Congratulations to Head Coach Brad Nelson who recently eclipsed the 100 win plateau with his teams title at the Jersey Shore Invitational this past weekend!

Coach Nelson now holds a 102-61 career mark with his time at the helm here in Troy, NY.

36 - National Wrestling Coaches Association Scholar All-Americans
7 - Team Top 4 Finishes at the Northeast Conference Championships
10 - National All-Americans
1 - National Champion
4 - New York State Team Titles

From Coach Nelson: "I'm very appreciate for the opportunity to help lead the hard working men and women we have here in our wrestling programs at RPI. It's been a long ride and this milestone wasn't something that was on my radar until I was made aware of it at the beginning of this season. I'd like to thank my parents, family, friends, assistant coaches and athletes' parents for all the support over the years, the NCWA for providing a thriving wrestling platform and community, RPI for supporting our programs and lastly, all my wrestlers that bought into our program, helped lay the foundation and made these years fly by! They are responsible for this milestone!"

Thank you Coach Nelson, here's to another 100!
