Province put together one of the best careers in UCO’s illustrious wrestling history from 2000-04 in capturing four consecutive NCAA Division II national championships at 133 pounds.  He’s one of just 20 four-time national champions in the history of collegiate wrestling at any level.
 

A prep standout at Claremore High School, Province redshirted his first year with the Bronchos and then won the Midwest Regional and national titles in 2000-01 to cap a 34-10 season, becoming UCO’s first freshman Division II national champion.  He came back as a sophomore in 2001-02 to go 34-11 in repeating as regional and national champion while leading the Bronchos to their first team national crown since 1995.
 

Province missed the first semester of his junior season to an elbow injury, but was unbeatable upon his return and ended up a perfect 26-0.  He claimed regional and national titles for the third straight season, claiming Midwest Regional Wrestler of the Year and Division II National Tournament Outstanding Wrestler honors in the process as UCO won the team national championship.
 

Province capped his career in 2003-04 with another dominating season, going 36-1 -- the lone loss coming to the Division I national champion -- while winning the regional and national championships once again.  He finished with a 130-22 career record, ranking fifth on UCO’s all-time wins list, and had 60 bonus-point wins with a school-record 33 major decisions.  Province, who never lost a home match, was inducted into the NCAA Division II Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2013.
