DURHAM, N.C. — Recently Duke wrestling head coach Glen Lanham was presented with the Lifetime Service to Wrestling Award from the Downstate New York Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. The ceremony took place April 26 at the Melville Marriott in Melville, N.Y.Â
Â
Lanham received the award along with Dave Warren and Leo Palacio. High school wrestling coaches Joe Condon, Kevin Brodsky and Rob Shaver were also recognized for reaching the 300-win milestone. The Lifetime Service award is presented to coaches, officials and contributors who have devoted a minimum of 20 years of dedication and service to the sport of wrestling.
Â
In his 13th season as the head coach at Duke, Lanham has led 15 wrestlers to the NCAA Championship, while helping lead a pair of squads to two top 25 team finishes, the best in program history. This past year, he guided Connor Barket to his first appearance in the NCAA Championship in the heavyweight division.Â
Â
Lanham was a New York freestyle and Greco Roman Champion while wrestling for Lindenhurst High School in New York. In college, he was a two-time Outstanding Midwest Regional wrestler and a Division I All-American at both the University of Tennessee as well as Oklahoma State University.
Â
Lanham began his coaching career at Oklahoma State, where the team won two National Championships and three Big Eight team titles. He moved on to coach at Midwest City H.S., where he coached 14 individual State Champions. At the University of North Carolina, Lanham coached four ACC Individual Champions and two ACC team championships.
