Colby RobinsonFor the past four years, Robinson has served as head wrestling coach at De Smet High School in St. Louis. Prior to that, Robinson was assistant coach of the men's and women's wrestling programs at Missouri Baptist. While at MBU, Robinson coached over 10 NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) All-Americans, 15 WCWA (Women's Collegiate Wrestling Association) All-Americans, a Pan-Am placer, and a WCWA National Champion. Robinson helped lead the Spartans to a 2nd place finish in the Metro Catholic Conference. What's more, Robinson recruited both men and women wrestlers from Texas, Oklahoma, California, Missouri, and Florida.
"We are pleased to announce that we have hired Colby to start our wrestling program," said OKWU Director of Athletics Mark Molder. "We feel his passion for the sport and his alignment with the mission of our university are perfect the direction we want to take our program."
"We look forward to watching Colby start the program," Molder added. "We feel he will do an amazing job in growing our athletes spiritually, insuring academic success in the classroom, and at the same time producing a product that will compete at the highest level nationally."
Located in Bartlesville about 45 miles north of Tulsa, Oklahoma Wesleyan University can trace its roots back to 1909. At its website, here's how Oklahoma Wesleyan describes itself: "As an evangelical Christian university of The Wesleyan Church, OKWU models a way of thought, a way of life, and a way of faith grounded in these four pillars (Christ. Scripture. Truth. Wisdom.). We are a place of serious study, honest questions, and critical engagement, all in the context of a liberal arts community that feels like family." The four-year school has approximately 1,300 students, with about half of them at the Bartlesville campus.
