"Troy has been a loyal friend and colleague for many years and his service to his alma mater has been extraordinary," Gettysburg Director of Athletics David Wright said. "For the past 16 years he has played a critical role in this department. He began his time at Gettysburg as a talented student-athlete and he leaves as a well respected professional. Troy is ready for this new challenge in his professional career, and I know he will be successful in leading Frostburg State's program."
Dell, a 1995 graduate of Gettysburg College, returned as the interim head coach of the wrestling program for the 1997-98 season. He was officially named to the post the following summer and has led the Bullets to six top-three finishes in the Centennial Conference, including second place in 1996 and 2000. In addition, he has coached seven CC champions, most recently junior Matt Shank (Reedsville, Pa./Indian Valley) and sophomore Andrew Goldstein (Easton, Pa./Easton), who won championships at 149 and 157 pounds, respectively, in 2007.
As a student at Gettysburg, Dell won 88 matches during his career, a mark that still stands fourth on the program's career list. He holds the Bullets' records for technical falls in a career and single-season and career match terminations.
