Carr capped off his career at Washington & Jefferson by winning the 157-pound title at the 2015 NCAA D3 championships. In addition, Carr finished his senior year with a perfect 27-0 record, his second Mideast Regional and Presidents' Athletic Conference titles… as well as earning NWCA Scholar All-American, Second Team CoSIDA Academic All-American and CoSIDA Academic All-District laurels that year. He had been an NCAA finalist as a junior.
Prior to coming to W&J in Washington, Pennsylvania, Carr spent two years at Kent State University in Ohio, going 21-10 in his redshirt freshman year at 149 pounds.
A three-time state placewinner at South Fayette High School, Carr won a PIAA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association) Class AA state title as a junior and was ranked 10th in the nation among 145-pounders by USA Wrestling. He returned to his prep alma mater last fall, serving as an assistant coach at South Fayette High School in 2015-16.
Carr joins the Lycoming coaching staff headed up by Roger Crebs and assistant Sean Reese, and replaces Eric Caschera on the staff, who resigned to pursue opportunities outside athletics.
Founded in 1812, Lycoming College is located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The private, four-year college has an enrollment of 1,400 students. All Warriors intercollegiate sports programs – including wrestling – compete in NCAA Division III.
