Long-time GM wrestling coach Cook to lead new Edinboro women's program
Long-time General McLane high school wrestling coach Ryan Cook has been named the first women's wrestling head coach at Edinboro University.
'We are excited to name Coach Cook as the first head coach for Fighting Scots women's wrestling,' said Director of Athletics Dr. Katherine Robbins. 'Ryan not only brings with him twenty years of experience in building quality wrestlers and winning teams, but his passion for and commitment to the sport of wrestling is simply unparalleled. He is the perfect coach to build a new legacy for women's wrestling that adds to the pride, history and tradition of Boro Wrestling.'
Cook, a 1998 Edinboro graduate, has spent the last 21 seasons leading the Lancers on the mats just down the road.
Since Cook has led McLane wrestling, 48 District X champions, 52 state qualifiers, 12 PIAA place winners and two state finalists have competed under his guidance.
Cook has a dual meet record of 255-100, while holding the all-time General McLane records for coaching wins, win percentage, PIAA qualifiers, PIAA medalists, regional and district champions.
