Head Coach Tim Flynn 11th Year Penn State ‘86
M
ike DeAnna, Bruce Baumgartner, and now Tim Flynn. Edinboro University has been blessed with outstanding wrestling coaches since elevating the program to Division I status in the mid-80's. Flynn enters his 11th season in charge of the Fighting Scot wrestlers, and prior to that he served as an assistant coach under Baumgartner for five years. The former Penn State All-American has produced quite a legacy in his ten seasons at the helm. Edinboro has dominated eastern wrestling circles during Flynn's reign, winning the Eastern Wrestling League Championship the last five years and nine of the last ten years, along with the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Tournament title eight times in the last ten campaigns. In addition, Edinboro has won 30 of its last 31 dual matches, along with 13 straight EWL duals. Now Flynn is working his magic nationally, as well. He has guided his last two editions to two of the most dominant campaigns in Edinboro history. The 2005-06 Fighting Scots finished with a perfect 12-0 record, the only Division I team in the country to go undefeated. They dominated the PSAC Championships, as nine wrestlers reached the finals and six earned championships, both PSAC records. Next came the EWL Tournament, where despite just two wrestlers capturing first place, nine earned a trip to Nationals, as Edinboro outdistanced West Virginia for its fourth straight EWL crown. Flynn would later be named the EWL Coach of the Year for the fourth time. Finally came a memorable three-day stay in Oklahoma City, OK. Edinboro departed the NCAA Division I National Championships with three All-Americans and an eighth place finish, the highest since the 1997 team finished sixth, and the third-highest finish ever. The three AllAmericans were the most since 2000. The 2006-07 team came back with the second straight top ten finish at Nationals, finishing ninth. The Fighting Scots once again
Page 2
had three All-Americans, including the program’s third national champion, and second under Flynn, as Gregor Gillespie brought home the title at 149 lbs. Edinboro ended the year with a 17-1 record, a school record for wins, and finished the regular season ranked sixth, the highest in school history. The lone loss came to eighthranked Penn State, and the Scots avenged that loss with a 19-17 victory later in the season to finish first in the Virginia Duals. The Fighting Scots once again won the PSAC Championship, as all ten wrestlers earned All-PSAC honors with at least a third place finish, including five champions. Three grapplers came away with first place finishes at the EWL Tournament, and eight qualified for Nationals. Flynn was later named the PSAC Coach of the Year for the sixth time. In 2005, The Fighting Scots finished 28th at Nationals, the first time that Edinboro had not finished in the top 25 during Flynn’s tenure. However, the Fighting Scots could still take solace in Shawn Bunch’s second place finish at 133 lbs. He became just the sixth Boro grappler to earn a runner-up spot. Edinboro previously recorded a 12th place finish in 2001 and a 14th place finish in 2002 under Flynn, plus a pair of 15th place finishes. Edinboro has a 111-32-3 record in dual matches under Flynn. During that period he has produced 20 All-Americans and 79 national qualifiers, capped by Josh Koscheck's national championship at 174 lbs. in 2001 and Gillespie’s last year. Koscheck became Edinboro's second all-time national champion at the Division I level, and with a third place finish in 2002, became Edinboro's first four-time All-American. In 2004-05, Flynn took a young and inexperienced lineup, and one which would battle injuries throughout the year, and led it to a 9-5-1 record. It would have been easy to use the inexperience and injuries as an excuse, particularly when the Fighting Scots failed to win their fourth straight PSAC title. Instead, Flynn rallied his grapplers to a resounding first place finish at the EWL Tournament. Bunch was the lone individual champion, but six Fighting Scots qualified for Nationals. Flynn was recognized as the PSAC Coach of the Year for the fifth time in 2004 after guiding Edinboro to a 10-3 finish and a third straight PSAC title. In 2003 he was named both the EWL and PSAC Coach of the Year. The 2003-04 Fighting Scot edition matured as the year went on, easily capturing the PSAC crown
as five grapplers brought home individual titles, one shy of the school record. Just over a month later the Fighting Scots rallied from six points down entering the final session to tie West Virginia for the EWL championship. A record-tying four Scots were crowned champions, with six Edinboro wrestlers qualifying for Nationals. Edinboro also won the EWL dual meet title for the fourth time in six seasons, unseating West Virginia with a 25-13 upset of the Mountaineers in Morgantown and ending WVU's 19-match EWL winning streak. The Fighting Scots posted a perfect 7-0 record in EWL competition. A youthful Edinboro squad surprised the experts by finishing with a 10-5 record in 2003, winning both the EWL and PSAC Championships. The Scots only finished third during the EWL dual meet season, but thanks to four first place finishes and all ten wrestlers placing no lower than fourth, Edinboro outdistanced West Virginia to reclaim the EWL Tournament crown from the Mountaineers. The PSAC Championship featured four individual champions. Matt King went on to place fourth at 165 lbs. at Nationals, with eight Scots qualifying for Nationals. The Fighting Scots posted a 10-4 ledger the year before, extending their EWL unbeaten streak to 25 straight matches before an injuryravaged team suffered a loss at Lock Haven. The Boro edged Lock Haven in the PSAC Championships, and later went on to finish second to West Virginia at the EWL Tournament.

Head Coach Edinboro's unbeaten dual match streak reached 19 in 1999-2000 before Central Michigan handed the Scots an 18-15 defeat. It would be the only setback that year, as Flynn's third team went 14-1. That included a first-ever win over Penn State by a 19-14 count in State College. Edinboro had lost its previous eight meetings with the Nittany Lions. In addition, the Scots took first place at the prestigious Virginia Duals. The Scots would win their third straight PSAC and EWL titles, with Flynn recognized as the PSAC Coach of the Year for the third straight year. He was also honored as Edinboro's Coach of the Year in 1999-2000. Eight more wrestlers headed to Nationals, securing a 15th place finish for the Scots. Joining the program as an assistant coach prior to the start of the 1992-93 season, Flynn assisted Baumgartner to a 56-21 record during his five year period as an aide, including a perfect 14-0 dual match record and a 6th place finish at Nationals, the best in school history, in '95-96. The Scots won three out of four EWL dual meet championships from 1994-97, with perfect 6-0 records each year, and claimed just the second PSAC Championship in school history in 1994-95. Following three standout seasons at Vista High School in Vista, CA, Flynn moved east to finish his prep career at Annapolis Senior High School in Annapolis, MD. He went on to enjoy a stellar career at Penn State, captaining the 1986-87 squad while earning All-American honors at 134 pounds. He went 30-10-1 as a senior, winning the EWL title and finishing seventh at Nationals. The Nittany Lions enjoyed one of their greatest seasons ever with an 181-1 record and a third place finish at the NCAA Tournament. Flynn finished with a 105-32-2 record, still ranking among the all-time TIM FLYNN’S YEAR-BY-YEAR career leaders in COACHING RECORD victories for the
Seven Fighting Scots qualified for Nationals at EWLs, with Koscheck and Cory Ace going on to earn All-American status at Nationals. Ace finished eighth at 133 lbs. Edinboro finished with an 11-3-1 record in 2001, concluding the campaign with an EWL unbeaten streak of 22 matches. The streak was interrupted by a 16-16 tie with Virginia Tech early in the season, but Edinboro went on to finish as the regular season EWL champion for the sixth time in the last eight years, including the last three seasons. The Scots were 210-1 during their 22-match unbeaten streak. Edinboro then easily outdistanced Lock Haven at the EWL Championships. To top it off, a record-tying nine Fighting Scots qualified for Nationals, helping the Boro finish with an all-time high point total in Iowa City, IA. The 12th place finish led all eastern schools, and was the highest finish by an Edinboro squad since the 1996-97 squad finished sixth. Flynn was recognized as the EWL Coach of the Year following the 2001 season. Flynn came to Edinboro following three seasons as a graduate assistant coach at his alma mater, Penn State. In his first season as head coach the Fighting Scots were only 7-7 in dual matches, but went on to win the PSAC Championship and the EWL Championship. It marked the first-ever EWL crown for Edinboro. With a record nine wrestlers going to Nationals, the Boro placed 15th at Nationals. In 1998-99, the Fighting Scots closed out the season with eight straight wins to finish at 11-3-1. For the second year in a row they captured the PSAC and EWL crowns, with eight Scots heading to Penn State for the NCAA Tournament. Edinboro finished 18th among the 79-team field. Flynn was recognized as the EWL Coach of the Year thanks to a perfect 7-0 league mark.

All three have Gillespie ranked number one, with Moricone and Fendone also showing up in the individual rankings. If youth isn’t enough of a stumbling block this season, the schedule certainly is. Flynn has always been one to seek out the best competition in the country, and that is no different this year. For starters, there’s a January 6 date on Long Island against Central Michigan and host Hofstra. Central Michigan is ranked seventh by Amateur Wrestling News, and the Chippewas placed 15th a year ago at Nationals and return three All-Americans. Hofstra finished seventh at Nationals a year ago and is ranked 17th. In addition, Edinboro will travel to Columbus, Ohio to face Ohio State on February 14.

Nationals, finishing tenth. Four All-Americans return for OSU. Edinboro will also participate in the Las Vegas Invitational and the Southern Scuffle, two events that annually attract some of the top wrestlers in the country. “We try to wrestle quality teams every year,” stressed Flynn. “It is a really challenging schedule this year. But that’s the kind of schedule you need to get ready for the end of the year.” Edinboro’s two conference tournaments will have a different look this year. The PSAC Championship has been moved up from late January to December 8. The EWL Tournament is still in early March, but instead of a two-day event, it will now be held on Saturday, March 8 in Pittsburgh. That will serve as the qualifier for the NCAA Division I National Championships, which return to St. Louis, MO from Thursday, March 20 to Saturday, March 22. The 2007-08 campaign begins on Saturday, November 3, as Edinboro hosts the Fighting Scot Duals, facing Mercyhurst, Army and Maryland. Here’s a look at the 2007-08 Fighting Scots, weight class by weight class:
125 lbs. Eric Morrill stepped in as a true freshman a year ago and did not disappoint, finishing with a 15-15 record, with seven of the losses coming to nationally-ranked opponents. The former three-time New Hampshire state champion should be a candidate for a trip to Nationals this year. “Eric had a very productive summer,” Flynn pointed out. “He’s real close to having a breakout year. It’s hard to be very successful at this level. You need to conquer your diet, the night-life, and training, among other things. He’s conquered many. I’m excited to see him this year.” Greg Sill provides the Fighting Scots with an experienced reserve. The junior doesn’t have an impressive career record, due largely to being thrown in as the starter at 125 lbs. as a true freshman, but Flynn has plenty of confidence in him. He was 5-11 a year ago. “Greg is a real leader as far as his work ethic,” noted Flynn. “He’s shown marked improvement because of that work ethic.” Redshirt freshmen Danny Whitenak and Michael Bunn provide additional depth. Whitenak saw limited action last year, finishing with a 7-4 record in open events, including a third place finish at the Buffalo Open. He may move up to 133 lbs. “Danny has changed,” Flynn commented. “His work ethic has increased and he’s done a nice job this fall. He’s grown up quite a bit in a year. We expect that to translate into more wins.” Bunn is a transfer from Missouri Baptist, where he redshirted, and is a former New York state placewinner.

2007-08 Season Preview 133 lbs. Is this the year Ricky Deubel emerges as an All-American? The former two-time Ohio state champion arrived at Edinboro in 2004 as a bluechip recruit, and he has a 48-24 record. But the junior has struggled at the EWL Tournament. Two years ago he earned a wildcard berth to Nationals after finishing fifth at 125 lbs. This past year he moved up to 133 lbs. and finished with a 24-11 record, including a win over Mark Keller of Tennessee-Chattanooga, who was ranked second at the time. But he lost both of his matches at the EWL Tournament and failed to qualify for Nationals. “Ricky is a year older and a year wiser,” stated Flynn. “He has shown he can beat the better kids in the country. He continues to work on some areas holding him back. He had a disappointing end of the year. He needs to turn that into a positive. I expect him to be one of those guys who steps up this year.” Deubel could receive plenty of push from Kyle Fluke. A year ago the four-time Pennsylvania state placewinner posted a 19-9 record as a true freshman, mostly in open tournaments. He placed in three events, including second place at the Edinboro Open. “This is an important year for Kyle,” Flynn stressed. “He has the ability to get it done. He needs to hang around the right people and embrace the program and he will have success.” Freshman Aaron Ely gives the Fighting Scots a third solid 133 pounder. Ely hails from the same high school as former Fighting Scot All-American Shawn Bunch, Leavenworth(KS) High School. While it is totally unfair to compare him to Bunch, Ely is the only other Leavenworth wrestler besides Bunch to place at the state championships all four years. Ely won Kansas state championships as a junior and senior, was a fourtime placewinner, and was named the 2007 Kansas Wrestler of the Year. He was 38-1 as a senior and posted a career record of 145-16. “Aaron may have slipped through the cracks recruiting-wise,” surmised Flynn. “He can be real good. I think he’ll be a big part of Edinboro wrestling down the road.”
141 lbs. With Daryl Cocozzo moving up to 149 lbs., this is one of two wide-open weight classes, although there are plenty of combatants. No fewer than eight grapplers are in the mix, although several are expected to redshirt. Junior Ryan Morgan and sophomore Joel Webster are the leading candidates, although freshmen Kory Bissett and Torsten Gillespie are potential starters, as well. In regards to Morgan and Webster, Flynn commented, “This is a real opportunity for those two guys. Someone has to step up. They could make this team real good. Outside of Edinboro there’s not a lot of expectations from this weight class.” Morgan, a former Ohio state champion, is a fourth-year junior who has seen limited action. He moved up to 141 lbs, last year and finished 5-4.
After redshirting two years ago, Webster, a three-time Connecticut state champion, was 12-9 last season. He earned All-PSAC honors when he moved up to 149 lbs. with Gregor Gillespie ill and proceeded to capture third place. Bissett is a two-time Pennsylvania placewinner and four-time qualifier, finishing seventh at 140 lbs. a year ago while competing for West Greene High School. “Kory is a hard-nosed kid,” related Flynn. “He may redshirt if the others are getting it done.” Gillespie is the younger brother of Fighting Scot two-time All-American Gregor Gillespie, and is fast becoming a standout in his own right. He finished his senior season at Webster Schroeder(NY) High School on a high note, finishing third at the New York state championship at 135 lbs. to cap a 43-3 season, then earning All-American honors with a seventh place finish at the High School Nationals. “Like Bissett, Torsten is a talented kid,” assessed Flynn. “He’s been a little overshadowed by his brother, but he was a high school AllAmerican. He’s starting to believe he’s good.” Joe Bockmore is a third-year sophomore who could compete at 141 or 149 lbs. He was 6-4 while competing at 149 lbs. last year. Flynn noted, “Joe looks happier and ready to go. He’s more focused on wrestling. Hopefully that will translate into more wins.” Three other freshmen will compete for time. Mike Otero placed fourth at the Florida state championship a year ago for Chaminade-Madonna Prep High School at 140 lbs., and had a 44-12 record. Tom Wipfli comes from California, where he was a three-time state qualifier. John Donaldson is another long-distance recruit, hailing from Georgia. He was a two-time state qualifier at Starr’s Mill High School. “It’s flattering that these kids are coming from all over the country to wrestle at Edinboro,”admitted Flynn. “They’re young and hard workers. They’ve heard of Edinboro and want big-time wrestling and the small-town atmosphere.”

149 lbs. With Gregor Gillespie moving up to 157 lbs., Daryl Cocozzo will seek to take his place while moving up a weight class himself. He won’t be without competition, with blue-chip recruit Thomas Straughn expected to make a strong push for the starting job. Should Straughn prevail, Cocozzo could redshirt. A year ago Cocozzo came back from a slow start to qualify for Nationals as a true freshman at 141 lbs. However, the former high school All-American failed to make weight at

Nationals, leaving for a bittersweet ending. He lost seven of his first eight matches, then came back to finish with a 17-12 ledger. Cocozzo placed third at the EWL Tournament and was a wildcard selection, and captured second place at the PSAC Championships. “This is a big year for Daryl, on and off the mat,” admitted Flynn. “He showed flashes last year of being excellent. He had a big win over Bryan Heller of Penn State at the Virginia Duals. He has the ability to compete at a very high level. He is one of the second-year kids we’ll put heat on to improve.” Straughn was the top-ranked senior in the country at 152 lbs. according to InterMat and Wrestling USA. He is a four-time Ohio state placewinner and a two-time state champion while competing at Massillon Perry High School, finishing with a 43-1 record as a senior and 164-22 career mark. “One will wrestle, one will sit,” commented Flynn in regards to Cocozzo and Straughn. “I think Thomas is ready to compete. He’s very competitive, and a hard worker. He’s a bluechip kid. I look for him to make a name for himself very quickly.” Matt Frey, a freshman from Ward Melville(NY) High School and a former attendee of Edinboro’s wrestling camps, provides additional depth.
157 lbs. Edinboro has just two wrestlers at 157 lbs., but that’s just fine with Flynn. That’s because one of the grapplers is two-time All-American Gregor Gillespie, who a year ago became Edinboro’s third Division I National Champion. He is the consensus number one at 157 lbs. Gillespie collected the title at 149 lbs. thanks to a 3-1 overtime decision against Josh Churella of Michigan. In the semifinals, he handed top-ranked and defending national champion Dustin Schlatter of Minnesota a 3-2 defeat, ending Schlatter’s 65match winning streak. Now a junior, Gillespie owns a glittery 74-6 career record. He went 40-4 while finishing seventh at Nationals as a true freshman, then was 34-2 a year ago, winning his second straight EWL title, as well. In fact, the only thing he didn’t do was win his second straight PSAC crown, missing the championships due to illness. “The sky’s the limit for Gregor,” pointed out Flynn. “He knows what it takes to win. This is a new year. I think he wants to be the first two-time National Champion at Edinboro. Winning is something that once you have a taste, you want more. It’s addictive. He’s also taking on more of a leadership role.” Also in the picture at 157 lbs. is Ricky Saxton. Saxton is a redshirt freshman who was 65 a year ago, including a fifth place finish at the Buffalo Open. “Ricky is a hard-working kid who wins all our conditioning runs. He’s another second-year guy who needs to step up.”
165 lbs. Flynn knew that replacing two-time AllAmerican Deonte Penn, who was seventh at Nationals a year ago, wouldn’t be easy. Not to mention Penn’s 114 career wins. But he received a pleasant surprise late this summer when Jarrod King transferred from Oklahoma. The King name is hardly a new one at Edinboro, as Matt King, Jarrod’s older brother, was a two-time All-American and finished his career with 132 wins, ranking fourth all-time. Jarrod was heavily recruited by the Fighting Scots, but chose to wrestle for the Sooners. He spent three seasons at Oklahoma, with his time there marred by shoulder injuries. After redshirting in 2004-05, he was the starter at 165 lbs., finishing with a 16-9 record and a final ranking of 16th. Last year he was 6-2, but missed most of the year due to injury. “Jarrod was a nice addition, and is really our first high-profile transfer in awhile,” Flynn noted. “He gives us an upper-class kid who can compete. If we can keep him healthy, he can be up on the stand this year.” Of course, Flynn had a very comfortable alternative prior to King’s arrival in freshman Paul Paddock. Paddock was a two-time New York state champion at Warsaw Central High School and is another of the blue-chip recruits from a class that was rated among the best in the country. In all, Paddock was a four-time New York placewinner who was 47-0 as a senior and won the 160 lb. state title, then went on to finish second at the NHSCA Nationals. He finished with an incredible 239-19 career record. He was rated fourth among seniors at 160 lbs. by InterMat, and was ninth according to Amateur Wrestling News. “Paul is a great recruit,” Flynn stated. “Along with wrestlers like Thomas Straughn, Chris Honeycutt, and several others, he’s the future of Edinboro wrestling. He may redshirt this year, but he works hard and he’s talented. He will be a stud.” Matt Coleman, a freshman from Massillon Perry(OH) High School, provides further depth at 165 lbs., as does sophomore Dan Snyder. Coleman earned a sixth place finish at 160 lbs. at the Ohio state championships. “Matt is an athletic kid who will really benefit from being in the room with (Phil) Moricone and (Jarrod) King. He will see results down the road.”
174 lbs. Phil Moricone took a huge step a year ago as a national qualifier in his first year as a starter, and Flynn looks for the fourth-year junior to take the next step and become an All-American this year. He enters the 2007-08 campaign ranked 12th by W.I.N. Magazine, 17th by InterMat, and 20th by Amateur Wrestling News. A former two-time New England Tournament champion and three-time New Hampshire state titlist, Moricone went 2-2 in his first trip to Nationals to finish with a 26-11 record. He placed third at the EWL Tournament and was a wildcard selection to Nationals, and won the PSAC title at 174 lbs.

Season Preview “Phil has really stepped up to be a bigtime leader,” Flynn commented. “His summer was super-productive. We expect him up on the stand, and he does too. It’s a natural progression.”
Dan Thompson is a sophomore who spent two seasons at Slippery Rock. The Rock dropped its program two years ago. In 200506, he was 3-1. Flynn feels his work ethic fits in perfect with the Fighting Scots.
184 lbs.
197 lbs.
Like the 141 lb. weight class, there is no clear cut leader at 184 lbs. Whoever wins out will have some big shoes to fill in replacing Alex Clemsen, who finished his career with 121 wins and earned All-American honors with a fourth place finish at Nationals. “Someone has to rise up from this weight and be the man,” stressed Flynn. The most experienced grappler in the group is Donald Walker, and he has battled a series of injuries. Now a senior and finally healthy, he has a 21-25 career record, including 4-3 last year. “Donald has been here four years,” Flynn stated. “He’s had injury problems in the past but is healthy now. He can be a pain to wrestle. We look for a lot of wins from him this year.” Shawn Fendone, the younger brother of heavyweight Joe Fendone, is the other wrestler to compete previously at Edinboro among the competitors. A redshirt freshman, he was 6-5 with 4 falls in open meets. As a prepster, he won the New England Championship as a junior and senior. “Shawn is another one of the second-year guys that we hope will step up,” Flynn commented. “He has shown some ability. He needs to step up his work ethic and he’ll get wins. He’ll show flashes of what we need. He needs to be consistent.” A trio of newcomers are also in the picture, with blue-chip recruit Chris Honeycutt expected to provide a stern challenge. Honeycutt hails from national powerhouse St. Edward’s(OH) High School, where he spent his last two seasons after competing his first two years at North Andover(Mass.) High School. All told, he was a four-time state placewinner, capturing the Ohio state championship at 189 lbs. and winning the same weight class as a sophomore in the Massachusetts state championship. He added a third place finish in Ohio as a junior and a second place as a freshman in Massachusetts. Honeycutt had a perfect 39-0 record as a senior, and was 154-10 for his career. He was ranked as the fifth-best senior at 189 lbs. by Wrestling USA. “Chris is a really, really athletic kid,” Flynn pointed out. “If he embraces our program and improves daily, he can win at the highest level. It’s just a question of how quickly it all happens.” A pair of transfers also look to compete for the spot. Tim Lutke is a redshirt freshman who attended Johnson & Wales a year ago, but did not wrestle. He has caught the attention of the coaching staff with his intensity.
Flynn notes there’s not a lot of depth at 197 lbs., but an interesting battle figures to shape up between Jeremy Mosley and Pat Bradshaw. Mosley saw his career interrupted by injury once again last season, sitting out the year with a shoulder injury. Prior to that the senior battled a knee injury which originated in high school. Mosley proved in 2005-06 that when he’s healthy he’s a very capable wrestler. That was the year he moved up to heavyweight after previously competing at 197 lbs. He took over as the starter in February and ended up qualifying for Nationals with a third place finish at the EWL Tournament. He finished with a 17-12 record that year, and is 24-20 for his career. “Jeremy presents problems with his length,” Flynn pointed out. “He has to stay healthy. He’s beaten some good kids, and can do very well if he stays healthy.” Bradshaw was one of the team’s top recruits three years ago, and Flynn looks for him to become a bigger factor this year after serving as the backup for starter Jim Gibson a year ago. The third-year sophomore was 12-9 a year ago. That included a strong showing at the Southern Scuffle, where he finished eighth. Bradshaw was a two-time Pennsylvania placewinner, capturing the state championship as a senior. “Pat got a taste of things last year,” noted Flynn. “He’s a little bigger, a little stronger. We expect that to parlay into more wins. He had a good summer and has improved. He needs to step up, similar to what Phil Moricone did a year ago.”
England champion and Massachusetts state champion enters the 2007-08 campaign rankedninth by InterMat, 11th by Amateur Wrestling News, and 12th by W.I.N. Magazine. “Joe finished in the top 12 last year, and the logical step now is for him to get on the stand,” assessed Flynn. “He’s gotten a little bigger. Hopefully that will help against bigger kids. He had some success last year. We need him to have more this year.” Terry Tate, who won the Pennsylvania state championship as a senior, got off to a strong start last year only to see his season come to a premature end due to a knee injury in the Michigan State Open. The week before he had handed Spaid a 2-1 defeat in overtime. Tate’s year came to a close with a 5-3 record after going 15-10 during his redshirt season. “Terry is healthy now and training really hard,” Flynn commented. “He has beaten good kids in the past, including Mike Spaid. He knows he can compete at this level. The key will be to get him matches early.”
Hwt. Like the 197 lb. weight class, the Fighting Scots have just two heavyweights, but they are both quality wrestlers. Joey Fendone moved up from 197 lbs., where he was a national qualifier two years ago, to heavyweight, and he earned his second trip thanks to a wildcard selection following a fourth place finish at EWL’s last year. After going 1-2 at Nationals in 200506, he fell one win shy of All-American status last year. Thanks to an upset of seventh-seed Matt Fields of Iowa, Fendone reached the round of 12, only to suffer his fourth loss of the season to Bloomsburg’s Mike Spaid. He nearly upset the ninth seed, forcing sudden victory before losing, 6-4. Fendone, a fourth-year junior, ended last season with a 28-12 record with 8 falls. He has a 57-21 ledger over two seasons, with 19 falls. The former three-time New

2008 Recruiting Class Ranks Among Best in Country The Edinboro 2007-08 wrestling recruiting class received plenty of notoriety. Head coach Tim Flynn assembled a class that was ranked 13th by W.I.N. Magazine and 14th by InterMat. InterMat rated Ohio State’s recruiting class as the best. Missouri was second, followed by Penn State and Virginia Tech. Minnesota rounded out the top five. W.I.N. Magazine rated Oklahoma State number one, with Ohio State second. One of the main forces behind the Buckeyes’ recruiting efforts is former Edinboro All-American and assistant coach Lou Rosselli. Virginia Tech, with another former Boro standout and aide on the coaching staff, Tony Robie, was third, with Missouri rated fourth and Virginia fifth. Here’s what InterMat had to say about Edinboro: “14. Edinboro — Just six kids, but they’re high quality. Big guns include St. Edward grad Chris Honeycutt, NHSCA senior national runner-up Paul Paddock of New York, Ohio’s Thomas Straughn and New York’s Torsten Gillespie. Honeycutt, Paddock and Straughn all have good motors and should really buy into the system that Tim Flynn has built at Edinboro. Might not be the biggest of schools, but they can win and Flynn has found a group of kids that will help continue the upward momentum of the program.”

Edinboro Wrestling 2007-08
2006-07 Year in Review Gregor Gillespie Leads Trio of All-Americans with National Championship as Scots Place Ninth at Nationals After enjoying one of the greatest wrestling campaigns in
Edinboro history in 2005-06, the question was, what could the Fighting Scots do for an encore? Consider that Edinboro was the only team in the country to finish undefeated, going a perfect 12-0. The Fighting Scots dominated the PSAC Championships, won their eighth straight Eastern Wrestling League crown, with nine wrestlser qualifying for Nationals, then placing eighth at the NCAA Division I National Championships. That’s a tough act to follow. With All-American Shawn Bunch (133 lbs.) and national qualifier Eric Ring (174 lbs.) gone, and Jeremy Mosley, another national qualifier at heavyweight, missing the season due to injury, it would have been easy to expect a letdown. But that’s not what head coach Tim Flynn is all about. In fact, Flynn stated before the season that his goal was to finish in the top four at Nationals. You could probably say that his 2006-07 Fighting Scot edition failed to live up to his expectations. Edinboro “only” finished ninth at the NCAA Division I National Championships in Auburn Hills, MI! That’s right, it was another great year of wrestling in northwestern Pennsylvania. Edinboro did finally suffer a dual meet loss, losing to Penn State in the Pennsylvania Duals by a 27-9 score, snapping an 18-meet winning streak. But they would gain revenge for that defeat just under two months later, handing the Nittany Lions a 19-17 defeat in the finals of the Virginia Duals. At the end of the year Edinboro was ranked sixth in the USA Today/NWCA/InterMat Top 25, its highest ranking ever. All told Edinboro ended the year with a 17-1 record, tying the school record for wins in a season. The Fighting Scots were once again a perfect 6-0 in EWL action, boosting its EWL winning streak to 13 straight matches. They did it with a lineup that included two true freshmen -- Eric Morrill at 125 lbs. and Daryl Cocozzo at 141 lbs. In tournament action, the Fighting Scots repeated as PSAC champions and won their eighth PSAC title in the last ten years. That was followed by a fifth straight EWL Tournament crown, and ninth in ten years. A total of eight Fighting Scots qualified for Nationals, with three earning All-American honors. That was capped by Gregor Gillespie’s per-
formance at 149 lbs. The sophomore didn’t stop at earning All-American status for the second straight year. He came away as the national champion, Edinboro’s third since moving up to Division I. With back-to-back top ten finishes at Nationals, a first since the 1988-89 season, for the second year in a row Fighting Scot fans could boast they witnessed one of the best seasons in school history.
Three Bring Home First Place as Eight Scots Place at Eastern Michigan Open Edinboro turned in a strong showing at the Eastern Michigan Open. A total of eight Fighting Scots placed, led by the trio of Gregor Gillespie, Matt Hill and Deonte Penn, all first place finishers. Gillespie captured the 149 lb. title with five straight wins, winning by technical fall over EWL-rival Ryan Hurley of Cleveland State in the finals. Hill was the winner at 157 lbs. He also won five matches, including a 5-3 decision over third-ranked Brandon Becker of Indiana in the semifinals. Penn, likewise, went 5-0 at 165 lbs. Alex Clemsen (184 lbs.) and Joe Fendone (hwt.) finished second, with Fendone losing to fourth-ranked Spencer Nadolsky of North Carolina in the finals. Phil Moricone and Jim Gibson finished third at 174 and 197 lbs., respectively, while Ricky Deubel placed fourth at 133 lbs.
Fighting Scots Win Two of Three at Pa. Duals The Fighting Scots took part in the Pennsylvania Duals, hosted by Lock Haven University, in mid-November, facing a pair of ranked teams. They had no probem subduing Millersville, winning nine of ten bouts in a 40-3 win. Next came a 26-9 defeat of 21st-ranked Lehigh. Edinboro lost two of the first three matches, but Gregor Gillespie got the Scots going with a technical fall over ninth-ranked Trevor Chinn. The Scots were also buoyed by a pair of upsets. Phil Moricone won by a 2-1 decision over eighth-ranked David Helfrich at 174 lbs., and Joe Fendone was a 13-8 winner over 16th-ranked Paul Weibel at heavyweight. Edinboro then suffered its lone loss of the year,dropping a 27-9 decision to eighth-ranked Penn State.
Boro Finishes Fourth at Southern Scuffle Behind Seven Medal Winners Facing a powerful field in the Southern Scuffle in late December, Edinboro placed fourth out of 32 teams. It marked the second straight fourth place finish in the event. Missouri, ranked number one in the country at the time, was first, with second-ranked Minnesota second and Cornell third. Seven Fighting Scots won medals, led by the Scots’ lone champion, Deonte Penn at 165 lbs. Penn won all six of his matches, decisioning 16th-ranked Chris Vondrusak of Ohio State, 4-3, in the semifinals, then winning by fall against Cornell’s Steve Anceravage, ranked tenth, in the finals. Matt Hill was second, suffering a 4-1 loss to rival Seth Martin of Lock Haven, ranked 13th, in the finals at 157 lbs.. Gregor Gillespie would suffer one of his two losses during the year, 9-4 in sudden victory to fourth-ranked Jordan Leen of Cornell. Gillespie placed third at 149 lbs. Alex Clemsen (184 lbs.) also placed third. Ricky Deubel was sixth at 133 lbs. with Joel Webster (141 lbs.) and Pat Bradshaw (197 lbs.) earning eighth place finishes.

A trio of Fighting Scots reached 100 wins during the course of the 200607 season. Alex Clemsen was the first to do it while competing at 184 lbs. He became the 11th Fighting Scot to reach 100 career wins. Win number 100 was actually one of the easiest of his career, as he won by injury default over Josh Arnone of Cornell during the Southern Scuffle. Deonte Penn, Edinboro’s 165-pounder, was next. He became the 12th Fighting Scot with 100 wins when he won by fall over Clarion’s Mario Morelli at 4:39. Finally, Matt Hill joined the century club with a 14-7 decision over Cleveland State’s Victer Crenshaw. Clemsen would conclude his career with 121 wins, Penn with 114, and Hill with 105.

2006-07 Year in Review Edinboro Wins Virginia Duals, Avenges Loss to Penn State Two Pennsylvania powerhouses met in the finals of the Virginia Duals in January. In a rematch of the Pennsylvania Duals, Edinboro and Penn State advanced to the finals. Only this time, it was the Fighting Scots prevailing. In the process they avenged their lone loss of the season with a 19-17 win. It marked the second time Edinboro had won the Virginia Duals, the other coming in 2000. After losing the first two matches to the Nittany Lions, Edinboro came back to win the next four. That included a 4-0 decision for freshman Daryl Cocozzo at 141 lbs. against Bryan Heller. Heller had defeated Cocozzo, 6-1, in the previous meeting. Matt Hill, meanwhile, won just his fourth match by fall, pinning Bubba Jenkins at 157 lbs. In addition to the win over the 10th-ranked Nittany Lions, Edinboro defeated 22ndranked Kent State, 25-12, in the semifinals, and opened the tournament with wins over Virginia Tech (43-0) and Drexel (37-6).
Edinboro Recaptures PSAC Crown; Clemsen Becomes 14th Wrestler with Four Titles Edinboro made it two straight PSAC Championships with another dominating showing. A total of five Fighting Scots won individual titles as Edinboro easily outdistanced second place Bloomsburg, 147.5 points to 119. All ten Fighting Scots earned All-PSAC honors with at least a third place finish. Among the champions was Alex Clemsen at 184 lbs. Thanks to a 14-4 win over Lock Haven’s Tom Kocher in the finals, Clemsen became the 14th wrestler in PSAC history to win four crowns. Clemsen wom all four while competing at 184 lbs. Deonte Penn won his second title at 165 lbs., winning by fall in two of his three matches. Ricky Deubel (133 lbs.), Phil Moricone (174 lbs.), and Jim Gibson (197 lbs.) picked up their first PSAC titles.
Edinboro Wins Fifth Straight EWL Title as Penn Named Outstanding Wrestler After Saturday’s second session at Cleveland State’s Woodling Gym, head coach Tim Flynn gave his Fighting Scots an earful. Flynn was not happy that only four of Edinboro’s nine wrestlers in the EWL Tournament semifinals had advanced to the finals. His team took his words to heart on Sunday, with the result a fifth straight EWL championship for the Fighting Scots. The last time a team won five straight championships was 1982-92, when Penn State won 11 in a row. In all, eight Fighting Scots earned trips to Nationals. Edinboro finished with three champions and 113 points. West Virginia was second with 104.5 points. Deonte Penn was named the Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler after winning the 165 lb. title with three straight falls in a total time of 8:51. He won his second straight title and along the way set the record for season falls with 19. That came in the finals against Pittsburgh’s Sean Richmond, with the end coming at 2:44. Gregor Gillespie joined Penn as a two-time champion, avenging a recent loss to West Virginia’s David Jauregui by defeating the Mountaineer in the 149 lb. finals, 6-3. After previously finishing second twice and third once, Alex Clemsen made it three EWL champions by winning his first crown at 184 lbs. Jim Gibson finished second at 197 lbs., Daryl Cocozzo (141 lbs.) and Phil Morocone (174 lbs.) finished third, while Matt Hill (157 lbs.) and Joe Fendone (hwt.) came in fourth. All four earned trips to Nationals as wildcard selections.
Scots to earn All-American honors, with Alex Clemsen placing fourth at 184 lbs. and Deonte Penn seventh at 165 lbs. Gillespie, seeded fifth, followed his first round decision with a 10-2 major decision over Penn State’s Dan Vallimont, the 12th seed. In the quarterfinals he met Jordan Leen of Cornell. The fourth seed had defeated Gillespie in overtime at the Southern Scuffle, but this time Gillespie prevailed, 6-2. That left him with a semifinal match against defending national champion Dustin Schlatter of Minnesota. Schlatter entered the match with a 65-match winning streak, and was 38-0 for the season and 80-1 for his career. Gillespie upset the Golden Gopher, 3-2, posting the lone takedown in the first period. In the final, Gillespie was paired against local favorite Josh Churella of Michigan, the number three seed. Churella took a 1-0 lead with a second period escape, but Gillespie knotted it with an escape in the third. Gillespie fought off an attempted takedown by Churella in overtime, and when he spun around late in the extra session for a takedown, he had a 3-1 win and the national championship. Clemsen, meanwhile, capped an injury-filled career with his first All-American certificate. The senior, seeded seventh, went 5-2 at 184 lbs., losing in the quarterfinals to second-seeded Roger Kish of Minnesota, 9-5. He would win three straight matches, including a 3-2 upset of fourth-seed Tyrel Todd of Michigan, to reach the third place match. There he met Kish again, suffering a 3-2 loss. Penn, also seeded seventh, made it back-to-back AllAmerican honors. He reached the quarterfinals before dropping a narrow 6-5 decision to Iowa’s Mark Perry, the second seed. After a win over 11th-seed Patrick Pitsch of Arizona State, he dropped a 7-5 decision to Michigan’s Eric Tannenbaum, the third seed. In the seventh place match, Penn picked up his school-record 20th fall of the season and 53rd of his career, pinning Mike Miller of Central Michigan at 4:55. Heavyweight Joe Fendone nearly made it four All-Americans, falling a win short. The sophomore suffered a second round loss to Penn State’s Aaron Anspach, the number two seed. He reached the round of 12 with a 4-3 upset of seventh-seed Matt Fields of Iowa. His next match came against a very familiar opponent -- Mike Spaid of Bloomsburg. Spaid had dominated three previous meetings, but this time Fendone nearly upset the ninth seed before suffering a 6-4 sudden victory defeat. Matt Hill, the 12th seed at 157 lbs., was unable to overcome a knee injury and ended 2-2 at Nationals, as did Phil Moricone at 174 lbs. Moricone was making his first trip to Nationals.
Gillespie’s National Championship Paces Edinboro to Second Straight Top Ten Finish The 2007 Nationals in Auburn Hills, MI hardly got off to a strong start for the Fighting Scots. It began with freshman Daryl Cocozzo failing to make weight at 141 lbs. It got worse when both of Edinboro’s wrestlers in pigtail matches, Phil Moricone and Jim Gibson, lost at 174 and 197 lbs., respectively. Then came a real scare when Gregor Gillespie went down with an injury early in his first round match. He recovered to post a 9-5 win over VMI’s Sam Alavarenga. From that point on everything went just fine for the Fighting Scots, and particularly Gillespie. With the sophomore rolling through the 149 lb. field to become Edinboro’s third Division I national champion, the Fighting Scots finished with their second straight top ten finish, placing ninth. Gillespie led a contingent of three Fighting

NCAA Division I National Champions Sean O’Day 1989 -- 134 lbs. Sean O’Day became the first Fighting Scot to claim a Division I National Championship. While competing at 134 pounds, O’Day, the third seed going in, won six matches at the 1989 NCAA Tournament in Oklahoma City, OK. He was an 11-8 winner over fourth-seed T.J. Sewell of Oklahoma. O’Day dominated his early matches, winning twice by technical fall, then posting a major decision against ninth-seed Chuck Barbee of Oklahoma State. He defeated the sixth seed, Jerry Durso of Nore Dame, in the quarterfinals before knocking off the second seed, Joe Melchiore of Iowa, in the semifinals. That capped a 35-5 season for the senior. O’Day finished his stellar career with an 116-23-2 record and was a three-time All-American.

Josh Koscheck became Edinboro’s second National Champion in 2001, capping a perfect 42-0 season with an 8-1 win over Maurice Worthy of Army, the third seed. That came a year after he lost to Oklahoma’s Byron Tucker, 30, in the title match. Koscheck was dominant in his run to the title, defeating three seeds while allowing just four points. He was a 6-1 winner over eighth-seed Nathan Coy of Oregon State in the quarterfinals, and bested Tyrone Lewis of Oklahoma State, seeded fourth, by a 7-2 count in the semifinals. In 2002 Koscheck became Edinboro’s first four-time All-American, finishing with a 128-17 career record. He never finished lower than fourth (1999), adding a second place in 2000 and third in 2002.
Gregor Gillespie 2007 -- 149 lbs. Gregor Gillespie made it three Division I national champions at Edinboro with an impressive run in Auburn Hills, MI. Just a sophomore, he came in seeded fifth and proceeded to knock off four seeds, including the first, third and fourth. He was a 6-2 winner over fourth-seed Jordan Leen of Cornell in the quarterfinals, avenging an earlier loss. In one of the tournament’s biggest upset, he snapped Minnesota’s Dustin Schlatter’s 65match winning streak, handing the defending national champion a 3-2 defeat. In the finals, he bested local favorite Josh Churella of Michigan, the third seed, thanks to a takedown in overtime, 3-1. Gillespie finished the year with a 34-2 record.

All-Time Wrestling Team In conjunction with Edinboro University’s celebration of its Sesquicentennial in 2006-07, the Athletic Department recognized its all-time teams in a variety of sports. That included a selection of the All-Time Wrestling Team. A total of twenty former wrestlers were selected. The group was highlighted by two of Edinboro’s three Division I national champions. Josh Koscheck is Edinboro’s lone four-time All-American, and captured the national championship at 174 lbs. in 2001. He finished with a 128-17 career record, including 42-0 in ’71. Sean O’Day was Edinboro’s first Division I national champion, winning the 134 lb. title 1989. He was a three-time All-American, going 116-23-2 for his career. The team also included three wrestlers who won national championships while competing on the Division II level and one NAIA national champion. Leading the way was heavyweight Dean Hall, who was the Division II titlist in 1986, then went on to finish fourth at the Division I nationals that year. He finished as a three-time All-American on the Division I level. Mike Hahesy, currently an assistant coach with the Fighting Scots, won the Division II championship in 1985 at 158 lbs., and was the runner-up in 1986. Matt Furey was a two-time Division II All-American, winning the national championship in 1985. Tom Herr was the NAIA heavyweight national champion in 1973. Two other wrestlers achieved All-American honors three times. Jason Robison competed at 190 lbs., with his highest finish second place at 190 lbs. in 1998. Tom Shifflet is also a three-time All-American, all at 142 lbs. Six other wrestlers on the All-Time Team earned All-American accolades twice. Most recently it was Shawn Bunch, who finished as the national runner-up at 133 lbs. in 2005 and was third in 2006. Tony Robie also narrowly missed capturing a national title, finishing second at 158 lbs. in 1997 after a fifth place finish in 1995. Lou Rosselli, Terry Kennedy, Matt King, and David Ray also earned All-American recognition twice, with Ray a split Division I/Division II All-American. (NOTE: only wrestlers who had completed their season prior to last season were eligible.)

Gregor Gillespie became Edinboro’s third NCAA Division I National Champion in March, defeating Josh Churella of Michigan, 3-1 in overtime, to capture the 149 lb. national title. Gillespie was named the EWL and PSAC Wrestler of the Year after finishing the year with a 34-2 record.
Rachael Lanzel enjoyed an outstanding cross country season. The junior led the Fighting Scot women’s cross country team to a tenth place finish at Nationals. Individually, she placed fourth at Nationals, the highest finish by an Edinboro female runner in years. In addition, Lanzel captured the PSAC championship and was named the PSAC Women’s Runner of the Year.

s we embark on the 2007-08 academic year, it’s hard not to take a look back and marvel at the accomplishments of the 2006-07 Fighting Scots. Edinboro athletics enjoyed a banner year, both on the playing fields and in the classroom. Edinboro won a pair of Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference championships, in women’s cross country and wrestling, while no fewer than six teams made it to the NCAA Playoffs, or had individual representatives. It’s hard to know where to start, so we’ll go by season. The football team finished at 6-5 under first-year coach Scott Browning, but linebacker Ben Stroup was named the PSAC West Defensive Player of the Year and quarterback Trevor Harris was chosen the PSAC West Rookie of the Year. Stroup would go on to be accorded first team AP Little All-America honors. Volleyball also had a major award winner, as Olivia Williams was named the PSAC West Rookie of the Year. But the fall belonged to the cross country teams. The women’s team featured a youthful lineup all year, while the men’s team was decimated by injury. Yet at the end of the year both qualified for Nationals, with the women’s team finishing tenth and the men’s squad 19th. Rachael Lanzel led the women’s team to its ninth straight PSAC title and won the individual crown. The junior would go on to earn AllAmerican honors for the second time, finishing fourth at Nationals. Dave Niemira was an AllAmerican on the men’s side. The wrestling team capped the winter season, although the wheelchair basketball team certainly gave the grapplers a run for their money. The Fighting Scot wrestlers finished in the top ten at the NCAA Division I wrestling championships for the second straight year, placing ninth. Three wrestlers earned All-American honors, led by Gregor Gillespie. The sophomore became Edinboro’s third national champion, winning the crown at 149 lbs. Alex Clemsen placed fourth at 184 lbs. and Deonte Penn repeated as an AllAmerican at 165 lbs., finishing seventh. In addition to the PSAC title, Edinboro won its fifth straight EWL crown and ninth in ten years. The wheelchair basketball team hosted the 30th National Intercollegiate Wheelchair Basketball Tournament, and nearly came away

Brooke Heath with a national title. The Scots upset secondseeded Illinois in the semifinals, then put a scare into top-ranked Wisconsin-Whitewater before eventually losing, 71-58. Jose Leep and Jason Matthews were accorded second team All-American honors, and Mike Looney was an Academic All-American. Brooke Heath continued her incredible career in the pool. The junior eraned three AllAmerican certificates at Nationals, and is now an eight-time All-American in swimming. That takes us to the spring, where the softball team made its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Playoffs. Behind the left arm of Vanessa Rose, the Fighting Scots upset Kutztown and Shippensburg before finally being eliminated. The success was just as evident in the classroom. Edinboro’s annual Scholar- Athlete Banquet included 112 honorees. That means nearly forty percent of the total student-athlete population maintains a grade-point average of 3.00 or higher. Clemsen and Lanzel were also named to the PSAC Top Ten. Clemsen was voted to the winter team for the second straight year, while Lanzel earned a spot on the fall team.

ruce Baumgartner is regarded as one of the greatest American wrestlers ever, being recognized as the US. Olympic Wrestler of the Century by Globalaccess.com six years ago and later being inducted into the Wrestling Hall of Fame. Now Baumgartner is building a solid reputation as an athletic administrator. Baumgartner was named the acting Director of Athletics in 1997, then was awarded the job permanently in ’98. As the guiding force of the Fighting Scot athletic program, Baumgartner has initiated the Annual Athletic Fund Drive, a fundraising project designed to provide athletic scholarship funds. In addition, he has initiated several other fundraising projects, including a semiannual sports memorabilia auction which has raised almost $100,000 in six years. In recent years Baumgartner has targeted improvements in McComb Fieldhouse, and the results are clearly evident. Both the gymnasium and outer lobby were modernized, with emphasis placed on the success of Edinboro’s athletic teams and student-athletes. Now comes the much-anticipated weight room renovation, expected to begin this winter. The weight room will be expanded with new equipment added. The project also calls for a video room for the teams to use, plus a new concession area. A four-time Olympic medalist, Baumgartner served as an Edinboro wrestling coach for nearly 13 years, including seven seasons as the head coach. He compiled a 70-36 record, including a 14-0 dual meet record in 1997, the best finish in school history. The Fighting Scots then went on to finish sixth at the NCAA Division I National Championships, their highest finish ever. Baumgartner affirmed his status as the greatest freestyle wrestler in American history by winning the bronze medal at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. It was his fourth Olympic medal and record-setting 13th world-level medal. Baumgartner was honored by his fellow United States Olympic athletes when he was chosen to carry the American flag for the 1996 opening ceremonies. He won his first gold medal in Los Angeles in 1984, America’s first in 60 years of super heavyweight wrestling. He added a the silver medal in the 1988 Games in Seoul, Korea, followed by a second gold medal in Barcelona, Spain in 1992. Baumgartner was honored as the winner of the James E. Sullivan Award in 1995 as the outstanding amateur athlete in the
United States. He did not lose to an American wrestler from 1981 to his retirement in 1998. He has been inducted into numerous Hall of fames, including the Wrestling hall of Fame in 2002 and the Pennsylvania Hall of Fame in 2005. As a collegiate wrestler at Indiana State University, Baumgartner won 134 of 146 collegiate matches with 73 falls. He was twice the runnerup at the national collegiate tournament, then posted a perfect 44-0 mark his senior year to capture the NCAA crown. Baumgartner was honored by the NCAA as a top “Top V Award” recipient for his athletic, leadership and academic success. He was later awarded an NCAA post-graduate scholarship after earning his bachelor’s degree in Industrial Art Education. He utilized the award to earn a master’s degree at Oklahoma State University. While officially retiring from wrestling in 1998, Baumgartner still performs a great deal of community service as a motivational speaker and camp clinician. He and his wife, Linda, reside in Edinboro with their three sons, Bryan (17), Zachary (14) and Dylan (10).
