three Big Ten teams in the top-10, eight other conference foes join the Illini this weekend with only No. 2 Ohio State and Michigan State not participating. ILLINOIS MIDLANDS HISTORY Since the inaugural Midlands in 1963, the Fighting Illini have participated in 41 of the 54 Midlands tournaments. Entering their 42nd appearance this week, the Illini have won the title four times, most recently in 2012. Individually, Illini wrestlers have placed 130 times at the annual holiday tournament, while 12 Illini have been crowned champions. Isaiah Martinez has twice won the event, being crowned the 157-pound champion as a redshirt freshman in 2014 and the 165- pound champion in 2016. I-MAR SEEKS ILLUSTRIOUS THIRD MIDLANDS TITLE In the 54-year history of the Midlands tournament, only 43 wrestlers have won three or more individual titles. Of the 43 grapplers, only 18 have won three while in college with the most recent coming last year when Iowa's Thomas Gilman accomplished the feat. The remaining 24 three-time winners reached their third title while wrestling for a club team following graduation. Martinez would be the first Illini to join this group. Illinois head coach Jim Heffernan is a three-time Midlands champion, winning in 1983, 1984 and 1986. ILLINI TO WATCH 125: #15 Travis Piotrowski One of two Illini to enter the midseason tournament without a blemish on his record. With seven straight victories to open the season, the Illini sophomore is one of seven ranked wrestlers in the Midlands field. Ranked #15 entering the weekend, Piotrowski went 2-2 last year at Midlands, highlighted by an upset of No. 18 L.J. Bentley in the second round. Of the other six ranked wrestlers, three come from Big Ten schools on Illinois' remaining schedule in No. 2 Nick Suriano (Rutgers), No. 12 Sebastian Rivera (NW) and No. 18 Luke Welch (PUR). 165: #2 Isaiah Martinez Seeking to become just the 19th collegian to win a third Midlands title, Martinez Season Notes headlines six ranked wrestlers in the bracket. Along with Martinez, Evan Wick (Wisconsin) ranks in the top-10 at 165 and will be a preview of a Feb. 11 dual at Huff Hall. Along with Wick, a couple foes from Martinez's path to last year's Midlands title will again look to challenge him this year: No. 12 Anthony Valencia (ASU) and No. 13 Alex Marinelli (Iowa). Martinez defeated both by major decisions last year, Valencia in the semifinals and Marinelli in the quarterfinals. 184: #12 Emery Parker Despite just one loss this season, Parker will be looking to beef up his resume with wins over ranked opponents after dropping the Roadrunner Open title match to No. 8 Ricky Robertson (Wisconsin) back in November. Parker's first of a handful of ranked wins last season came at Midlands when he pinned Jordan Ellingwood of Central Michigan. Along with Robertson and Ellingwood, Nick Gravina (Rutgers) is also in the field after Parker defeated Gravina in New Brunswick last January, 8-6, in sudden victory. I-MAR FIFTH AT U-23 WORLDS Isaiah Martinez made his first appearance at world competition on Sunday, November 26, as he placed fifth at U-23 World Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland. After dropping his first match to eventual 74kg champion Gadzhi Nabiev (Russia), Martinez battled back in repechage to finish 2-2 on the day. MARTINEZ CLIMBS ALL-TIME LISTS Isaiah Martinez sits atop the Illinois alltime win percentage list with a.980 win percentage (101-2), a full nine points higher than Matt Lackey's.896 that stood as the best in program history for 14 seasons. Martinez is also within reach of Alex Tirapelle's all-time wins record (128) set from 2003-06. Martinez (101) needs 28 wins to pass the former Illini. Wrestler Years Win % 1.

JIM HEFFERNAN HEAD COACH 9TH SEASON (23RD OVERALL) Jim Heffernan begins his eighth season as head coach after serving as the top assistant under Mark Johnson for 19 years - 17 at Illinois and two at Oregon State. During Heffernan s time in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois has finished in the top-10 at the NCAA championships on 13 occasions, and in the top-15 in 17 of the last 19 seasons. Heffernan has been a major factor in the renaissance of the Illinois wrestling program, helping lead the team to its greatest prosperity since the post- World War II era, including a Big Ten title in 2005 and four Midlands team crowns. Heffernan has also mentored nine individual national champions in the last 18 seasons. In 2015, 157-pounder Isaiah Martinez (157) joined Jesse Delgado (125), Matt Lackey(165), Adam Tirapelle (149, 2001), John Lockhart (heavyweight, 2001), Carl Perry (141, 2000), Eric Siebert (150, 1998), Ernest Benion, Jr. (158, 1995) and Steve Marianetti (150, 1995) in earning NCAA titles since 1995. Heffernan has also guided the Illini to record-setting performances. In 2015, Heffernan guided Isaiah Martinez to the first undefeated season (35-0) by a freshman since Cael Sanderson did so in 1999 at Iowa State. In 2014, Tony Dallago became the Illinois alltime leader in career pins (40), while Alex Tirapelle set the school record for career wins (128). As a team, the Illini set the school record for dual victories in a season (16) in 2011. In 2005, Heffernan assisted Illinois in bringing home its first Big Ten Conference tournament championship in 53 years, as Alex Tirapelle (157) and Friedl (174) took home individual league crowns out of five total finalists for the Illini. For the second season in a row, the Illini won the Big Ten regular-season dual meet title with a near-perfect 7-0-1 record. The team finished sixth at the national tournament after qualifying nine wrestlers, while 125-pounder Ott made a repeat appearance in the finals. The team matched 2004 s achievement of five All-Americans in Ott (2nd, 125), Mark Jayne (7th, 133), Cassio Pero (7th, 141), Friedl (4th, 174) and Brian Glynn (3rd, 184).

Heffernan captained the Hawkeyes as a senior and grabbed Iowa s Male Athlete of the Year honor in 1987. Heffernan began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at the University of Iowa before becoming an assistant coach at Lehigh University in 1988. He remained at Lehigh until moving to Oregon State in 1990. He joined Johnson in Champaign in 1992. Before taking over as head coach in 2009, Heffernan earned national coach of the year honors three times (1995, 2001, 2003). He also coached the Cadet Wrestling Team at the world championships in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1992, and the USA World Espoir Team in 1989. 2017-18 University of Illinois Wrestling Notes // 12
