Campbellsville University wrestling has another national champion, only this time in Great Britain.

Brett Hawthorn, an incoming freshman at CU this fall, won the British Closed Championship in Glasgow, Scotland June 26, making him one of Great Britain's newest senior national champion.

If you missed Campbellsville University wrestling's only home dual under the spotlight last season, then you'll have your chance to be a part of the great atmosphere this November.

The Tigers have four home dates on the 2010-2011 schedule, the most since the 2007-08 season. CU will open its season with a Nov. 5 home tri-match in Gosser Gym against Central Baptist College (Ark.) and Ohio Valley College (W.Va.). The next week, the Tigers will host Cumberland University in a dual Nov. 11 and follow up with a Friday night, Nov. 12 tri-match against the University of the Cumberlands and Lindsey Wilson College.

Campbellsville University rose to the top of the NAIA off the mat this spring, being recognized by the NAIA and National Wrestling Coaches Association as the NWCA All-Academic NAIA Wrestling Team. Campbellsville compiled a team grade point average of 3.238 during the 2009-10 season, the highest of any NAIA wrestling team this year.

Tommy Pretty has been climbing out of the basement since middle school. Saturday, he reached the rooftop as an NAIA National Champion, defeating fourth-ranked Myles Mazurkiewicz by major decision, 13-3 in Oklahoma City. He is Campbellsville University's second national champion in the wrestling program's six-year history.

"I stuck to my game plan and set him up a lot. I knew if I got taken down, I'd be able to reverse him," Pretty said. "With the proper game plan and studying, I was able to take it to him without any hesitation and go right at him."

For the first time since the 2004-05 inaugural season, Campbellsville University will have only one All-American at the NAIA Wrestling National Championships. However, that one All-American is 133-pound Tiger sophomore Tommy Pretty (31-4), who has a shot at a national title Saturday.

The championship round begins at 6:30 p.m. CST in Oklahoma City University's Abe Lemons Arena. The match can be watched live by clicking here.
