Gone, Lost & Forgotten: Their Best = Upsala

Used as a shooting location for the 2001 Penny Marshall film Riding in Cars With Boys, Upsala College was at one time a liberal arts institution that competed in NCAA Division III athletics.  Due to financial problems, a declining enrollment & the loss of accreditation the school was permanently closed in 1995.  I'm not sure when the school first fielded a wrestling team, but they had one up until the very end. 

Greg Evans

Evans had a standout career for the Vikings, going 102-12 over four seasons & taking third place All American honors at the 1982 NCAA Division III championships.

He later moved to Oklahoma, where he found himself head coach of three different programs.  Tulsa Union, Broken Arrow & Bixby High Schools.  Within the three he produced thirty five state champions, that included seven three timers & one four timer.
