On Episode 262 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we talk with
the new head wrestling coach at Newberry College, Cy
Wainwright.
As a stroke of pure luck, this episode releases on Cy's birthday.
We don't talk about his birthday, but we talk about his beginnings
in the sport, how he was initially cut from the wrestling team in
middle school, made his way back to the sport in high school then
opted to play college football after graduation. What wasn't truly
luck, Wainwright got talked into heading to Division II to wrestle
for the relatively new program at Newberry. A few years later,
Wainwright is a national champion.
Wainwright quickly jumped into coaching, joining Steve Costanzo's
staff at St. Cloud State before taking his first head coaching job
at NAIA Benedictine in Kansas. Shortly after launching that
program, the Southeast came calling as he got the opportunity to
launch another brand-new program, this time at Coker in South
Carolina. After becoming the ECAC Division II Wrestling Conference
Coach of the Year, Wainwright returned to his alma mater to become
the program's second-ever wrestling coach.
