Bonomo Picked EWL Coach of the Year

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Lock Haven University head wrestling coach Rocky Bonomo was chosen Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) Coach of the Year, the league office announced today (March 25). The EWL coaches vote on this honor.

In his third year as head coach of the Bald Eagles, Bonomo led LHU to a 6-8 overall dual mark with a 3-3 conference record. Bonomo also earned the highest-ever EWL finish of his tenure, taking runner-up honors while placing all 10 wrestlers, sending six to the national championships and bringing home two individual EWL titles.

The young squad (without a senior in the starting lineup) showed signs of improvement as the year went on, taking two of their last three dual meets, including an exciting 21-19 finish over then-No. 22 West Virginia University.
