JIM HEFFERNAN HEAD COACH 9TH SEASON (23RD OVERALL) Jim Heffernan begins his eighth season as head coach after serving as the top assistant under Mark Johnson for 19 years - 17 at Illinois and two at Oregon State. During Heffernan s time in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois has finished in the top-10 at the NCAA championships on 13 occasions, and in the top-15 in 17 of the last 19 seasons. Heffernan has been a major factor in the renaissance of the Illinois wrestling program, helping lead the team to its greatest prosperity since the post- World War II era, including a Big Ten title in 2005 and four Midlands team crowns. Heffernan has also mentored nine individual national champions in the last 18 seasons. In 2015, 157-pounder Isaiah Martinez (157) joined Jesse Delgado (125), Matt Lackey(165), Adam Tirapelle (149, 2001), John Lockhart (heavyweight, 2001), Carl Perry (141, 2000), Eric Siebert (150, 1998), Ernest Benion, Jr. (158, 1995) and Steve Marianetti (150, 1995) in earning NCAA titles since 1995. Heffernan has also guided the Illini to record-setting performances. In 2015, Heffernan guided Isaiah Martinez to the first undefeated season (35-0) by a freshman since Cael Sanderson did so in 1999 at Iowa State. In 2014, Tony Dallago became the Illinois alltime leader in career pins (40), while Alex Tirapelle set the school record for career wins (128). As a team, the Illini set the school record for dual victories in a season (16) in 2011. In 2005, Heffernan assisted Illinois in bringing home its first Big Ten Conference tournament championship in 53 years, as Alex Tirapelle (157) and Friedl (174) took home individual league crowns out of five total finalists for the Illini. For the second season in a row, the Illini won the Big Ten regular-season dual meet title with a near-perfect 7-0-1 record. The team finished sixth at the national tournament after qualifying nine wrestlers, while 125-pounder Ott made a repeat appearance in the finals. The team matched 2004 s achievement of five All-Americans in Ott (2nd, 125), Mark Jayne (7th, 133), Cassio Pero (7th, 141), Friedl (4th, 174) and Brian Glynn (3rd, 184).

Heffernan captained the Hawkeyes as a senior and grabbed Iowa s Male Athlete of the Year honor in 1987. Heffernan began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at the University of Iowa before becoming an assistant coach at Lehigh University in 1988. He remained at Lehigh until moving to Oregon State in 1990. He joined Johnson in Champaign in 1992. Before taking over as head coach in 2009, Heffernan earned national coach of the year honors three times (1995, 2001, 2003). He also coached the Cadet Wrestling Team at the world championships in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1992, and the USA World Espoir Team in 1989. 2017-18 University of Illinois Wrestling Notes // 10
