    Schieding takes over Plymouth State wrestling program

    PLYMOUTH, N.H. -- Plymouth State University has introduced a new head wrestling coach for the 2013-14 season.

    Ryan Schieding has been named the new head wrestling coach at Plymouth State. Schieding is a former standout wrestler at PSU who previously served one season as an assistant coach for the Panthers. He has been the head wrestling coach at Memorial High School in Manchester, N.H., since 2009.

    "I am very excited about being selected for the coaching position at Plymouth State," said Schieding. "I'd like to thank my two college coaches, Jason Holder and especially Tommy Prairie for helping me get here. I'm excited for the season and the challenge of taking over a new team, as well as bringing Plymouth wrestling back to being a conference contending team. Being a former Plymouth State wrestler myself it’s a great feeling to come back to my former school and be in the position that I am. We have a young team with a lot of promise and should make for a fun season."

    A native of Manchester, N.H./Memorial H.S., Schieding was a four-year wrestler and two-year co-captain for the Panthers from 2004-08, posting a 62-47 overall record. He was 17-13 in the 157-pound weight class as a junior, and went 23-10 at 174 pounds as a senior, earning All-New England honors with a fifth-place performance at the New England Championships. Schieding was also an assistant coach for the Panthers under Tommy Prairie in 2008-09.

    "We are excited to name Ryan Schieding as our new wrestling coach," said PSU Director of Athletics John P. Clark. "We know Ryan takes great pride in returning to his alma mater, and we look forward to watching him and working with him to build our wrestling program. He has great knowledge of the sport and a lot of positive energy and enthusiasm, and we know our student-athletes are now in good hands."
