2 Iowa State Wrestling : 33, 65, 69, 70, 72, 73, 77, 87 KEVIN DRESSER Head Coach 1st Season Hometown: Humboldt, Iowa College: Iowa, 86 Wife: Penny Children: Emma, Anna and Jack Kevin Dresser, the 2016 National Wrestling Coaches Association Coach of the Year, enters his first season as the Iowa State head wrestling coach. WRESTLING STAFF The 54-year-old Humboldt, Iowa native, built a national power at Virginia Tech. Inheriting a team that won one dual in the year prior to his arrival, Dresser has led VT to Top 10 finishes at the NCAA Championship the last four years including an all-time best fourth in 2016 and it is currently ranked fifth. Dresser s Hokie teams captured five ACC Wrestling Championships (two tournament and three dual titles) in the last five years. His teams also won 91% of their duals (48-5) the last three years. Iowa State Athletics Director Jamie Pollard aimed high during the search with the goal of returning the Cyclone wrestling program to national prominence. Pollard believes Dresser s championship pedigree as an athlete and coach will be a natural draw to recruits as well as an inspiration to the wrestlers on the current roster. Dresser compiled a dual record at Tech and won ACC dual meet titles in and league tournament championships in 2013 and 2014 (this year s ACC tournament is March 4). He has coached 65 NCAA Championship qualifiers, 20 All-Americans and five ACC Most Outstanding Wrestlers. Dresser was named ACC Coach of the Year the last four years in a row and the state of Virginia s coach of the year five times. Much of the Hokies success can be traced to Dresser and his staff s recruiting acumen. Six of his classes have ranked among the Top 11 nationally, including the 2013 group that was No. 2 according to InterMat. Dresser was named Virginia Tech s coach in after a legendary high school coaching career in Virginia. He led Christiansburg High School ( ) to five state championships and three runner-up finishes in 10 seasons. Before that, he took Grundy High School ( ) to eight state titles in as many years. Dresser coached 69 state champions and four of his teams ranked in the Top 10 nationally. As a competitor, he won two state titles and compiled a record at Humboldt (Iowa) High School before a distinguished collegiate career at Iowa. The two-time All-American and twotime Big Ten champion won the 1986 NCAA Championship (when he won the Mike Howard Award as Iowa s MVW) and placed fourth at the national meet in The Hawkeyes won national titles in each of his five seasons on the roster. Dresser has been inducted into the Iowa School Athletic Association Wrestling Hall of Fame (2009), the Iowa Wrestling Hall of Fame (2014) and the Roanoke Valley Wrestling Hall of Fame (2015). He was also presented a Lifetime Service Award by the Virginia chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Dresser earned a B.S. degree in general studies from Iowa in He and his wife, Penny, have three children: Emma, Anna and Jack.
