Coach Burlingame will be pushing us into Central Regionals. Come on over and practice. Matt Burlingame enters his seventh year as the head coach of the Manchester College wrestling program. He spent the 2006-07 year as the assistant wrestling coach at Manchester and helped coach the Spartans to a third place finish at the Midwest Regional. Additionally, two of his wrestlers qualified for the DIII National Championship and one became Manchester 's 22nd All-American. Matt has twelve years of coaching experience as well as a Division I wrestling background. Prior to joining the Manchester program, Matt coached high school in Kansas, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. In his coaching career, he coached five individual state champions, seven state place winners and numerous state qualifiers. He also helped coach these teams to league and regional championships and two top ten finishes in the state tournament. Matt graduated from Virginia Tech in 1995 with a B.S. in Fisheries Science. While at Virginia Tech, Matt was a four-year starter and three-year co-captain for the Hokies’ wrestling program. During his tenure, Matt was a Virginia Intercollegiate League State Champion and three-time place winner, a four-time Colonial Athletic Conference place winner and graduated 10th on the Hokies’ all-time win list. Following graduation from Virginia Tech, Matt received a M.S. in Biology from Kansas State. Matt and his wife, Julie, and their three children Emma, Elijah, and Isaiah reside in North Manchester.

Thank you Coach Warthan!!! Great night! Even a week after state finals kids will show up and try and improve for next year!! We had 24 kids from Jeffersonville, New Albany, Floyd Central, and New Washington. Coach Warthan did a great job preparing us for regionals, and showing us a little "funk"

Tonight is the night!

Tonight from 5:30 to 7:30 we will have Uindy’s head coach – Jason Warthan in to run a practice. We still have been having 30-40 kids in to train together, please send those over to work with coach warthan that you can! The following week will be Coach Burlingame from Manchester. BIO Jason Warthan will head into his fifth year at the head of the UIndy wrestling program in 2013-14. Warthan, a Greyhound wrestling alum, mentored the program's first National Champion in 2011. Warthan has coached five All-Americans and twelve national qualifiers. This past season, Coach Warthan's Greyhounds finished 19th in the nation behind two All-Americans and four national qualifiers. Junior Alex Johns finished fifth at 125-pounds and classmate Cameryn Brady took seventh at 149-pounds. The Greyhounds finished fifth in the NWCA All-Academic team race, while nine members were honored with All-Academic selections. The Greyhounds finished with a 5-2 dual record with wins over #5 Wisconsin Parkside and #15 Maryville, and fourth in Super Regional 3. In 2011-12, Warthan led UIndy back to Nationals, with a trio of Greyhounds qualifying for the NCAA Division II Championships. Freshman Josh Kieffer came home from the meet as an All-American, taking sixth in the 125-pound weight class. In addition to Kieffer's All-American finish, Ethan Harris became the first UIndy wrestler to earn NWCA All-Academic honors all four years of his career. The 2010-11 Greyhounds finished the year with a dual meet record of 4-5, with a pair of national qualifiers in Nick Walpole and Matt Irwin. Both earned All-American status, with Walpole taking the 149-pound national title and Irwin taking sixth at 141. Warthan's first year, 2009-10, the Greyhounds posted a dual record of 10-9 with three national qualifiers. Warthan returned to UIndy after a successful coaching career at Columbus North High School. There, Warthan spent five years as the head wrestling coach, leading the team to five straight sectional championships, a regional title, a semi-state title and the school’s first team state appearance. He’s mentored six all-state grapplers, including the school's first individual state champ, a runner-up and 11 state qualifiers. At UIndy, Warthan was a three-time qualifier for nationals, earning All-America status in 2000. The two-time Midwest Classic and 2000 Midwest Regional champion racked-up an impressive 88-28 (.759) career record as a wrestler. He was also a three-time Little State champion as a Greyhound, a two-time team captain, two-time team MVP and was named the 2000 Midwest Regional's Most Outstanding Wrestler. Warthan also ran cross country and was a decathlete in the spring for the Greyhound track and field team. He finished third in the decathlon in 2001 and fourth in 2002 at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships. In the classroom, Warthan was an Honor Roll student and twice made the Dean’s List. He was named a Verizon Academic All-American wrestler in his senior season.

40 kids from 4 area schools showed up and worked on positioning drills along with transitions from high crotches to gut wrenches for freestyle state finals. Coach Lowers was intense, and gave a great speech on "attitude and effort" at the end of the practice. 2 RTC's left as we push towards regionals, hope you can make it down! Still a good room going!
