LaHaye Adds Brower and Hall to Coaching Staff

Brower was First Lander National Champion in 2022, Hall was National Finalist in 2023
GREENWOOD – Coming off their second straight runner-up performance at the NCAA Division II Wrestling Championship, head wrestling coach R.C. LaHaye has added two alumni as assistant coaches for the upcoming season. Logan Hall was promoted to a full-time role after serving as the team’s graduate assistant last season and Zeth Brower joins the staff after finishing his wrestling career in the spring.

“I cannot express how excited I am to add Zeth and Logan to our coaching staff here at Lander,” said LaHaye. “Not only are they accomplished student-athletes, but they came through the Lander Wrestling program and understand the expectations and the standards of our program. I know they will have a huge impact on the next generation of Lander wrestlers.”

Logan Hall transferred to Lander after a successful career at Notre Dame College in Ohio where he was a two-time Mountain East Conference Champion and qualified for the NCAA Division II National Championship in 2022. After arriving in Greenwood, Hall set the program record for wins in a season with 34, a record he still holds, won the Super Region II Title at 184-lbs, was named the Super Region II Wrestler of the Year and was a finalist for the NWCA Wrestler of the Year, and made a run to the national championship match at the National Tournament. After graduating, he joined the staff as a graduate assistant last year and helped coach the Bearcats to their third straight conference title and second consecutive Super Region title.

“I’m looking forward to giving back to the program that gave me so much,” said Hall. “Lander has everything to create champions and I’m honored to get to be an asset in making future ones. I’m excited to help the wrestlers on and off the mat and get Lander their first NCAA team championship.”

Zeth Brower kick started Lander’s rise to national prominence by winning the national title at 141-lbs in St. Louis at the 2022 NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships. The 2022 SACC and Super Region II Wrestler of the Year was a three-time Super Region II Champion and a three-time All-American in his time at Lander.
