After two seasons of growing pains, Flynn optimistic for future of WVU wrestling

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Tim Flynn’s credentials in every aspect of collegiate wrestling are impeccable. That is why he was hired in April of 2017 to lead the Mountaineer wrestling program.

As a collegiate wrestler at Penn State, Flynn posted a record of 105-32-2. In 21 seasons as Edinboro’s head coach, Flynn compiled a dual meet record of 223-95-5.

In two seasons as West Virginia’s head coach, the Mountaineers are 8-26 with consecutive four-win seasons.

“I probably underestimated how hard it would be to get a winning culture in place,” Flynn said.
