    Ex-Wisconsin wrestler Schroeder to coach at Madison West

    Greg Schroeder proves you can go home again, as the former University of Wisconsin wrestler and state champ at Madison West High School will be returning to his prep alma mater as a wrestling coach, the Wisconsin State Journal reported Friday.

    Greg Schroeder
    Schroeder has deep roots in wrestling in Wisconsin's capital city. He wrestled at Madison West in the early 1980s, where he was a three-time letterwinner. A two-time state qualifier, Schroeder won the 105-pound title at the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association state championships in 1986, capping off a perfect 32-0 record as a senior. Schroeder then stayed in town to continue his education at Wisconsin, where he was a member of the Badger wrestling team from 1986-1989. After graduating from UW, Schroeder became head wrestling coach at Madison West, serving until 1994.

    In addition, Schroeder has served on the board of directors for the Badger Wrestling Club since 2010, and Beat the Streets -- Madison, which develops youth wrestling programs in the community to attract at-risk youth in on-going, structured programs since 2013.

    "We are thrilled to have Greg Schroeder back at Madison West leading our wrestling program," said the school's athletic director, Sandy Botham. "Greg brings a wealth of experience, a passion for wrestling and a plan to help our student-athletes reach their full potential in the classroom and on the athletic mats."

    When Schroeder coached previously at West, he led the Regents to a Big Eight Conference dual-meet championship in 1993, according to Botham.

    "As Madison West's last state champion in wrestling, I am confident Greg will mentor and help our student-athletes aspire to reach similar heights," Botham said.
