Tom Erikson Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 This is an opportunity to lead an established woman's program as the Head Wrestling Coach answering only to the Director of Athletics. Woman's wrestling is one of the fastest growing sports at the Collegiate level and competes in the WCWA (Woman's Collegiate Wrestling Association) and this is a great opportunity to come in and run your own program.
