Olympic wrestler and former USOEC greco coach Jim Gruenwald has accepted the position of head wrestling coach at Wheaton College as of this evening. He was preceded by Dan Weber and takes over a team that had its first All-American since 2003 this year. Gruenwald will be the third coach in the last three seasons at Wheaton, hopefully bringing some stability to the program.
Tremendous catch for Wheaton! Jim is a great coach, great person, and great wrestler!
Pretty amazing hire, especially for a DIII. Congrats to Wheaton
Did Weber resign, or did Jim just become available?
As stated in the interview above, Weber is going to Zambia to be a missionary. It was always a one year appointment for him.
