HEAD COACH DREW BLACK POSTS 100TH CAREER WRESTLING
VICTORY AT WESLEYAN
On Sunday, January 25, 2009, Wesleyan defeated the Coast
Guard Academy, 33-9, to begin a series of three matches at home on the day.
That win provided Head Coach Drew Black, in his 11th season at the helm of
Cardinal wrestling, with his 100th career victory. After defeating
Southern Maine, 25-16, and falling to Johnson & Wales, ranked first in New
England and 21st nationally in Division III, by a close 21-18 count, Coach Black
held a career mark of 101-93-1 with the Cardinals.
A 1992 graduate of Syracuse University and former head
coach at Phoenix College in Arizona, Coach Black came to Wesleyan in 1998 and
also serves as Wesleyan's strength and condition coach. He led Wesleyan to
its winningest-ever wrestling season in 2001-02 with a 17-2 dual-match record.
Above, Coach Black is joined by his 2008-09 squad, some former team members, and
directly in front of him, his son, Sean, and daughter, Leah.
