Anderson Resigns as Duke Wrestling Coach

DURHAM, N.C.-Duke University Vice President and Director of Athletics Kevin White announced on Wednesday the resignation of Duke wrestling head coach Clar Anderson. Anderson has served as the wrestling head coach since the 1997-98 season.  “It has been a privilege working for Duke University and especially with outstanding student athletes,” Anderson said. “A highlight of my career is when our team garnered the highest GPA in the country for wrestling teams and coaching Konrad Dudziak in the NCAA finals.  But equally important to me was the deep relationships I forged with all of my athletes.  I will miss coaching, but look forward to the next stage of my life and spending more time with my family.”  In his 15 seasons with Duke, Anderson compiled a career record of 101-125-2. He helped guide 14 Blue Devils to the NCAA Championships and mentored two-time All-American heavyweight Konrad Dudziak. He was named the ACC Coach of the Year in 2004 after guiding Duke to a third-place finish at the ACC Championships with four All-ACC selections and four NCAA qualifiers. In 2008, Anderson amassed a career-high win total with a 12-9 overall record.  Rest of the story at http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22467&SPID=1834&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=205401601
