Wes

Glon 30th year at Penn State

Now entering his 30th season with the Nittany Lions, Coach Wieslaw (Wes) R. Glon, joined the Penn State fencing program as assistant coach in 1985. Since being on the staff, Glon has been an integral part of Penn State’s fencing achievements which include thirteen combined Men’s and Women’s NCAA Championships and eight second place finishes.

Glon took the reins as Interim Head Coach in August 2013 and quickly set about the task of leading Penn State to its 13th NCAA Championship, an NCAA record. Glon led the Lion men’s team to a 22-3 overall record while the women compiled a 16-10 mark. He then led Penn State to the NCAA title as eight Nittany Lion fencers earned All-America honors, including sophomore Kaito Streets, who won the NCAA men’s saber individual title. Glon was named 2014 Coach of the Year at Penn State and 2014 Coach of the Year by the United States Fencing Coaches Association (USFCA) for his efforts.

He was permanently appointed to the Head Coach position this past July.

“It is an honor to be named the head coach of the most successful fencing program in the country,” Glon said. “I will strive to continue the tradition of success and integrity that the Penn State fencing program is known for nationally. I look forward to the challenges ahead and to the opportunity to continue Penn State’s legacy of success.”

A native of Poland, Glon was a very accomplished fencer on the Polish National Team, representing his country at many international competitions. He won Poland’s highest fencing honors in saber six times between 1975 and 1981 and was bronze medalist at the 1979 World University Games in Mexico City.

Glon earned both his undergraduate and graduate degrees in physical education from the Academy of Physical Education in Warsaw. In addition to fencing, his academic interests have included track and field, soccer, physical therapy and sports medicine. From 1977-81, Glon was assistant professor of physical education at the Academy of Physical Education in Warsaw. He left Poland in 1981, and for two years lived in Vienna, Austria where he assisted with coaching the Austrian National Team. He immigrated to the United States in 1983 and served two years as the assistant men’s coach at William & Mary College where he worked with the saber team.

Coach Glon has the highest international referee rating for all three weapons and is one of the top fencing officials in the world. He is involved with the United States Fencing Association and has served for the last four years on its Board of Directors as Elite Coach Director. Glon is also on the Collegiate Mid-Atlantic / South Regional Fencing Committee,

HEAD COACH WES GLON

which is has chaired in the past.

Fencing Master Glon has coached many U.S. national teams, including teams for the Junior and Senior World Championships (1989-1998), the Pan American Games (1991), and the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games. Over the years, many of his athletes have represented the U.S. on the international arena and have won top honors in their respective weapons.

In 2013, he was named Team Captain for both the Men’s and Women’s National Teams and has lead them to be a dominating power house in the fencing world.

Glon is married and has two daughters, one of which, Nicole, was a senior on the 2014 Lady Lion fencing squad and helped lead Penn State to the NCAA crown.

George Abashidze is in his sixth year at Penn State and brings a long list of collegiate and international coaching experience with him as he looks to help guide the Nittany Lions win another NCAA crown.

Long-time international fencing coach Alexei Sintchinov has been named an assistant coach with the Penn State fencing teams.

Sintchinov joins head coach Wes Glon’s staff after three years as an assistant coach at Ohio State.

A former member of the USSR’s National Foil Team, Abashidze’s team competed in numerous international tournaments and he won his nation’s foil crown as an athlete. Before coming to the United States, George coached the Georgian National Team.

Sintchinov has an extensive fencing resume and has been a professional coach since 1976. He is also a Master of Sport in Fencing.

During his international coaching tenure, he was the head coach of the Belarus, Egypt and Tunisia National Teams. During his time with Belarus, Sintchinov was named Honored Coach of Belarus in 1991. He was the head coach of the 2000 Egypt Olympic Team.

Abashidze came to the United States to coach at a fencing club in Portland, Ore., before taking an assistant coach position at Ohio State. While in Columbus, Abashidze helped Ohio State’s foilists win five NCAA individual titles.

Among his athletes were Olympians Monica DeBruin and Hanne Thompson (a teammate of Penn State’s Doris Willette on the U.S. women’s foil team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics) whose team won the Silver Medal.

The new Nittany Lion was a sought-after private and club coach from 2004-2011 before making the move into collegiate coaching, joining the Buckeye Staff in 2011. Sintchinov spent three years in Columbus, helping guide Ohio State to the 2012 NCAA Championship.

Sintchinov went to school at the Belarussian State Institute of Physical Culture and Sport with a specialty in coaching and teaching.
