Adam Richards has been elevated to interim head coach for the men’s and women’s wrestling teams at Illinois Wesleyan after spending last season as an assistant coach with both programs. He steps in for Brett Robbins who resigned in July. Richards had previously spent 24 seasons at the high school level before joining the Titans for their first season since 1983.
“We are thrilled to have Adam step up and fill our men’s and women’s wrestling program in this interim role. Even though this is currently an interim role, I know that he will attack this position with great enthusiasm and energy to continue the growth of the program that he helped reinstitute. Not only does he have local ties in the Bloomington-Normal community but also has great connections across the state and country to add quality student-athletes in terms of their academic profile, athletic prowess, and strong core values.”
— Mike Wagner, Athletic Director
