The Campbell Fighting Camels wrestling team represents Campbell University of Buies Creek, North Carolina. The squad is coached by Scotti Sentes. Since the Coastal Athletic Association does not sponsor wrestling, Campbell wrestling is an associate member of the Southern Conference.
History
Wrestling was founded at Campbell in 1968 under the guidance of Gerald Brown. There have been nine different coaches that directed the Camels over the past 40 years. Coach Jerry Hartman (1981–1988) led the Camels to an 80–39 record during his tenure as head coach. Former U.S. Olympian Dave Auble served as head coach of the wrestling team from 1999–2004.
During former U.S. Olympian and World team member Cary Kolat's six years as head coach (2014–2020), Campbell wrestling reached new heights. In 2017, Campbell won its first Southern Conference title in team history, sending five to the NCAA tournament. Nathan Kraisser also became the school's first All-American wrestler in 2017. The team would win a total of five Southern Conference championships during Kolat's tenure, winning two conference regular season titles and three conference tournament titles.
The current head coach is two-time NCAA All-American Scotti Sentes (2020–present). Sentes formerly served as the associate head coach and assistant wrestling coach at Campbell, being in Buies Creek since the 2016–17 season. [2]
