Navy’s Cary Kolat coached Nathan Kraisser to be an All-America wrestler. Now, bragging rights are on the line.

Cary Kolat, in his first year as Navy wrestling coach, doesn’t have as much time these days to catch up with old friends.

He guessed he speaks with someone from the Kraisser family about once a month now that the season is underway, but otherwise it’s closer to once a week. But his wife Erin?

“Probably once a day,” Kolat said with a laugh. “It just depends … We’re all a little busy but we don’t miss a beat when we see each other or talk to each other.”

The coach had been in Nathan Kraisser’s corner since he first started Team Kolat out of a gym in Timonium in 2005.
