MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia will not renew the contract of wrestling coach Sammie Henson, athletics director Shane Lyons announced Wednesday.
In his four seasons, Henson’s teams compiled a 27-39 record and a 5-14 mark in the Big 12. This year’s squad finished 6-7, ninth at the Big 12 tournament and 3oth at the NCAA Championships with one All-American.
“I want to thank Coach Henson for his time here leading our wrestling program,” Lyons said. “We will immediately begin a national search to identify our next wrestling coach. I firmly believe WVU can excel in wrestling, and I look forward to our future success.
