University of Mary Athletics

Providing an immediate impact on one of the top wrestling programs in the country, Justin Currie was a four-time All-American at the University of Mary during his career, one of only six Marauders to accomplish this feat.
 
Travelling south down Highway 83, the native of Minot, ND, arrived at the University of Mary in the fall of 1996. Despite joining a team that was the NAIA national runners up the year before, Currie made a name for himself. As a freshman, he placed 5^th at the 1997 NAIA championships at 142 to help the Marauders place 2^nd nationally once again. Moving up a weight class to 150, Currie also improved his national standing, finishing 4^th place as UMary claimed 5^th.  A team captain as a junior and senior, he set a career-high for wins (40-7) and pins (23) as he claimed 5^th at nationals with UMary placing 6^th overall. Currie wrapped up his career in impressive fashion. A conference champion for a 3^rd straight year, the conference most valuable player and a regional champion for the 3^rd time, Currie was the NAIA national runner-up at 157 while leading UMary to 3^rd place as a team. He finished with a mark of 37-2.
 
Over the span of his career, Currie was a 4-time NAIA All-American, a 3-time conference champion, a 3-time regional champion and a 2-time team captain with a record of 137-25.
