The 2004-05 women's college season is fast approaching, and the coaches and athletes in the various women's programs are starting preparation for the season. TheMat.com will review the recruits for each program, and the impact that these new athletes will have on their teams.    The two most successful teams in women's college wrestling, Cumberland College and Missouri Valley College, had large recruiting classes this year, including a number of athletes who have been high achievers. The other returning college varsity teams, Pacific Univ., Lassen College and Menlo College, beefed up their lineups with incoming students.     MacMurray College, which has a club program, recruited a solid group of new athletes as the school looks to build the team into a varsity in the future. The program at Bacone College brought in its first woman athlete.     TheMat.com takes a look at each of the college teams and their crop of newcomers.    Missouri Valley College    The Vikings landed the largest recruiting class of the college programs, with 15 athletes, many with impressive national reputations. Coach Carl Murphree's recruits include three members of TheMat.com/ASICS Girls High School All-American team, as well as a nationally-ranked transfer who is already proven on the college level.    The transfer is Tabithia Ramsey, a sophomore who wrestled at UM-Morris before the team was dropped, and earned a No. 3 ranking on the college level at the end of last season. Ramsey is originally from Texas.    Sadie Kaneda of Hawaii comes in at 105.5 pounds, and was an ASICS Second Team member. She was seventh at the U.S. Senior Nationals at 112 pounds last year while in high school. She also won a gold medal at the USGWA High School Nationals.    The other two ASICS Team members are Astrid Gomez of Texas at 121 pounds and Rachel Billerbeck of Texas at 138.75 pounds. Gomez made the ASICS Second Team, and Billerbeck made the ASICS Third Team. Gomez placed second at the USGWA Nationals last year, and Billerbeck was third in the USGWA meet.    Based upon what upper class athletes are returning and what weight classes they choose, Kaneda, Ramsey and Billerbeck have an opportunity to challenge for starting positions on the Viking team, and could make a big impact on the team right away.    You might have noticed that Texas, one of the two states with an official high school state meet for girls, was a big factor in this year's class.  Murphree brought in eight athletes who are from Texas in this year's crop of newcomers. Hawaii, the other state with a high school girls championship, contributed two new members of the Missouri Valley team.    Two of the other recruits were All-Americans at the USGWA Nationals this year, Chanea Meletia of Hawaii at 138.75 pounds and Norine Cruz of California at 105.5 pounds. Meletia was sixth at the USGWA Nationals last year, and was also a Hawaii state high school champion. Cruz, who was eighth at the USGWA meet, had a strong performance in placing second at the Junior Nationals last summer in Fargo, N.D.    This group of recruits will have to earn the respect of their teammates, as Missouri Valley is bringing back a solid team of veterans from last year. However, this class of newcomers will add to the already impressive depth in the Viking wrestling room, and it is always hard to tell which recruits will develop into winning college athletes.    Missouri Valley College recruiting class  105 - Sadie Kaneda, Honolulu, Hawaii  105 - Norine Cruz, West Covina, Calif.  112 - Tabithia Ramsey, Elgin, Tex. (transfer soph.)  112 - Jennifer Aniano, Roseville, Mich.  112 - Carmen Ramos, Houston, Texas  112 - Britney Sevey, North Pole, Alaska  121 - Astrid Gomez, Hereford, Texas  121 - Sarah Schumacher, San Antonio, Texas  121 - Katherine Bareeda, Frisco, Texas  121 - Hope Jones, Midland, Texas  130 - Stephanie Haver, Katy, Texas  130 - Maria Dunn, Tamuning, Guam  138.75 - Rachel Billerbeck, Plugerville, Texas  138.75 - Chanea Meletia, Haliewa, Hawaii  138.75 - Shannon Silvett, Hemet, Calif.    Cumberland College    Coach Kip Flanik increased the depth of his strong team with a group of 10 new wrestlers. As the Patriots have a large and talented group of upperclassmen returning, most of these newcomers will have to pay their dues in training and competition before they make a major impact on the team's results. This is a talented group, however, including four members of the 2004 TheMat.com/ASICS Girls High School All-American team.    One athlete should have an immediate impact on the team, Heather Martin of Ohio at 147.5 pounds. Martin was a member of the ASICS First Team, and is already a star on the Senior level. Martin was second at the 2004 U.S. Senior Nationals, and was a FILA Junior Nationals champion last year. She also won a title at the USGWA High School Nationals. Martin will be expected to start for Cumberland and compete nationally immediately.    Jessica Medina of California, projected for 105.5 pounds, placed eighth at the 2004 U.S. Senior Nationals at 112 pounds. She made the ASICS team as honorable mention, with a fourth place at the USGWA Nationals and a fifth place as the Junior Nationals.    The two other ASICS Team members in this class are Chelsea Rountree of Kentucky at 121 pounds and Tabitha Golt of Virginia at 147.5 pounds. Roundtree has placed at many USA Wrestling age-group events. Golt was third at the USGWA Nationals last year.    Another USGWA placewinner from last year is Elizibeth Hernandez of Florida, projected at 158.5 pounds, who was 12th at the USGWA meet last year. Another talent in the upper weights is Theresa Fennell of Texas, who was a Texas state high school champion last year. Three of the recruits were Texas state high school runners-up, Ana Ramey at 105.5 pounds, Deseree Cazeras at 112 pounds and Emmy Thompson at 138.75 pounds. Another recruit was a Junior National placewinner in 2003, Melissa Gerard of Michigan at 105.5 pounds. This recruiting class adds balance to the Cumberland room, and could make an impact in years to come.    2004-05 Cumberland College recruiting class  105.5 - Jessica Medina, Pomona, Calif.  105.5 - Melissa Girard, Norway, Mich.  105.5 - Ana Ramey, Houston, Texas  112 - Deseree Cazeras, South Grand Prairie, Texas  121 - Chelsea Roundtree, Crestwood, Kent.  138.75 - Emmy Thompson, Watuga, Texas  147.5 - Heather Martin, Wellington, Ohio  147.5 - Tabitha Golt, Chesapeake, Va.  158.5 - Theresa Fennell, Amarillo, Texas  158.5 - Elizibeth Hernandez, Valirico, Fla.  158.5 - Lisa Obregon, San Antonio, Texas    Pacific University    Coach Scott Miller added a nice class of freshmen who should add some depth to the program. The Boxers have had success since joining the women's college scene, and this group will play a part in the continued development of the team.    It is possible that none of these freshmen will be starters right away, because Pacific returns an experienced athlete in every weight class. However, there is talent among the athletes coming in.    Coach Miller is impressed by Valerie Prise of California at 105.5 lbs., who was sixth at both the USGWA High School Nationals and the Junior Nationals last year. He expects big things from Prise in the upcoming seasons.    Two other athletes who placed eighth at the USGWA Nationals will be joining the team, Jazmine Cockett of Hawaii at 130 pounds and Sammi Jo Edwards of Oregon at 147 pounds. Both should see considerable action this season. Another freshman recruit, Titilope Lawani from California, has impressed Miller and should be an impact athlete on the team right away.    As has been the pattern in recent years, Pacific has done well with athletes from Hawaii, one of the two states with an official high school state tournament. This year, four Hawaiians come to Pacific as freshmen, to join two others who return to the team from last season.     Pacific Univ. recruiting class  105.5 - Valerie Prise, Diamond Bar, Calif.  121 - Crystal Okamoto, Kihei, Hawaii  130 - Jazmine Cockett, Honolulu, Hawaii  138 - Titilope Lawani, Rialto, Calif.  147 - Sammi Jo Edwards, Fields, Ore.  147 - Anela
