Coaches Bios Mark Branch 10th Season - Head Coach In his nine seasons, UW head man Mark Branch has raised the expectations of Cowboy Wrestling to new heights. He’s upped the profile of Wyoming Wrestling and brought the program notoriety and name recognition with levels of success rarely seen in the program’s history. With 87 dual wins and a 78-percent win rate within the conference ranks, Branch has established the Cowboys as the team to beat year in and year out. Branch has compiled a 42-12 mark against conference record foes with four regular-season dual titles. In its second season as a member of the Big 12 conference, Wyoming finished fifth at the Big 12 Championships after Branch led the team to a 7-8 overall dual record mark and 4-4 record in conference action. He led five Pokes to Nationals after the conference tournament. Bryce Meredith became UW’s second finalist at Big 12s, while Drew Templeman, Branson Ashworth, Cole Mendenhall and Archie Colgan joined Meredith in earning a spot for the NCAA Championships. It was the first trip to Nationals for Mendenhall, Colgan and Ashworth. UW brought home its 19th top-25 finish as it tied for 21st at the NCAA Championships. Led by Meredith, the junior earned his second consecutive AllAmerican status. Meredith finished fourth at 141-pounds for the Brown and Gold. His fourth-place finish was the 16th top-four finish for a Cowboy wrestler all-time at NCAAs. The Cowboys placed seven team members on the 2017 Academic All-Big 12 Wrestling team. Meredith, Tanner Miller, Luke Paine, Kyle Pope and Brandon Tribble earned first team honors, while Templeman and Nate Shaw earned second team recognition for the Brown and Gold. Branch led the Pokes to a 6-6 overall dual record in its first season as a member of the Big 12 conference. He guided three competitors to the 2016 NCAA Championship inside the iconic Madison Square Garden, as two of the Cowboys received seeds to this season’s championship with one Poke being unseeded. Tanner Harms earned his second trip to NCAAs, while Bryce Meredith and Drew Templeman made their first trips for UW. Meredith fell in the 141-pound final’s match, but became the first Cowboy to wrestle in the finals since Reese Andy in 1996. In 2014-15, he led the Pokes to a 11-4 overall dual record including a seven-dual winning streak. He led six Cowboys to the NCAA tournament and ad nine wrestlers earn All-WWC honors. He also guided Shane Woods to his third NCAA West Regional/WWC Championship. Currently, 54 Cowboys have been named All-Conference under Branch and he has sent 37 qualfiers to the NCAA Championship. Branch is currently fourth all-time in dual wins at Wyoming. His 11 dual wins was the fifth time he has had double-digit dual wins in his career at UW. In 2013-14, he helped bring the Pokes back from a 1-6 start in dual action to finish 6-6 overall, but more importantly, 4-1 in WWC duals to win the regularseason title. The Cowboys knocked off 19th-ranked North Dakota State in the season finale to win the crown. In tournament action, UW brought home two Reno Tournament of Champions titles and placed two at the Las Vegas Invitational. Beginning the postseason in the West Regional, UW claimed three more weightclass crowns to up Branch’s total to 23 in six seasons. The Pokes were second in the event, as the squad has placed first or second in each of the previous six years. Currently, 45 Cowboys have been named to the All-WWC squad. Four Pokes earned bids to the 2013 NCAA Championships, bringing the head man’s total to 31 over six years. UW failed to earn an All-America honor for the first time in Branch’s tenure. Under Branch, UW has had eight All-America finishers. “Mark has done a phenomenal job since 2008 in terms of developing a nationally competitive program and helping our student-athletes achieve their goals,” Wyoming Athletic Director Tom Burman said. “He and his family have proven to be a great fit for Wyoming and he understands the state and the values of its residents. The Cowboys have reached unprecedented heights on the mat and in the classroom and I expect that to continue into the foreseeable future.” With Branch’s help, senior Joe LeBlanc capped off a stellar career in 2012, earning four All-America nods, the first wrestler in UW history to do so. That same season, UW finished 19th in the team standings in 2012, the first top-20 finish for the Pokes since 1996. The dual season was a successful one, as the Cowboys were 10-3 and a 6-0 in WWC action. Wyoming won its third-straight West Regional tournament team title as four Wyoming wrestlers won titles. In 2010-11, Branch had a stellar campaign. After spending the season ranked in the top 20 in the nation, Wyoming won its second consecutive West Regional title with five individual titles. Branch was named Western Wrestling Conference Coach of the Year at the event for a second time in his career. Branch also helped six Cowboys earn berths to the NCAA Championships. Shane Onufer (165) and LeBlanc (184) earned All-America honors by placing fifth and sixth, respectively, to lead Wyoming to a 28th-place team finish. The Cowboys compiled an 11-7 overall dual mark and 5-1 in the WWC. UW’s lone dual loss in WWC action came against Northern Iowa. In 2009-10, Branch directed the Cowboy wrestlers to the West Regional team title over 24-time defending champion Northern Iowa. The come-from-behind championship was Wyoming’s first-ever West Regional team title and UW’s first tournament conference championship team since 1992. Four UW wrestlers went to the NCAA Championships, as LeBlanc went on to finish fourth at the event to earn his second All-America accolade and was named the WWC Wrestler of the Year. The Cowboys finished 33rd and Branch was named the 2010 West Region
Coach of the Year by Wyoming also had a successful dual season in 2009-10, winning the WWC regular-season dual title for the second-straight year with an overall season record to 12-3 and a WWC record of 6-0. The Pokes ended the regular season 25th in the nation in the National Wrestling Coaches’ Association/ USA Today Coaches Poll. UW had seven wrestlers earn All-WWC honors. On July 14, 2008, Branch was selected as the 14th head coach in the history of the University of Wyoming Wrestling program. Branch’s first season guiding the Cowboys (2008-09) signaled an immediate turnaround for the program. UW earned a share of the WWC regular-season dual title with a 5-0 record. At the West Regional tournament, Wyoming finished second with four champions and sent four Cowboys to the NCAA Championships, where LeBlanc finished fifth to become the first freshman in UW wrestling history to earn AllAmerica honors. Following his first season at UW, Branch was named WWC Coach of the Year, the West Region Coach of the Year by D1CW and the Top Rookie Coach in the nation by Amateur Wrestling News. Branch also oversaw a squad which earned nine All-WWC honors in 2008-09, the most of any WWC member institution. He was nominated by his peers to be a part of the 2009 National Wrestling Coaches Association Leadership Academy Class. Branch came to Wyoming from Oklahoma State University where he was the associate head wrestling coach for six years, as well as a four-time NCAA finalist as a student-athlete. He was a part of five NCAA team championships as a coach and student-athlete at OSU. As a college wrestler, Branch was a member of OSU’s 1994 NCAA Championship team, and served on the coaching staff for OSU’s 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 NCAA titles.

He was instrumental in the recruiting of student-athletes to Stillwater, as well as organizing fundraising projects, promotional strategies and assisting in public relations functions with student-athletes. “For me, this is the realization of my goal to become an NCAA head coach,” Branch said. “I’m from a competitive background, and I was looking for a place where I could build a nationally competitive program. I believe there is a great deal of support from the Athletic Department and the University as a whole at Wyoming. Wyoming is the right program for me and the right fit for my family and I. I appreciate the confidence that Tom Burman and (UW Senior Associate Athletics Director) Matt Whisenant have shown in me to get the job done.” Branch has been a freestyle wrestling coach for the Gator Club in New Orleans, La., since 1997 where he provides personal instruction and training in freestyle wrestling.

UW Hall of Fame University of Wyoming Athletics Hall of Fame Wrestling Inductees The University of Wyoming Athletics Hall of Fame was established in 1993, in order to honor individuals and teams who have brought honor and distinction to the Intercollegiate Athletics Department of UW over its long and storied history. The inductees must fit into one of five categories: student-athlete, coach, team, athletics staff members or special achievement. Special achievement includes individuals who have contributed to the ideal of sports at the University. Each nominee must receive at least 75 percent of the committee’s vote to be eligible for induction.

He placed second in the 1958 NCAA Championships and fourth in the 1959 NCAA Championships. Ballinger guided Wyoming to a sixth-place national team finish in 1959 and a Wyoming all-time best third-place team finish in the 1960 NCAA Championships. Dr. Everett D. Lantz (1937-65) - Class of 1994 Everett Lantz served Wyoming wrestling for 25 years as head coach, the longest tenure of any coach in the UW history. Over that period, Lantz compiled a 141-75-9 dual record, 11 Skyline Conference championships and two WAC titles. His teams won eight titles in a row from 1955 to 1962. He notched seven top-15 NCAA finishes, including a third-place national showing in 1960, the best in team history. Lantz was named the NCAA Wrestling Coach of the Year in 1960. He coached six NCAA place-winners, 10 three-time conference champions and 30 other conference winners. 1959-60 team - Class of 2003 The 1959-60 Wyoming Cowboys became the first and only wrestling team in school history to finish in the top five at the NCAA Wrestling Championships. The Pokes won the Skyline Conference and finished the season with an 11-1 dual record. The team boasted five conference champions and seven Cowboys competed at the 1960 NCAA Wrestling Championships where UW came only 13 points away from the title, finishing third. Dick Ballinger won the national championship at 167 pounds, Jerry Frude finished second at 147 pounds and Dave Hansen placed third at 123 pounds, all earning All-American honors. Wyoming head coach Everett Lantz earned 1960 NCAA Coach of the Year honors from the National American Wrestlers Association.

Named WAC Coach of the Year three times (1983, 1985 and 1986), he was a finalist for 1986 NCAA Wrestling Coach of the Year. Dowler was an Associate Athletics Director at UW from 1987-2001. Following his retirement, he initiated and coordinated the “W” Club for all UW athletic letterwinners.

He was named Outstanding Wrestler of the WAC Tournament in both 1991 and 1992. He led the Wyoming wrestling team to conference championships in 1990 and 1992. In his senior year (1992) he earned All-America honors by finishing eighth at the NCAA Championships. He won 121 matches as a Cowboy, tied for sixth on Wyoming’s all-time victory list.

He again finished second in the nation in the 147-pound weight class in 1960, while Wyoming finished third as a team. After sitting out a year in 1961, Frude rejoined the team in 1962 and was named co-captain. He won his second Skyline Conference championship at 147 pounds and won his first two matches at the NCAA Championships before falling to eventual national runner-up Kirk Pendleton of Lehigh. A native of Laramie, Frude was never pinned by an opponent during his college career. Wyoming’s wrestling teams finished sixth (1959), third (1960), and 11th (1962) in the nation during Frude’s time at UW and won the Mountain States/Skyline Conference team championship each year (1959, 1960 and 1962). Dr. Robert Mason (1949-51) - Class of 2011 A high school football and basketball star, Bob Mason had never seen a wrestling match before he came to the University of Wyoming. After watching the sport and talking to wrestling coach Everett Lantz, he decided to join Wyoming’s wrestling team. A native of Burns, Wyo., he won the conference championship in his first year of competition. Wyoming’s first wrestling All-America, Mason placed fourth in the nation at 155 pounds in 1950. He repeated that feat in 1951 to gain his second All-America honor. In the Mountain States Conference, Mason won championships at 165 pounds in both 1949 and 1950 and, as team captain both years and led his team to conference titles in 1950 and 1951.

He went on to a distinguished career as a high school and college wrestling coach and official and earned a doctorate in education from the University of Washington. He was inducted into the National Junior College Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 1980 and inducted posthumously into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2008. Mason died on March 18, 2000, at the age of 70. Ray Sanchez (1967-68) - Class of 2012 One of the greatest Wyoming high school wrestlers in state history, Ray Sanchez came to the University of Wyoming after compiling an amazing record of 98-0 and winning four state championships at Cheyenne Central High School. He was a two-time senior men’s National AAU champion in 1965 and 1966 and a two-time Great Plains National Champion representing Wyoming in 1966 and 1967. Sanchez was undefeated competing for the Cowboys’ Freshman Team in 1966. As a Cowboy sophomore on the varsity in 1967, despite battling an elbow injury, Sanchez finished fourth in the nation at 115 pounds and earned All-America honors. Unfortunately, he suffered a back injury the following year and was forced to give up wrestling. He went on to a successful career as a teacher, coach and high school administrator.

Academic Support/Awards Office of Academic Support The Office of Academic Support provides assistance to UW student-athletes in a variety of areas, including academic development, career development, and personal growth and development. Cowboy wrestlers meet with Academic Coordinator Steven Cox weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly to discuss their current classes and to cover academic success and career preparation topics. Cox preadvises the wrestlers for their semester class schedules, ensuring that their classes apply directly to their degree program, in order to meet NCAA eligibility benchmarks and to guarantee that the student-athletes graduate from UW within five years. Student-athletes must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours each semester, and they must take into consideration their practice and travel schedules when registering for classes. The Office of Academic Support helps student-athletes in this process. A staff of nearly 80 tutors is also available to assist studentathletes. The tutors work with student-athletes to clarify problems the students may have with class material and, in some cases, to help
