A Message from Head Coach John Hangey
Rider Wrestling has produced eight All Americans in the past nine seasons. In addition, we have won 24 individual Conference Championships, had 47 NCAA Qualifiers, earned a team dual meet record of 112-63, had a Top 20 NCAA finish in 2021 with two other Top 25 finishes at the NCAA Championships since 2012.
This year we qualified three student athletes for the NCAA Championships; Ethan Laird, McKenzie Bell, Quinn Kinner.
Ethan Laird earned All American honors by placing 6th at 197 pounds becoming the programs 19th AA and 21st including Covid. He also became the second NCAA Semi Finalist in the past three years, joining Jesse Dellavecchia in 2021.
RIDER WRESTLING NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT
The Standard of Excellence that you have all come to expect and enjoy cannot be done on hard work alone. The Raise Your Game Challenge gives YOU, the supporters of Rider wrestling, the ability to directly impact our program. ALL contributions help offset the necessary costs of maintaining a high-level NCAA Division I program.
Additionally, the renovation of our current wrestling room is a critical upcoming initiative. With your support, plans are to start the construction this summer and re-name it the Gary Taylor Wrestling Facility.
