The resume is sparkling.

From his prep career where he was a three-time Illinois State medalist and a Fargo All-American to his current collegiate career, North Central College’s Robbie Precin has won a lot.

But the answer you get when you ask Precin what remains fresh in his mind on a daily basis during his senior season as a Cardinal is not the one you expect.

Surprisingly, it won’t be his undefeated run to the 133-pound NCAA Division III championship last March in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019.

Saturday, March 13, 2021.

Those two dates will remain fresh every time Precin takes the mat whether it is practice or a competition.

The significance of those two days?

On those two days, Precin, who picked up his 100th career victory for NCC last week against Wisconsin-La Crosse, suffered his only two collegiate losses.

Three. That is the number of points between Precin being 102-0 in his collegiate career and 100-2.

Precin lost to two-time All-American and 2019 national runner-up Mike Tortice of Wisconsin-Whitewater in the Concordia-Wisconsin Open semifinals, 3-2, as a true freshman in the 2019-20 season but didn’t lose again that season earning the # 2 seed at the NCAA championship prior to COVID cancelling them.

A year later, again with the championships cancelled, the NWCA stepped in and held their own championships in Coralville, Iowa, for Division III wrestlers, and this time it was a 4-2 sudden-victory loss to Coe College’s Brock Henderson in the 133 final.

“I do not like losing,” Precin said. “Those losses really stick to me…really stick to me. Those loses drive me every single day. I could say a lot more about those…but I’m not going to.”

Cardinal head coach Zach Cook has been a close witness to Precin’s competitiveness and says that holds true to Precin's nature.

“That loss in the finals…that hurt him,” Cook said. “He came back and didn’t allow a single offensive point all last season. He was dominate in every way and he widen the gap.

“He just doesn’t want to lose. That doesn’t just mean competitions. You better be ready to go when you are his partner in practice.”

It is going to be a big weekend for Precin, the younger brother of former Northwestern three-time all-American Brandon Precin and current NCC assistant, as well as the Cardinals.

NCC will host its 58th Invitational this weekend and one day later its women’s team will be holding their own invitational.

Saturday’s men’s field is loaded with second-ranked Augsburg, fourth-ranked NCC, sixth-ranked John Carroll, seventh-ranked UW-Whitewater and 10th-ranked Wabash College to name a few.

And potentially, at 133, there could be a rematch of last year’s national championship match between Precin and John Carroll’s Andrew Perelka.

“We got a lot of good teams — men’s and women’s — traveling in. It will be a fun weekend,” Cook said.

Cook says Precin will approach it as another day to compete and that approach is consistent and it doesn't matter if it is guy like Perelka or guy with losing record, it is go dominate and widen the gap while doing it.

“To me it is another day, another wrestler, another tough wrestler and it is my job to go out and do my job for our team,” Precin said.

It is not always business for Precin, who will bring video game systems to tournaments to let his mind wander away from competition. And, Cook says off the mat Precin is light-hearted, loves to joke and is a huge Spiderman fan.

“He will come into the office, and obviously his brother is on staff, but he will come hang out, watch film, joke around,” Cook said. “But when it is time to turn it on…now it is serious business.

“He is not a very vocal leader, but he is so consistent in his approach. You know you have your off days, you are not feeling your best, there is something not going perfect that day in your day-to-day life and it is struggle.

“Well, you never know that with Robbie. He is so even keel. He just comes to work and does it.”

Winning another title is most certainly Precin’s object as well as doing his part in helping the Cardinal potentially bring home a team trophy.

But the two-time Academic All-American who will graduate in the spring with a degree in sociology does have a COVID year left if he wishes to wrestle another season.

But the day-to-day guy Precin is, is undecided.

“I really haven’t given it much thought,” he says. “It is something I’ll probably think about after the season. But, not right now.”
