A big change in the college coaching scene in the Carolinas.
Tuesday, March 22, 2016 | NEWBERRY – Newberry College wrestling head coach Jason Valek has announced he will resign with the end of the 2015-16 season.
“As the founding coach for our wrestling program, coach Valek has made a lasting impact,” said Newberry College president Dr. Maurice Scherrens. “The future success of the program will be built on the foundation he laid during his tenure at the College.” Valek has overseen the Wolves’ wrestling program since its inception in 2004 and led Newberry to eight Top 20 finishes at the NCAA Division II National Championships, including a 17th place finish in Sioux Falls, S.D., for the current season. Newberry was the NCAA Division II National Runner-Up in 2009.
