^^^According to the Millersville Athletic Site, Todd Roberts has been promoted from assistant to head wrestling coach. I wish Coach Roberts the very best! -Stove Pipe
Here is the statement that I copied 9/9/08 from the Millersville University athletic site. –
Todd Roberts, who served as an assistant at Millersville for four seasons, was promoted to head coach wrestling coach in August of 2008.
Roberts, a York, Pa. native, joined the Millersville staff in September of 2004 under Neil Barnes. As an assistant, Roberts helped the Marauders improve its status in the PSAC and in the NCAA Division I East Region.
“I look forward to continuing to help the Marauders grow into a competitive team in the PSAC,” said Roberts. “It is my goal to challenge each member of the team on and off the mats to strive for improvement. “
In 2008, under Roberts’ guidance, Jarrett Hostetter captured the NCAA Division I East Region Championship at 157 pounds, qualifying for the NCAA Championships for a third-straight year. He was also named PSAC Wrestler of the Week once and carried a 20-match winning streak into nationals. Seven wrestlers finished sixth or better at the PSAC Championships as well.
With Roberts on staff, the team has excelled off the mat as well. In 2005, Curtis Yeager and Mark Knock were both named to the NWCA Division I All-Academic Team.
Roberts took on additional coaching responsibilities during Barnes’ medical leave. He coordinated the “Shorty” Hitchcock Memorial Tournament, started a youth wrestling clinic and an annual picnic for families and alumni.
Roberts’ coaching career began while he was in college at East Stroudsburg, coaching the women’s wrestling team. He also coached at Dallastown High School and at East Stroudsburg with the men’s program.
After beginning his wrestling career at East Stroudsburg, Roberts transferred to York, where he finished his career and received his bachelor’s degree in engineering management in 1999.
