Eric Reed is in his first year as head wrestling coach this winter after serving as assistant coach during the 2007-2008 season.

Reed, who most recently was the head coach at Central from 2004 to the summer of 2007, also skippered the Wabash (Ind.) program from 2002 to 2004, guiding one All-American and as well as helping the squad finish second at the Midwest Regional Tournament in 2004, the highest team finish in 18 years. He has also been an assistant coach at both the high school and college levels.

A 1994 graduate of Wisconsin-La Crosse with a degree in biology, Reed extended his education to a graduate program, also at UW-La Crosse, earning his master's in science and sport science-pedagogy in 2000.

While at UW-La Crosse, Reed also succeeded on the mat, garnering All-American honors twice. He has also organized and instructed various camps through the Midwest and has competed for the Hawkeye Wrestling Club as well.

Reed has extensive teaching experience over the past several years and will be asked to continue those responsibilities as well as work some security detail at the University.
