"Bringing Kenny on is huge for our development as a program," UNC head wrestling coach Coleman Scott told InterMat. "We want to win national, world, and Olympic titles in Chapel Hill and he will be a huge part of that."
The 54-year-old Monday has coached at all levels of wrestling, and has worked as the wrestling coach with the Blackzilians, a mixed martial arts camp. He is a two-time Olympic medalist, winning gold in 1988 and silver in 1992. Monday was also an NCAA champion and three-time NCAA All-American at Oklahoma State. He helped guide Scott to an Olympic bronze medal in 2012.
His son Kennedy Monday, a two-time state champion, is an incoming freshman at UNC.
The Tar Heel Wrestling Club currently has three full-time senior level athletes training: Tony Ramos, Josh Kindig and Braden Atwood.
"We are looking to build on them and add a few more in the next year or so," Scott said.
