The Wrestlers in Business Network Philadelphia Chapter is excited to host Bill Zadick, USA Wrestling’s Men’s Freestyle National Head Coach, for a virtual call on March 11 at 6:30 p.m. EST. The call is for WIBN members only.

Zadick took the helm at USA Wrestling following the 2016 Olympic Games. In 2017, he led the men’s freestyle team to their first world title in 22 years, the third total in program history. Subsequently, he was named the National Olympic Coach of the Year by the United States Olympic Committee. In 2018, Zadick coached Team USA to a World Cup title, the men’s freestyle program’s first since 2003. Zadick originally joined the USA Wrestling coaching staff as the Resident Coordinator and Assistant National Freestyle Coach in January 2009 and also served as the National Freestyle Developmental Coach. Prior to his tenure at USA Wrestling, Zadick was a volunteer assistant at the University of Iowa for two seasons.

As an athlete, Zadick won a World title at 66 kg in 2006. He also finished seventh at the 2001 World Championships and was a two-time Olympic Team Trials runner-up (2000, 2008). Collegiately, he competed for the University of Iowa, where he was a two-time All-American and a 1996 NCAA champion at 142 pounds.

On the call, Zadick will answer questions regarding the upcoming Olympic Team Trials and the Tokyo Olympic Games scheduled for this summer, how the National Team has been operating during the COVID-19 pandemic and how local communities can contribute to the promotion of the sport.

Philadelphia, Pa. – The Pennsylvania Regional Training Center alongside the Wrestlers in Business Network Philadelphia chapter is excited to announce Summit 2, scheduled for February 25. 

This nationally elite card, which follows the tremendously popular January 29 Summit 1, will focus on the budding rivalry between the New Jersey RTC and the Pennsylvania RTC, specifically highlighting the U23 level along with high level Olympic Level matches and an elite “border war” featuring Pennsylvania and New Jersey middle school matchups.

While the bouts are still being finalized, fans can expect to see some of the very best age-group-level wrestlers in the nation including the PRTC’s nationally ranked Michael Colaiocco, Doug Zapf and Anthony Artalona as well as the NJRTC’s Pat Glory, Quincy Monday and Travis Stefanik.

Colaiocco was a NWCA Second-Team All-American as a freshman last season. In November, he finished runner-up at the 2020 U23 Nationals including an 8-3 semi-finals win over Iowa’s Austin DeSanto.  Colaiocco is also a 2018 Fargo Junior champion, tech falling his way through the field. Zapf was a 2020 first team All-Ivy selection, ranked nationally in every poll and for much of the season #1 in the EIWA, and an NCAA qualifier. At Summit 1, Zapf earned the U23 card’s Outstanding Wrestler honors with an impressive, 18-8, technical fall over Connor Kievman of the NYCRTC. Artalona was a 2019 EIWA champion and round-of-12 finisher at the NCAA tournament. He is a three-time Fargo Junior freestyle champion and 16U champion in both freestyle and Greco-Roman. He is also a UWW Junior Semi-Finalist and All-American in both Greco and freestyle at U23 level. Artalona competed on the Summit 1 card, dropping a close, 7-6, bout to 2020 Senior Nationals runner-up Evan Henderson.

Glory was a 2019 NCAA All-American. Last season, he garnered NWCA First-Team All-American status, sporting a perfect, 24-0, record. He placed fourth at the 2020 U23 Nationals. Monday is a two-time NCAA qualifier and two-time First-Team All-Ivy selection. Last season, he was also named a NWCA First-Team All-American. Stefanik is a two-time NCAA qualifier as well. He was a first-team All-Ivy selection in 2020 and a second-team selection in 2019.

In addition to the U23 matches, several Senior-level bouts will appear on the card. More information and matchups will be released in the coming weeks.
