"We thank Steve for five years of service to Colorado School of Mines," CSM Director of Athletics Tom Spicer said. "We are proud of his accomplishments and wish him the best of luck in his new career opportunity."
During his tenure at CSM (2002-07), Kimpel led six grapplers to All-American honors. Seven other wrestlers earned All-RMAC honors as a total of 13 student-athletes qualified for the NCAA Division II National Championships under Kimpel's guidance.
In addition, 11 wrestlers earned Division II All-Academic honors and Kimpel's teams were in the top five of the All-Academic Team Championship standings in each of his five years at CSM. His 2005-06 squad was crowned the Division II All-Academic Team Champions after maintaining the highest cumulative grade point average in the country.
In 2006-07, Kimpel guided CSM to a 6-9 dual meet record, including a fourth place showing at the CSM/ Jack Hancock Dual Invitational in November. The six dual meet wins were the most by a CSM wrestling team since the 1978-79 squad won six.
