Season Outlook 

After losing five Atlantic Coast Conference placers from last year’s team, the 

2005-06 season will be a rebuilding year for Duke wrestling. However, an 

impressive freshman class will begin their first year in the Duke wrestling 

program as the Blue Devils seem poised to continue their emergence in ACC 

wrestling. 

Burlington, Mass., native placed second in the VMI Keydet Invitational at 

141 pounds and competed in the ACC Tournament at 157 pounds. 

Weisberg went 10-11 last year, competing at both 149 and 157 pounds. 

Freshman Ben Wales, a two-time all-state selection from Otsego, Mich., 

will also challenge for the starting spot. 

With two state champions and three state runner-up finishers entering their 

first year with the Blue Devils, Duke wrestling will look to its freshman class 

to make an immediate impact on the season. “This will be a rebuilding year 

for Duke wrestling but we have a strong freshman class that will step in and 

fill any void,” said Duke Head Coach Clar Anderson. 

As ACC wrestling teams continue to improve and emerge on the national 

wrestling scene, the Blue Devils face a tough conference schedule in 2005- 

06. “The new coaches in the conference have landed some of the top 

recruiting classes in the country,” Coach Anderson said. “There will be 

improved competition in our conference this year. We expect the ACC 

schedule will be a tough test for us but I think that we will be as competitive 

as ever.” 

A look at each weight class: 

125 

Sophomore Kellan McKeon, who 

went 8-13 as a freshman, returns for his 

second season at Duke. Coach Anderson 

said, “I am excited that Kellan has 

had a chance to lift weights and grow 

into this weight class. He is a very 

technical wrestler and I expect him to 

have a good year.” McKeon was a 

two-time state champion in high school. 

133 

Junior Bryan Gibson returns at 133 

pounds this year, after going 34-14 during his sophomore campaign. The 

Tulsa, Okla., native finished fourth at the ACC Tournament, third in the Penn 

Keystone Classic and fourth at the UNC Pembroke Open last season. His 

34 wins in 2005 rank first all-time among single-season records at Duke. “Now 

that Bryan is an upperclassman, I expect his maturity to significantly benefit 

his competitiveness,” Anderson said. Freshman Michael Degli Obizzi, a 

two-time Delaware state champion, looks to add significant depth at this weight 

class and will compete with Gibson for the starting spot. 

141 

The 141-pound weight class appears to be the deepest weight class for 

the Blue Devils this season. Sophomore Wes Kuser went 19-6 during his 

freshman year which was highlighted by a first-place finish in the VMI Keydet 

Invitational. Senior Philip Wightman posted a 6-6 mark during his junior 

season after missing his entire sophomore year rehabbing a knee injury. A 

four-time state champion from Omaha, Neb., Wightman is expected to 

challenge for the starting spot. Junior Antwone Floyd, a two-time high school 

state champion who Anderson said is one of the more gifted wrestlers on the 

team, looks to improve in his third season at Duke after posting a 12-9 mark 

during his sophomore campaign. Floyd finished fourth in the ACC Tournament 

last season. 

149 

Juniors Dan Shvartsman and Zach Weisberg return to compete for the 

starting spot in the 149-pound weight class. After posting a team-high 31 wins 

and finishing third in the ACC Tournament in 2003-04, Shvartsman compiled 

a 15-11 record in 2004-05, competing at 141, 149 and 157 pounds. The 

157 

The 157-pound weight class appears to be open this year with senior 

Brandon Foose, junior Adam Lesser and freshmen Cameron Harms and 

Addison Nuding all competing for the starting spot for the Blue Devils. Foose 

was 2-6 during his junior year after an 8-15 sophomore season while Lesser 

posted a 7-9 mark last season, highlighted by a second-place finish in the VMI 

Keydet Invitational. Harms, a Blue Springs, Mo., native, was a two-time 

runner-up in the Missouri state championships at Blue Springs High School. 

Nuding, who finished second in the Pennsylvania state championships as a 

senior, is a two-time all-state selection out of Reading, Pa. 

2 Duke Blue Devil Wrestling 2005-06 

165 

After posting a 7-3 record at 174 pounds 

last year, senior Scott Doerr is expected 

to drop down to compete at the 165-pound 

weight class in 2005-06. Doerr will be 

challenged for the starting spot by freshman 

Joe Danfield, who was a three-time 

all-conference selection at Camden Catholic 

High School in Cherry Hill, N.J. Redshirt 

freshman Aaron Glover, a former Georgia 

state champion, is also expected to 

compete for the starting spot. 

174 

Senior Levi Craig, who won the ACC 

title as a sophomore, is looking to repeat 

as conference champion in 2005-06. 

Craig, who compiled a 23-12 mark 

during his junior season for the Blue Devils, will be challenged by junior 

Rick Lindquist, redshirt freshman Turner Rooney and freshmen Tad 

Anderson and John Barone for the starting spot. Rooney was 4-2 in 

his first season at Duke, competing at 174 pounds. Barone, a two-time 

state runner-up at William Floyd High School in Shirley, N.Y., and 

Anderson, a Raleigh, N.C., native, look to add depth to the 174-pound 

weight class. 

184 

With the departure of two-time ACC champion Frank Cornely, the 184- 

pound weight class is wide open this season. Redshirt freshman Dan Fox, 

who was 9-7 last year, and redshirt freshman Dan Tulley, who went 5-3 last 

season, look to compete with incoming freshman Mike Toomey for the starting 

spot. 

197 

Junior Patrick Keenum, who was 3-4 last year, and sophomore Konrad 

Dudziak look to compete for the starting spot at 197 pounds. Dudziak, 

Poland’s Under-21 National Champion, was 10-7 during his freshman 

season that included a first-place finish in the VMI Keydet Invitational. 

285 

Freshmen Wade Van Sickle and Mike Tunick will compete for the starting 

spot in the heavyweight division. Van Sickle was the Ohio state champion 

during an undefeated 48-0 senior season at Liberty City High School last 

year. Tunick is a two-time all-state selection out of Annandale, Va., who placed 

fifth in the state championships his junior and senior years.

Athletic Administration 

Joe Alleva 

Director of Athletics 

Joe Alleva, a member of the Duke athletic 

department since 1980, was named the 

school’s sixth director of athletics on February 

25, 1998, and has upheld the stature of 

the department by striving for success on and 

off the playing field. 

Alleva had served as Duke’s associate 

athletic director for 11 years prior to his elevation, and has been at the 

University for 28 years. 

In such a short span as the leader of the program, Alleva has 

already made his mark by spearheading a multidimensional fundraising 

campaign that has taken the athletics program into the 21st 

century. 

The 52-year-old native of Suffern, N.Y., joined the athletics 

staff in 1980 and was named assistant athletic director in July of 1986. 

He has also served as assistant director of the Iron Dukes during his 

tenure. In 1987, Alleva was promoted to associate athletic director, 

assuming a great deal of responsibility for all day-to-day operations of 

the department. He also served as the athletics business manager 

during Duke’s rapid growth from the mid-1980s until 1998. 

Duke athletics has flourished under Alleva’s leadership. The 

Blue Devils finished seventh in the 1999 Sears Directors’ Cup, which 

rates athletics departments based on the success of its teams. Among 

schools that finished in the top 25 of the 2000 Sears Directors’ Cup 

standings, Duke ranked No. 1 in graduation rate, with 91 percent of its 

student-athletes earning their degrees. Last year, Duke placed fifth in 

the final Cup standings — the school’s highest ranking ever. 

In 2000-01, Duke won a school-record seven ACC 

Championships and captured the championship of the inaugural Carlyle 

Cup - a competition between the Duke and North Carolina athletic 

departments. Duke has captured the Carlyle Cup in three of the past 

five seasons. 

Four Duke teams - men’s basketball in 2001, women’s golf in 

1999, 2002 and 2005 - have won national championships since 

Alleva’s appointment as athletic director. Since taking over the helm at 

Duke, Alleva’s teams have notched 35 ACC Championships, which is 

second among ACC schools since the 1997-98 campaign. 

Alleva’s fund-raising efforts have reached extensive heights. 

In 1998, a campaign was launched publicly with a goal of $65 million 

and, less than three years later, the standard was increased to $130 

million when the department brought in over $110 million. 

Support Staff 

The Iron Dukes have gone from raising $5 million during the 

1997-98 academic year to more than $8 million annually. 

Highlighting the use of the millions of dollars raised are the Yoh 

Football Center, a $22 million project completed in the summer of 2002. 

The 70,000-square foot facility is the new home of Duke Football. Also, 

the Schwartz-Butters Athletic Center, a 41,000-square foot addition to 

Cameron Indoor Stadium that houses Duke’s men’s and women’s 

basketball teams as well as an academic center for all Blue Devil 

athletes, and the Sheffield Center and Ambler Tennis Stadium, a pair of 

state-of-the-art tennis facilities, have been completed. 

The Blue Devil soccer and lacrosse teams have enjoyed 

enhancements to their home field, Koskinen Stadium, and the baseball 

team played its first season under the lights in 2001. 

Alleva has equipped the department to better assist the 

student-athlete by providing additional personnel for the strength, speed 

and training staffs. An emphasis has been placed on fund-raising, with 

new staff members overseeing this important area of growth. 

He also established a visionary Athletics Advisory Board 

made up of influential business and sports leaders throughout the 

country with interests in the Duke athletics program. That group was 

initiated in the spring of 1999. 

Alleva played football and baseball at Lehigh and was football 

captain in 1974. He received his bachelor’s degree in 1975 majoring in 

finance and served as a graduate assistant football coach for Lehigh, 

earning an MBA in 1976. Alleva began serving Duke in 1976 working 

for the vice president for business and finance. 

He has played a key role in Durham’s community sports 

scene over the last several years. He started Little League Baseball in 

174 

Durham over 15 years ago, and also began the American Legion 

baseball program in the area. 

Alleva is a member of the North Carolina American Legion 

Hall of Fame, Suffern H.S. Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall 

of Fame. 

He is also taking a more active approach on the national 

collegiate athletics scene, serving on the Atlantic Coast Conference’s 

Committees on Football, Television and Equity Issues while representing 

the ACC on the NCAA’s Championship Cabinet. Alleva serves on the 

ACC’s committees for football, men’s basketball and television. 

Alleva and his wife, Annie, have two sons, J.D. (25) and Jeff 

(23) along with a daughter, Jenny (19). A 24th-round pick by the 

Kansas City Royals in the 2001 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, 

J.D. was in the Royals’ minor league system while Jeff finished his 

baseball career at Duke in 2003 and signed a free agent contract with 

the Royals following his senior season. Jenny is a current member of 

Duke’s women’s soccer team.

Duke University was created in 1924 by 

James Buchanan Duke as a memorial to his father, 

Washington Duke. The Dukes, a Durham 

family who built a worldwide financial empire 

in the manufacture of tobacco and developed 

the production of electricity in the two Carolinas, 

had long been interested in Trinity College. 

Trinity traced its roots to 1838 in nearby 

Randolph County when local Methodist and 

Quaker communities joined forces to support 

a permanent school, which they named Union 

Institute. After a brief period as Normal College 

(1851-59), the school changed its name to 

Trinity College in 1859 and affiliated with the 

Methodist Church. 

The college moved to Durham in 1892 with 

financial assistance from Washington Duke 

and the donation of land by Julian S. Carr. In 

December 1924, the school’s trustees gratefully 

accepted the provisions of James B. Duke’s indenture 

creating the family philanthropic 

foundation, The Duke Endowment, which provided, 

in part, for the expansion of Trinity College 

into Duke University. 

As a result of the Duke gift, Trinity underwent 

both physical and academic expansion. 

The original Durham Campus became known 

as East Campus when it was rebuilt in stately 

Georgian architecture. West Campus, Gothic 

in style and dominated by the soaring 210-foot 

tower of Duke Chapel, opened in 1930. Academic 

expansion of the university included the 

establishment of new graduate and professional 

schools. 

Modern times have seen Duke realize its 

founder’s aspirations to become a major center 

of learning. The Duke University Medical 

Center has achieved international prominence, 

and many Duke schools and departments are 

consistently ranked among the nation’s best.

Durham is a turn-

renovated as a 

unique shopping, 

dining and enter- 

tainment district. 

Located in the heart of North Carolina’s 

rolling Piedmont region, Durham stands 

out as a gem among southern cities. 

Through the years, the city has evolved 

from a tobacco and textile town into an international 

center for medicine, scholarship, 

biotechnology and electronics. 

Founded in 1853, Durham is widely recognized 

for its diversity. Originally a 

manufacturing center, the city now is 

known for excellence in medicine, education, 

research and industry. The wide 

range of activities available in the area 

lends the city a multifaceted appeal that 

strikes even first-time visitors. 

Durham has a natural appeal as well, 

characterized by 98,000 acres of hardwood 

and evergreen forests including the only 

remaining old growth Piedmont bottomland 

forests and 7,800 acres of cropland. 

Hills and dales, meandering rivers and 

streams, several lakes, 26 rare plant species 

and several rare species of birds and 

animals can also be found here. 

With 187,000 residents in the one-city 

county, Durham is the fourth-largest city 

in North Carolina. It is ideally located on 

the large and small scale. Within the immediate 

area it stands as the pinnacle of 

the “Triangle” region of North Carolina, a 

metropolitan population of 1,000,000 

people that includes Chapel Hill to the 

south and west and Raleigh, the state capital, 

to the south and east. On a regional 

level, this area is the primary center of culture, 

sports, education and government between 

Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. 

With excellent sports and cultural activities 

in the area, Durham is a fun place 

to be. People from all walks of life — academic, 

industrial, professional, agricultural 

— blend to provide a warm, rich sense of 

hospitality and diversity.
