Wayne Wrestling adds Luke Baum to Coaching Staff Wayne
head coach Scott Freischlag is pleased to announce the addition of Luke
Baum to our coaching staff. Luke will replace Ted Hargarther, a long
time assistant who will assume other duties within the program. Baum
(Wayne, ‘05) enjoyed an outstanding high school career for the Eagles,
culminating in a 4th place finish at the New York state
tournament his senior year. Coach Baum concluded an excellent career at
R.I.T. by earning 2009 NCAA All-American honors, placing fifth at 141
lbs., breaking his own school record for wins in a season (38), set as a
first year standout in 2005 – 2006. He holds the R.I.T. record for
most career wins with 146, which is among the top 20 all time in NCAA
Division III history. Baum was the 2009 Empire 8 Conference champion and
Most Outstanding Wrestler, a three time NCAA tournament qualifier, and a
five time Empire 8 Athlete of the Week. In the classroom, he excelled,
earning National Wrestling Coaching Association Academic All-American
honors for three seasons while recording a 3.53 cumulative grade point
average. Luke received his bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics
and is currently pursuing teaching certification in the field of
mathematics. Coach Freischlag commented;
“While I’m excited to have Luke join our staff due to his obvious
technical knowledge and commitment to the program, I am really looking
forward to the intangibles that he brings to the mat. Luke was on what I
consider to be some of our greatest teams ever and understands the level
of commitment it takes for individuals and teams to perform at that
level. I am hopeful that he can help our wrestlers learn that there are
no shortcuts to success in this sport and that only those who are
willing to pay the price in training will achieve their goals.” |

March 29, 2010 ANNOUNCEMENT! Wayne Wrestling was well represented at the NHSCA National Wrestling Tournament last week in Virginia Beach, Virginia with Wayne Wrestler Bobby Dierna becoming Wayne’s 2010 ALL-AMERICAN in the Junior Division @ 130 lb weight class. The championship match was a close one as he wrestled Jordan Rinken of Iowa to defeat him 2-1. When you see Bobby Dierna, please congratulate him for this great accomplishment. The 2010 Wayne Wrestling Team had another GREAT 2009-2010 season as we finished in 2nd at the Class “A” Sectional Tournament and advancing 10 wrestlers to the State Qualifier Tournament at RIT on Feb 12 & 13. At the end, Wayne had 7 place finishers with 4 advancing to the State Tournament on Feb 26 & 27: Alec Dierna – 1st (Advanced to State Competition) Bobby Dierna – 1st (Advanced to State Competition) Vinny DiGravio – 1st (Advanced to State Competition) Tory Cain – 2nd (Advanced to State Competition) Nick DiGravio – 2nd Frankie Affronti – 3rd Brad Mayville – 6th Results of the NYS Wrestling Tournament in Albany NY: Alec Dierna – 1st Place 2010 NYS Champion, Section V Most Outstanding Wrestler Bobby Dierna – 4th Place Tory Cain – 6th Place Vinny DiGravio – 3rd Place What an accomplishment to have ALL 4 WRESTLERS PLACE IN THE NYS TOURNAMENT and to have the WAYNE WRESTLING TEAM PLACING 4th at the NYS Wrestling Tournament out of all the high schools that attended!!! This was a bunch of competitive kids that turned into more than just team mates – they practiced hard, fought hard, and stuck together – even when things got tough and has shown great sportsmanship throughout the season and beyond. Every wrestler should be very proud of the season they accomplished, with the tough competition and the drive to improve themselves after every win and loss. Can’t wait until next season – going to be exciting!!! A lot of great returning wrestlers and new one’s that will carry on this great tradition at Wayne! Thank you, Wayne Wrestling Booster Club |

March 9, 2010 Just want to let everyone know that Josh Patterson was the MOW in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament this past weekend. Josh has now qualified for the NCAA tournament 4 times and is a returning All-American at 174. He defeated a wrestler (16 – 6) from George Mason who had defeated him a few weeks ago; the guy made one mistake…………………he tried to rough Josh up….and it backfired! Congratulations to Josh (and his parents) and good luck at nationals! Coach |
