CHAMPIONS SCOTT COLLINS CLEARFIELD, PA. » 1991 »

142 POUNDS

Ranked No. 1 in the nation all season, Scott Collins became WVU’s first national champion in 1991 after posting a stellar 40-1 record in his final year as a Mountaineer. Collins went undefeated in Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) action and set WVU’s then all-time consecutive win streak (23) as a senior, including five straight at the NCAA Tournament. “He started as a true freshman and competed very successfully. Every year, he was someone who was capable of placing at the national tournament and competing to be in the finals. It never happened for him. It really drew upon him to have some strength of character to not lower his goals and continue to have that dream of wanting to be a national champion.” – Coach Craig Turnbull

DEAN MORRISON AMITYVILLE, N.Y. » 1994 »

177 POUNDS

Dean Morrison entered the 1994 NCAA Championships on a seven-match win streak and finished the tournament with five straight wins to claim a national title at 177 pounds – WVU’s second-ever title in program history. Morrison, ranked No. 2 nationally, defeated three ranked opponents to make the championship match. He defeated Wyoming’s Reese Andy, 3-2, in the finals and finished the season by winning 22-of-23 matches. “Dean being an engineering major and an NCAA champion were equally as unlikely, so it was a testament really to his ability to set goals that were outside of his reach when no one believed they were possible and make them a reality.” – Coach Craig Turnbull

GREG JONES » THREE-TIME CHAMPION 2002 » 174 POUNDS

SLICKVILLE, PA.

It will long be remembered as one of the greatest accomplishments in West Virginia history. Greg Jones became just the 10th freshman since 1970 to win a national championship.

REVIEW

Third-year coach Tim Flynn led the Mountaineers to a four-win dual season and a 10th-place finish at the 2020 Big 12 Wrestling Championship before the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rising redshirt junior Noah Adams’ performances highlighted the 2019-20 season, as he won the 197-pound title at the conference tournament to cap an undefeated season at 32-0. Adams, a two-time NCAA Qualifier, was the nation’s second-seeded wrestler heading into the NCAA Tournament. The 197-pound grappler earned All-America First Team honors from the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA), becoming WVU’s first All-American since 2018, and received the 2020 Harman Award, an honor given to West Virginia’s amateur athlete of the year. He also became the first wrestler in program history to be named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Year and the second to be picked as a finalist for the WIN Magazine/Culture House Dan Hodge Trophy.

BIG 12

CONFERENCE

Over the last six years, the Big 12 Conference has added eight affiliate members in the sport of wrestling. In the summer of 2015, six schools of the Western Wrestling Conference – Air Force, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, South Dakota State, Utah Valley and Wyoming – announced its addition to the Big 12’s wrestling competition. Two years later, the Big 12 added Fresno State and Northern Iowa to give the conference a 12-team field. WVU placed 10th at the 2020 Big 12 Wrestling Championship before the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rising redshirt junior Noah Adams’ performance in the 197-pound weight bracket highlighted the tournament, as he defeated South Dakota State’s Tanner Sloan in a 5-1 decision to earn WVU’s first individual conference title since 2017. The Coal City, West Virginia, native finished the year undefeated with a 32-0 mark and was the nation’s second-seeded wrestler heading into the NCAA Tournament. At season’s end, he became the first wrestler in program history to be named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Year and the second to be picked as a finalist for the WIN Magazine/ Culture House Dan Hodge Trophy.

COLISEUM

West Virginia wrestles its home matches inside the 14,000-seat WVU Coliseum. Director of Athletics and Associate Vice President Shane Lyons, in conjunction with the Mountaineer Athletic Club, continues to make significant progress in the Climbing Higher Campaign with the announcement of a major leadership gift to replace the 50-year-old Coliseum seats in the summer of 2020. Along with the seats, capital funds were provided to replace the video and ribbon boards in the arena that same year. The Coliseum floor also received a new look in the summer of 2019, in addition to more than $20 million in upgrades in 2016, becoming one of the nation’s supreme showcases for college wrestling. Whether it is during the day, when the sun shines down on the massive structure, or at night, when its golden lights make it an evening showcase, the Coliseum stands as one of the most striking facilities on the WVU campus.

HEAD COACH

TIM THIRD SEASON

» PENN STATE, 1990

Tim Flynn enters his third season at the helm after being named the ninth head coach of the West Virginia University wrestling program in April of 2018. Under his guidance, Flynn has led the Mountaineers to a couple of four-win dual seasons and saw six wrestlers qualify for the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. WVU placed 10th at the 2020 Big 12 Wrestling Championship before the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Noah Adams’ performances highlighted the 2019-20 season, as he won the 197-pound title at the conference tournament to cap an undefeated season at 32-0. Adams, a two-time NCAA Qualifier, was the nation’s second-seeded wrestler heading into the NCAA Tournament. The 197-pound grappler earned All-America First Team honors from the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA), becoming WVU’s first All-American since 2018, and received the 2020 Harman Award, an honor given to West Virginia’s amateur athlete of the year. He also became the first wrestler in program history to be named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Year and the second to be picked as a finalist for the WIN Magazine/ Culture House Dan Hodge Trophy. Additionally, Adams went 5-0 to claim the 197-pound bracket at the prestigious Southern Scuffle. For his efforts, he was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Wrestler.

In his first season guiding the Mountaineers, Flynn led the program to a four-win dual season, which included a 19-17 win over No. 20 North Dakota State at the South Beach Duals on Dec. 30, 2018. The squad would go on to finish ninth at the 2019 Big 12 Championship. WVU also produced five podium finishers at the conference tournament and sent five wrestlers to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2014. Four Mountaineers earned automatic bids, while one grappler received an at-large selection to punch his ticket. Adams was one of the five wrestlers to make an appearance, competing on the national stage for the first time in his career. West Virginia also has enjoyed great success off the mat since Flynn’s appointment, earning 20 Academic All-Big 12 honors. Additionally, Adams was named an NWCA Scholar All-American last season. Flynn came to West Virginia from Edinboro, where he spent 21 years building the Fighting Scots into a wrestling powerhouse. He compiled a 223-95-5 career record to become the school’s all-time winningest coach and a member of its Hall of Fame. His accomplishments at Edinboro totaled 150 national qualifiers, 38 All-Americans, 64 Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) champions and 97 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) champions. He led the

Fighting Scots to five top-10 finishes at the NCAA Tournament, 14 top-20 finishes and 18 top-25 finishes. Flynn engineered two of the best seasons in Edinboro wrestling history, with his 2014-15 squad placing third at nationals – the program’s highest-ever finish – and earning four All-America honors. His 2013-14 squad recorded a fifth-place finish at the national tournament, with three All-Americans. The Fighting Scots ended the year with an 11-3 record, winning 10 of their last 11 duals, including a 17-16 win over No. 6 Pitt. He received NWCA NCAA Division I Coach of the Year honors, shared InterMat Coach of the Year honors with Minnesota’s J Robinson and was selected as WIN’s Dan Gable Coach of the Year. He was the EWL Coach of the Year seven times and the PSAC Coach of the Year 13 times. Flynn also coached three national champions (John Koscheck at 174 in 2001, Gregor Gillespie at 149 in 2007 and Jarrod King at 165 in 2009) and eight NCAA runners-up. Under the former Penn State All-American, Edinboro dominated eastern wrestling circles, winning the EWL Championships 15 times, including eight straight from 2003-10, along with 16 PSAC tournament titles in his 21 campaigns. At one point, Edinboro won 34 of 35 EWL dual matches, which included a 29-match winning streak. Before taking over the head coaching duties, Flynn was an assistant at Edinboro under legendary coach and Olympian Bruce Baumgartner from 1992-97. Flynn assisted Baumgartner to a 56-21 record, including a 14-0 dual-match mark and a sixth-place finish at the 1996 NCAA Tournament. Following three standout seasons at Vista High in Vista, California, Flynn moved east to finish his prep career at Annapolis Senior High in Annapolis, Maryland. He went on to enjoy a stellar career at Penn State, captaining the 1986-87 squad, while earning All-America 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 18-1-1 record and a third-place finish at the NCAA Tournament. Flynn finished with a 105-32-2 collegiate record, still ranking among the all-time career leaders in victories at Penn State. He also won the EWL 126-pound title as a junior in 1986, finishing with a 30-7-1 mark, and qualified for nationals as a sophomore after finishing second at the EWL Championships. He was a four-time Midlands Championships place winner, a two-time Mat-Town USA champion and was an Espoir National freestyle runner-up in 1984. Flynn, who is currently a member of the NWCA Leadership Group, graduated from Penn State in 1987 with a bachelor’s degree in business management. He later earned his master’s degree in business administration from Penn State with a concentration in finance in 1990. He and his wife, Tanya, have two children - Logan and Riley.

The 197-pound grappler finished his redshirt sophomore campaign with several postseason accolades, most notably earning National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) All-America First Team honors, as well as becoming the program’s first Big 12 Wrestler of the Year award winner. In Moore’s first season in Morgantown, he helped five Mountaineers qualify for the 2019 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, marking the first time since 2014 that five grapplers earned themselves a spot at nationals.

ASSISTANT HEAD COACH

CLIFF THIRD SEASON

» IOWA, 2004

Cliff Moore, a former NCAA champion at 141 pounds for Iowa, is in his third season at West Virginia University and was announced as an assistant head coach on April 17, 2018. His responsibilities include managing the day-to-day operations of the West Virginia wrestling program, assisting with the organization of the team’s travel and coordinating community outreach work and fundraising opportunities. Moore also serves as an integral part of the recruiting process and has assisted in bringing in the No. 12-ranked recruiting class via FloWrestling for the upcoming 2020-21 season.

As a team, West Virginia earned four dual-match wins and placed ninth at the 2019 Big 12 Championship. Moore previously spent 12 seasons at Edinboro, helping coach Tim Flynn build the Fighting Scots into a wrestling powerhouse. His specialty is with the lighter weight classes, as he helped produce two NCAA champions, seven NCAA finalists and 21 All-Americans for the Fighting Scots. In addition, Edinboro has won seven Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) Championships and 10 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) titles with Moore on staff. Prior to Edinboro, Moore spent two years with the Iowa wrestling program. After serving as the strength and conditioning coach during the 2004-05 season, he became an administrative assistant in his second year at his alma mater. As a Hawkeye, Moore earned All-America status three times in addition to claiming two Big Ten titles. After competing at 133 pounds for three consecutive seasons, Moore moved up to 141 his senior year. He posted a 33-2 record after defeating Matt Murray of Nebraska in a 5-2 decision at the 2004 NCAA Tournament, ending his final season with 20 straight wins and a national title. The Dubuque, Iowa, native notched a 109-24 career record and was named the 2004 Mike Howard Award winner, an honor given to Iowa’s most valuable wrestler. After redshirting his freshman year, Moore notched a 17-3 record at 133 pounds. He then took over as the starter during the 2001-02 season, eventually earning All-America honors with a sixth-place finish at nationals.

2021 SEASON

PREVIEW 2021 Season Preview 2021 Schedule 2021 Quick Facts

56 58 58

SEASONPREVIEW At last, wrestling season is here. The West Virginia University wrestling team is preparing to begin its 2021 campaign on Sunday, Jan. 10, after coming off a season last year that was shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 took away the Mountaineers opportunity, including two-time NCAA Qualifier Noah Adams, to compete at the 2020 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, and there was a very good chance the Coal City, West Virginia, native could have gone through the entire season undefeated and been standing at the top of the podium at NCAAs. The offseason challenges that followed were certainly different than what the squad is accustomed to, but the Mountaineers are happy to be back on the mats competing. Following a couple four-win dual seasons, third-year coach Tim Flynn can see some light at the end of the tunnel for his squad. “It has been a long two years as far as winning, and we want to get more wins,” Flynn said. “We know we are in a competitive conference. We know we are going to run into some storied, top-10 programs, but there is a difference. In college wrestling, you can lose a dual meet 30-0 and have every single bout down to the wire. The score looks bad, but man, that was a tight match.

“We’ve had some losses where it wasn’t like that, so we need to be more and more competitive. We want to win. Being young is not an excuse for losing. There are plenty of young kids that win. Why can’t Peyton Hall be that guy. Why can’t Peyton Hall win the national tournament. Other kids have won it as a freshman. That’s how we try to approach it. We want to get more wins, and we want to start to put some kids on that stand at the NCAA Tournament.” Here’s what you need to know heading into the new campaign: » West Virginia returns eight starters from its young squad a season ago and will begin the 2021 season with a trio of wrestlers ranked nationally at their respective weight classes, including Adams in the top spot at 197 pounds according to a trio of media outlets. » The redshirt junior ranks No. 1 by Intermat, FloWrestling and The Open Mat. He was crowned a Big 12 champion a year ago, defeating South Dakota State’s Tanner Sloan in a 5-1 decision to earn WVU’s first individual conference title since 2017. » Adams became the second Mountaineer in school history and the first since Greg Jones (2005) to boast an undefeated record, carrying 32 wins into the NCAA Championships. » In an impressive sophomore campaign, Adams was the first wrestler in

program history to be named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Year and the second to be picked as a finalist for the WIN Magazine/Culture House Dan Hodge Trophy. » Adams also earned All-America First Team honors from the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) for the first time in his career and received the 2020 Hardman Award, an honor given to West Virginia’s amateur athlete of the year, as selected by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association. » At 125 pounds, redshirt junior Killian Cardinale is ranked by a trio of media outlets. The Bristow, Virginia, native appears at No. 12, according to Intermat and FloWrestling, and is ranked No. 13 by The Open Mat. » Cardinale comes to Morgantown after spending the previous two seasons at Old Dominion. A qualifier for the 2020 NCAA Tournament, Cardinale finished the 2019-20 campaign with 25 wins, defeating six ranked opponents in the process. He also earned NWCA Division I All-America Honorable Mention honors last season.

quad and one tri-meet, as well as duals against Big 12 foes Northern Colorado and Iowa State.

» Junior Caleb Rea comes in at No. 20 in FloWresting’s latest top-25 poll. The Weirton, West Virginia, native also ranks No. 23 in The Open Mat poll at his weight class of 141 pounds. Rea posted 17 wins last season, including six victories against conference foes.

» West Virginia will face four teams ranked in the most recent NWCA Coaches’ Top-25 Poll, including Big 12 foe Iowa State who sits inside the top 10 at No. 9. » The Mountaineers rank as high as No. 21 in the latest tournament top-25 poll by Intermat and The Open Mat. Tournament rankings are associated with individual wrestler’s rankings and predicts how teams could finish at the 2021 NCAA Tournament.

» West Virginia welcomed a 10-man freshmen class to Morgantown this fall. The class, which ranked as high as No. 12 in the national recruiting rankings, combined for 13 high school state titles and includes four wrestlers listed among the top 100 national recruits by at least one wrestling outlet, including No. 31 Hall, No. 48 Brayden Roberts, No. 71 Caleb Dowling and No. 83 Anthony D’Alesio. Hall and Roberts are listed on the Mountaineers’ probable starters for opening weekend and will look to make their collegiate debut in one of the three dual competitions this weekend.

» The 2021 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships are currently scheduled for March 18-20, in St. Louis, Missouri, with bracket sizes and qualification criteria to be determined based on season participation. The NCAA also ruled that all athletes competing this year will receive an extra year of eligibility.

» This year’s slate will accommodate for a shortened season, with most dates featuring multiple contests. The home schedule consists of one

» Additionally, the Big 12 Championship will return to the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the fifth consecutive year on March 6-7.

NCAACHAMPIONS SCOTT

DEAN

CLEARFIELD, PENNSYLVANIA 1991 » 142 POUNDS

AMITYVILLE, NEW YORK 1994 » 177 POUNDS

Ranked No. 1 in the nation all season, Scott Collins became WVU’s first national champion in 1991 after posting a stellar 40-1 senior season. Collins went undefeated in EWL action as a senior. In fact, he set WVU’s then-all-time consecutive wins streak with 23-straight victories, including five straight at the NCAA Tournament.

Dean Morrison entered the 1994 NCAA Championships with a sevenmatch win streak and finished the tournament with five-straight wins, plus a national championship, WVU’s second-ever. Ranked No. 2 heading into the tournament, Morrison defeated three ranked opponents to make the finals. He defeated Wyoming’s Reese Andy 3-2 in the finals and finished the season by winning 22 of 23 matches.

As a member of WVU’s nationally ranked 14-1 team and EWL regular season dual meet champions, Collins turned in an outstanding career; at the time, he was tied for first on WVU’s all-time career wins list with a 119-34-4 record. The three-time NCAA qualifier was the EWL champion as a senior. Collins went on to lead the Mountaineers to a sixth-place national finish. For his efforts, Collins was named co-EWL Wrestler of the Year and is ranked second in EWL history for most dual wins by a 142-pounder. Collins helped the team win two EWL titles. “He started as a true freshman and competed very successfully. Every year, he was someone who was capable of placing in the national tournament and competing to be in the finals. It never happened for him. It really drew upon him to have some strength of character to not lower his goals and continue to have that dream and goal that he wanted to be a national champion. “When we went to Iowa, he was the No. 1 seed and worked himself to the finals. To be in the finals after not placing before is unusual and he found himself wrestling an Iowa wrestler in the finals while we were competing at Iowa. He probably had about 12-13,000 people getting ready to cheer against him. It wasn’t that normal progression of placing several times and really having that seasoned feeling once you got your shot in the finals. I think it took a lot of his internal strength and focus. The match was one of the better ones that evening and it came down to a 6-6 score with 30 seconds left. Scott was the one who scored the winning takedown. It was a very dramatic moment for him and a significant moment for the program. To me, it was a very significant coming-of-age moment for the program.” – Coach Craig Turnbull

Morrison posted a 33-3 record his senior season, which tied him for fifth on the all-time senior wins list at WVU, a ranking he still holds today. Those 33 wins also tied him for most wins by a 177-pounder and put him at 10th on WVU’s top season list. It was his second straight 30-win season. Two of his losses came to future Olympian Les Gutches of Oregon State at the Las Vegas Invitational and the NWCA All-Star Classic. Morrison won his third consecutive EWL championship in 1994, the first Mountaineer to accomplish the feat. During the season, Morrison won the Navy Classic and Great Plains Invitational and placed second at the WVU Open and the Las Vegas Invitational. He ranks sixth on WVU’s all-time wins list with a 103-32-2 record. “Dean is a great success story. He had never won a New York state title. I believe he placed once, but he never placed in a national tournament. He was a very average student out of high school. When he applied to the university – we were recruiting him out of high school – he was denied admission. We took him to a committee to appeal that and they decided to give Dean an opportunity. Dean worked hard enough. It took a while and he had to go at a slow pace. He graduated in engineering, and when he left the university, he was a three-time Eastern Wrestling League champion and an NCAA champion. “Dean, being an engineering major and an NCAA champion, were equally as unlikely, so it was a testament really to his ability to set goals that were outside his reach when no one believed they were possible and make them a reality.” – Coach Craig Turnbull

GREG

SLICKVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA THREE-TIME CHAMPION 2002 » 174 POUNDS 2004 » 184 POUNDS 2005 » 184 POUNDS

2005 » 184 POUNDS

Greg Jones capped off one of the greatest collegiate wrestling careers in NCAA history by becoming just the 39th wrestler to ever win three national championships. He also became the first wrestler from the Eastern Wrestling League to ever win the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Wrestler title. Jones, a Slickville, Pennsylvania, native took home his third championship with a 5-3 decision against Cornell’s Tyler Baier. Jones dazzled the 16,302 fans in attendance at the Savvis Center. He jumped out to a 2-0 lead and then extended it to 5-1 before Baier earned two points late in the period.

finals, Jones entered the NCAA Championships as the No. 2 seed. Jones showed two losses entering the tournament, one of them coming to top-seeded Otto Olson of Michigan and the other coming by way of injury default, meaning that the last time Jones was outscored in a match was Dec. 1.

The match concluded the story of WVU’s greatest wrestler, as Jones left with a 126-4 career record. In 2004-05, he outscored his opponents, 298-82, and was taken down just 10 times in 130 career matches.

Although he battled nerves in his first appearance at the NCAA Championships in Albany, New York, he quickly got into a comfort zone. He won by scores of 17-10, 8-3, 10-4, 15-5 and 12-5 and was not taken down after the first round.

For the second-consecutive season, Jones finished 2004-05 with an undefeated season. Only Oklahoma State’s Steve Mocco and Jones finished the year undefeated.

2004 » 184 POUNDS

Jones turned in one of the finest individual seasons by a WVU wrestler in school history, going a perfect 26-0. He also became the first Mountaineer to win multiple national titles with his 184-pound championship in St. Louis. Jones posted his third victory of the tournament over Ben Heizer of Northern Illinois and won his second crown, 10-5, in front of 15,081 fans at the Savvis Center. Jones’ performance was so dominant that he did not give up an offensive point during the entire 2004 NCAA Tournament, going 5-0. He opened the season by winning the prestigious Midlands Classic title in late December. Jones’ unblemished start led to WVU’s first undefeated season. He won his third-consecutive EWL crown, leading the Mountaineers to a share of the 2004 EWL Championship title. His 7-0 record in league contests earned him the EWL Points Champion award. Jones was then named the EWL Wrestler of the Year for the second time in his career.

2002 » 174 POUNDS

It will long be remembered as one of the greatest accomplishments in West Virginia history. Greg Jones became just the 10th freshman since 1970 to win a national championship. Coming off a tiebreaker win over Edinboro’s Josh Koscheck in the EWL

[

]

In the finals, Jones went up against Greg Parker of Princeton. Jones scored the first takedown of the match and dictated the tempo from there. Parker was no match for Jones’ speed and strength, and Jones went on to the title. “Greg was given advice often that ‘you should probably go somewhere else because you don’t want to be in the shadow of your brother (Vertus). How are you going to match what he accomplished? He won four EWL titles, was in the NCAA finals twice and was third the other time.’ “I think having an older brother is a tremendous help. His title match in the EWL Championships as a freshman was against a defending national champion from Edinboro. It was an overtime win, and I think it provided Greg with a lot of confidence going into the national tournament. He really took it one match at a time and wrestled a very confident semifinal match and made the finals as a freshman. It really was a credit to Greg and also his background, family support and brothers’ support. “People, when they look at a career like Greg’s, they just think he did really well and everything came easy. There were tremendous challenges, especially coming from that second season and going into the next two, learning the things that he needed to from that year and coming back with a new perspective of what he had to bring to the practice and his preparation. He won the next two and was named the Outstanding Wrestler his senior year. In the three national tournaments that he won, he was only scored on once with offensive points and that was his first match – as a freshman, he gave a takedown up and was never scored on again offensively. I think historians will put Greg into a category of one of the greatest wrestlers in NCAA history.” – Coach Craig Turnbull

His defining match occurred in the consolation semifinals against No. 4-seeded Manny Rivera of Minnesota when he came away victorious, 9-5. The win for Rader made him just the sixth Mountaineer wrestler in school history to earn multiple All-America honors when he did so during the third session of the NCAA Championships in Detroit.

However, his most impressive feat came in the semifinals when he used a cradle to pin No. 6 seed Thomas Gilman of Iowa in just 52 seconds, advancing to the NCAA finals, where he lost a 9-5 decision to No. 4 seed Nathan Tomasello of Ohio State to end his magical run. Though he did not come away with a national title, Moisey made his way into several record books. He became the first WVU All-American since 2007 and the 30th overall and was the first Mountaineer to wrestle for a national championship since Greg Jones did so in 2005. Moisey also was the first unseeded wrestler to make it to the NCAA finals since 2003. Moisey returned to the national spotlight in 2018 following an injury, upsetting No. 7 seed Taylor LaMont of Utah Valley in the fourth round of wrestle-backs to earn All-America status for the second time in his career.

2020 » 197 POUNDS COAL CITY, WEST VIRGINIA COVID-19 took away the Mountaineers opportunity, including two-time NCAA Qualifier Noah Adams, to compete at the 2020 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, and there was a very good chance the Coal City, West Virginia, native could have gone through the entire season undefeated and been standing at the top of the podium at NCAAs. Leading up to NOAH ADAMS nationals, Adams defeated South Dakota State’s Tanner Sloan in a 5-1 decision to capture the 197-pound title at the 2020 Big 12 Wrestling Championship. He completed the 2019-20 season with a perfect 32-0 record, as well as a 13-0 mark against conference opponents, tying for the most wins by a WVU sophomore. In an impressive sophomore campaign, Adams was the first wrestler in program history to be named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Year and the second to be picked as a finalist for the WIN Magazine/ Culture House Dan Hodge Trophy. Adams, a No. 2 seed in the 197-pound bracket at NCAAs, also earned WVU’s Red Brown Cup, an award given to the University’s most outstanding student-athlete, and received the 2020 Hardman Award, an honor given to West Virginia’s amateur athlete of the year, as selected by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association. Additionally, Adams was crowned the 197-pound champion at the prestigious Southern Schuffle and was awarded the event’s Most Outstanding Wrestler after going 5-0 with three wins over ranked opponents at the two-day tournament.

SHANE LYONS In his sixth year as the director of athletics at West Virginia University, Shane Lyons’ vison for the athletics program is crystal clear. It’s a vision that focuses on the betterment of more than 500 student-athletes and the dayto-day needs that will help them succeed in the classroom and in competition, and it is working. His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU athletes and coaches. His honest, fair and caring approach has led to success on and off the field. Whether it’s regularly scheduled meetings with the student-athletes or his open-door office policy, Lyons has his finger on the pulse of his student-athletes, coaches and staff. His success has brought national exposure to West Virginia as Lyons’ presence is wanted on many national and prestigious committees. He chairs the all-important Football Oversight Committee and is also a member of the NCAA Council. Additionally, Lyons serves on the NCAA Working Group on Transfers, the Football Competition Committee and the NCAA Wrestling Academics Enhancement Working Group. His work with WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s senior leadership team and the Big 12 Conference has brought additional respect and positive exposure to his department and the University. He served on the Big 12 Administration Committee, Finance and Budget Committee and the Game Management and Officiating Subcommittee, while chairing the Big 12 athletic directors committee in 2018. In the office, he devotes endless energy to his Climbing Higher facilities master plan that will keep West Virginia a strong Power 5 institution and position his department for growth and continued success. His Climbing Higher facilities master plan isn’t about keeping up with the Joneses, it’s about taking what his department has, improving it and making it complete for the student-athlete. It’s an aggressive, $100 million fundraising campaign centered on one of his core values - enhancing the student-athlete experience. The campaign is already making a difference with a complete renovation of football’s Milan Puskar Center and the future emergence of an Olympic Sports Performance Center. And, coming in 2021, Lyons will lead the celebration of the 50th birthday of the WVU Coliseum and oversee the installation of 14,000 new seats, a new videoboard, lighting and sound system for the venerable structure.
