University of North Dakota Athletics

Martinson was one of the most decorated wrestlers in program history, leaving a special mark following his two seasons at UND.

After a two-time All-American run at Bismarck Junior College, Martinson joined North Dakota and immediately brought his success with him by recording the highest place finish in program history after getting second at the 1985 NCAA Division II Nationals.

Martinson followed up his strong rookie campaign with an individual NCC title and a sixth-place finish at nationals in 1986 to earn back-to-back All-American honors, as the 1985-86 team finished as the best in school history with a 12-3 dual meet record while Martinson finished with a 58-16 career record at UND.
