Coach: Duane Bastress, Asst. Coach York College of PA, Clinician Gang Green WC

Coach Bastress is a 2006 graduate of York and the program's most successful wrestler ever. He is a 2x NCAA Champion, the 2006 NCAA Most Outstanding Wrestler. His combination of strength, speed, power, and technical know how led to him being ranked #3 among all wrestlers in all divisions as he began his senior year. Wrestlers that train under Coach Bastress are sure to learn that mental toughness is just as large of a part of wrestling as physical toughness. Traveling to Bulgaria in the summer between his junior and senior seasons Duane was able to train in the international style and he concurs that Freestyle and Greco-Roman Wrestling helped make him a better folkstyle wrestler.






Coach Cory King, Asst. Coach York College of PA, Clinician Gang Green WC

A Mercyhurst College graduate, Cory brings plenty of experience to the Spartan staff. He posted a 30-17 career record at the Division II institution, missing several seasons due to redshirting and injury. King registered a banner season in 2003-2004 as he was named Mercyhurst's first Scholar All-American, finished fifth at Eastern Regionals, and was an alternate for the NCAA tournament that season. King will provide first-class instruction for the Spartans, drawing on his quality experience at the collegiate level.  Cory has a top notch leg and cradle series that has led to success for college wrestlers, so there is no reason it cannot work for you.
