    Nickerson to coach Finger Lakes Wrestling Club

    Troy Nickerson, the 2009 NCAA 125-pound NCAA champion and only five-time New York State champion has been added to the FLWC coaching staff. Nickerson placed at the NCAA Championships each of his four seasons with the Cornell Big Red, finishing second, third, first, and fourth. As a team captain in 2010, Nickeson led the Big Red to an unprecedented second-place team finish. He battled through major shoulder injuries his final two seasons at Cornell, which have required a number of reconstructive surgeries to repair. Nickerson will be taking most of this season to recover from these injuries, but plans on returning to competition in a quest to represent the USA Wrestling team in the 2012 Olympic Games.

    As a prep wrestler, Nickerson set new standards in New York State, winning a record five state titles for nearby Chenango Forks High School. A product of Section IV wrestling, and five-time Section IV champ, Nickerson will bring not only his skills and success to the FLWC program, but also his understanding of the demands for success in the Southern Tier area.

    The mission of the FLWC is to promote all levels of wrestling within the Finger Lakes region of New York State, and Nickerson's duties with the FLWC will focus on training and coaching the FLWC college team. He will also assist in the coaching of all levels of FLWC athletes, which consists of youth, high school, college and senior level wrestlers. Nickerson will be joining an FLWC coaching staff that also includes: Clint Wattenberg, Matt Azevedo, Mitch Clark, Eric Toftegaard, Mike Rodriguez, Josh Arnone, Brian Cook, Brian Alves, Matt Bogumil and Gene Nighman.
