi ces, locker rooms, team rooms, training rooms and more was completed for the 2013 football season.
