    Gray to be inducted into Virginia Tech Hall of Fame

    Two-time NCAA All-American wrestler Sean Gray is among six individuals to be welcomed into the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame in September, the Blacksburg, Va. school announced this past weekend.

    Sean Gray
    Enrolling at Virginia Tech in 1997, Gray crafted a career of accomplishment on the mats for the Hokies. A four-time NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships qualifier, Gray earned back-to-back NCAA All-American honors at 141 pounds as a sophomore and junior in 2000 and 2001. In addition, the New Jersey native won the Colonial Athletic Association title at 134 pounds as a freshman, then followed up with three consecutive Eastern Wrestling League championships, earning a place in the EWL Hall of Fame in 2007. Gray completed his Virginia Tech mat career as the program's all-time leader in wins (133), winning percentage (.850), pins (45), and pins in a single season (15). Gray still ranks as the school's leader in career individual wins and pins and second in winning percentage (87.5), behind Devin Carter.

    Since graduating from Virginia Tech, Sean Gray has developed a successful collegiate coaching career, first at the now-defunct program at Boston University for seven seasons, then as an assistant coach for the past five seasons at Princeton University.

    In addition to Gray, other members of the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2015 include Roscoe Coles (football), Will Furrer (football), April Byrd Mosley (track), Bryan Randall (football), and Dr. Duane Lagan (team physician).

    The six new honorees will be inducted during a Hall of Fame dinner on the Virginia Tech campus on Friday, Sept. 11, the evening before the Hokies' home football game against Furman. The inductees will be introduced to fans at halftime of the football game.

    The Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame, which is located at the south end of the Cassell Coliseum ambulatory, was established in 1982. The Class of 2015 inductees will bring the total number enshrined to 181. Gray is the ninth individual connected to the Virginia Tech wrestling program to be welcomed into the hall, joining eight former Hokie wrestlers, and one past coach (Frank Teske).
