Morgan State Head Wrestling Coach Introductory Press Conference Set For Thursday, Sept. 8

Join us Thursday, September 8th at 11 a.m. as we formally introduce Morgan State University's new head wrestling coach. The press conference will feature Morgan State President Dr. David K. Wilson, Dena Freeman-Patton, Morgan State University Director of Athletics, and MSU's new head coach Kenny Monday. 

The press conference will also be live streamed via the University's main (www.morgan.edu) and athletic websites (www.morganstatebears.com - here).
 
Monday, the first Black wrestler in history to win an Olympic gold medal, is a National Wrestling Hall of Fame inductee, three-time Olympian and former NCAA All-American standout, who brings a championship-level coaching pedigree and an expansive yet impressive resume to a Bears' wrestling program looking to restart after a 25-year hiatus. Monday comes to Morgan after serving as the director of wrestling and head wrestling coach at Spire Academy, since 2021.
 
To date, Morgan remains the only HBCU to offer NCAA Division I Varsity-level wrestling. The first full season of Morgan's new wrestling program is slated for 2023–24.
