OWENSBORO, Ky. -- As announced on Friday morning, Kentucky Wesleyan head wrestling coach Brandon Crawford has resigned from his position.

"I want to thank Mark Shook and Ken Badylak for allowing me the opportunity to fulfill a lifetime dream," Crawford said. "I have put everything into this program over the last three years. I sincerely wish the best for the team and [the program's] future."

Crawford took the reigns of the program in September of 2022 as the third coach in program history, overseeing three full seasons at the helm.

A national search for the next leader of the Kentucky Wesleyan wrestling program will begin immediately.
