2020

Cherrington, who was a perfect 20-0 during his final collegiate campaign, captured the 2006 NCAA National Championship at 157 pounds, just the second NCAA title for a Boise State wrestler in school history. In addition to earning first-team All-America honors along with the national title, that season Cherrington also became the first individual in school history to be named Pac-10 Wrestler of the Year. He would later go on to be named to the Pac-12 All-Century Team. Cherrington qualified for the NCAA Championships in each of his four seasons of competition, and captured Pac-10 Championships at 149 pounds (2005) and 157 pounds (2006).
