GUNNISON, Colo. – Former Mountaineer wrestlers who helped Western State to five top 10 national finishes and two conference championships under Head Coach Greg Waggoner can relive the memories this fall during the Waggoner Era Wrestling Reunion Oct. 8-10 in Gunnison.
Coach “Wags” followed the footsteps of the legendary Tracy Borah in the 1985-86 season and continued as head coach through the 1996-97 season. Waggoner coached two national champions, 29 All-Americans, five NWCA All-Academic wrestlers and two Colorado Collegiate team championships. He split duties between wrestling and as athletic director for three seasons before focusing as athletic director in 1997.
Waggoner was also a member of the NCAA Wrestling Committee from 2002-06 and as the Division II Wrestling Chair from 2004-06.
Events for the week start off with a horseshoe tournament, complete with a take-home bracket for the winner, Friday afternoon. The highlight of the weekend will be the Western State Wrestling Reverse Raffle Saturday night before a farewell brunch Sunday morning.
Forms to RSVP for specific events will be posted in the near future on the
Western State Alumni Relations Web site.
