Top Active Division I Coaches in Dual Meet Wins

TDR Editor’s Notes ; This is the first of a series of lists of college coaches by the number of dual meet victories in which they led their teams. This year two Big 10 coaches, Ryan & Manning joined the 300 win club which grew to six in Division I coaches. Sanderson of Penn State jumped up three rungs on the list past the top North Carolina Coach, Pat Popolizio at North Carolina State, into 12th place. Bentley of Appalachian State joined the top 25 part of the list. We have just the top 30 coaches listed but do keep track of all. We welcome input, information and reactions to us at martinkfleming@gmail.com
