Casey Cunningham Named USA Wrestling’s 2018 Freestyle Coach of the Year

While many of us are still trying to wind down from the end of the College Wrestling Folkstyle season, USA Wrestling is ready to gear up for the national and international Freestyle season.

This morning, wrestling’s national governing body announced that Penn State Assistant Coach Casey Cunningham is the recipient of its 2018 Terry McCann Award, given to its Freestyle Coach of the Year.

As USA Wrestling notes, Cunningham, through his coaching role with the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club, was a close personal coach to Penn Stater David Taylor, who won his first World Championship last year, at 86kg/189lbs.
