At the same event last season, 15 Camels placed in the top six of their respective divisions. “We are going to figure out really quick where we measure up against the best in the country,” said Sentes, “and that data is going to help us know where we need to improve as the season progresses.”

Jake Patacsil joins Campbell staff as assistant coach

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell wrestling Head Coach Scotti Sentes has announced the hiring of Jake Patacsil as an assistant coach. “The Patacsil name is huge in the state of Florida and his family, including his dad and brother, has done a lot of good for wrestling in Florida,” Sentes said. “Despite not meeting Jake until after he applied, I have known about him and followed his successful wrestling and coaching career for a very long time.”
Sentes continued, “When Jake applied for the position, I was excited at first because I know he is one of the best top wrestlers of all time, but as I have gotten to know Jake better, I am more excited about the passion that he brings into the wrestling room and the mindset that I anticipate he will instill in the athletes.”
Patacsil spent last season volunteering at Manchester University and St. Thomas Aquinas. Previously, he was at St. Thomas University, an NAIA program in Florida. Patacsil was the first head wrestling coach in school history, as the Bobcats began the program in 2020. “The Campbell wrestling program, with its tradition of success in the Southern Conference and at the national tournament, is a team I greatly admired,” said Patacsil. “When Coach Sentes and I discussed the opportunity for me to contribute to the program, I was filled with excitement. I am committed to doing my part to ensure the team’s continued success, as I believe this is a special team I can contribute to and be a part of.” … more at … https://gocamels.com/news/2024/9/16/wrestling-jake-patacsil-joins-campbell-staff-as-assistant-coach.aspx
