2009-10 - Jason Chamberlain earned his second consecutive
NCAA tournament berth after finishing third at the 2010 Pac-10 Conference
Championship. Chamberlain would wrestle well early on at nationals, but
back-to-back losses in his fourth and fifth matches of the weekend would bounce
him from the tournament. He opened the NCAA championships with a 9-5 decision
over David Cheza of Michigan State. That was followed with a 10-2 major
decision win over Brian Stephens (Virginia Tech) and a 5-2 win against Kevin
LeValley of Bucknell. Chamberlain's run would end there, however, as he lost to
Lance Palmer of Ohio State by fall (1:14) and Kyle Borshoff of American, 5-3,
to fall from tournament action. Chamberlain's strong showing at nationals
capped another solid year wrestling at 149 pounds for Boise State. Steady
performance in conference duals earned Chamberlain the No. 1 seed at the Pac-10
tournament. But despite entering the conference championships as the favorite,
Chamberlain suffered an upset in the semifinals to end his run at defending his
2009 Pac-10 title. After advancing through the quarterfinals with a 23-6
technical fall against John Cardenas of Cal State Bakersfield, Chamberlain was
stunned by Nick Fisher of Cal Poly as Fisher pinned Chamberlain at the 4:24
mark of the semifinal match. Chamberlain managed to rebound from the loss by
beating Oregon State's Roger Pena, 6-1, in consolation action before dropping
Nicholas Jordan of Cal State Fullerton by 12-3 major decision in the third-place
match. Chamberlain finished the season 26-10 with a 12-4 record in dual
competition. He started 16-of-17 duals for the Broncos at 149 pounds.
Chamberlain tied for second on the team in major decisions (9), while ranking third
in overall wins and fourth in dual points (44) and overall winning percentage
(72.2%). He also tied for fourth in dual wins and tied for fifth in dual
winning percentage. Chamberlain wrestled in two regular season tournaments,
the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invite and the Reno Tournament of Champions. He
finished fourth at the Cliff Keen with a 4-2 record, and was second in Reno
with a 4-1 record. Chamberlain finished the regular season ranked No. 6 by
InterMat, which marked his highest ranking of the 2009-10 season.
2008-09
- Chamberlain experienced
a great deal of success as a true freshman at Boise State, finishing the Pac-10
Conference tournament with a 4-0 record en route to winning his first
individual conference championship. Following his conference title run,
Chamberlain also earned a NCAA national tournament berth. At nationals,
Chamberlain failed to get rolling, bowing out of the tournament with a 1-2
record. Despite a valient effort, Chamberlain fell in his first round match,
5-2, against Iowa State's Mitch Mueller. His only win of the tournament came
against Matt Cathell of Delaware State, 9-3, in the second round. His final
loss of the weekend would come in heart breaking fashion, falling to Kyle
Borshoff of American University, 3-2. On his way to capturing the 149-pound
Pac-10 championship, Chamberlain pinned (3:48) Calvin Miller of Cal State
Bakersfield to open tournament action. He followed with an 8-2 decision against
Vincent Varela of Arizona State and a 4-0 decision against Teddy Astorga of Cal
State Fullerton to put himself in a highly anticipated championship rematch.
Chamberlain managed to avenge two regular season losses to Oregon State's
Heinrich Barnes in the championship match, earning a 6-5 decision to claim the
Pac-10 crown. He finished the season with a 22-9 overall record, 10-6 in duals.
He started 16 of 20 duals for the Broncos, including the last 14 duals at
149-pounds. Chamberlain finished the regular season ranked No. 16 nationally by
USA Today/InterMat/NWCA. He recorded three major decisions, three technical
falls and three pins throughout the season. He also captured one tournament
title by winning the Body Bar tournament.
Freestyle - Throughout the summer
following his freshman season at Boise State, Chamberlain qualified to
represent the United States at the 2009 FILA Junior World Championships in
Ankara, Turkey. He did so by winning the 66 kg (145.5 pound) weight class at
the FILA Junior Teal Trials. During the summer prior to arriving at Boise
State, Chamberlain competed in the Junior division of the FILA World Team
Trails and placed third in his weight class at 145.5 pounds (66kg).
High School - There weren't many things
that Chamberlain didn't accomplish during his illustrious high school wrestling
career. While at Springville High School, he won four state championships and
multiple national titles. The four-year varsity letter winner won a state title
in each of his four seasons. He won the High School Junior national
championship and ROTC championship as a junior and was the high school national
champion as a senior. Chamberlain was also named team captain as a senior. His
high school was Justin Judkins.
