    “We are very excited to announce that Chase is joining the Penn Wrestling coaching staff,” said Reina. “He has achieved high levels of success in both folkstyle and freestyle wrestling, and has represented the Pennsylvania Regional Training Center proudly in both domestic and international competitions. Chase believes in the direction of our program and I have great confidence in his ability to develop our student-wrestlers at Penn.”

    Pami has trained with the Pennsylvania RTC since 2015, recently finishing third at the U.S. Open in Las Vegas to qualify for the World Team Trials where he finished fourth in the Challenge Tournament at 70kg. In January, Pami won gold at the Paris International. Pami had a tremendous 2012 cycle, wining gold at the NYAC International, finishing second at the Dave Schultz Memorial and qualifying for the Olympic Team Trials where he finished fourth. A member of the 2012 and 2013 USA World Cup teams, Pami was fourth at the 2013 World Team Trials.

    “I am honored to have this opportunity to step into a coaching role with such a tremendous collegiate wrestling program,” said Pami. “Over the past year, I have had the privilege or working with many of the Penn student-athletes as we've trained together with the Pennsylvania RTC under Roger Reina and Brandon Slay. There is a big vision happening at Penn, a dedication to our sport, and a strong desire to achieve in each member of this team. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to assist in this program in unlocking its fullest potential.”

    Before transitioning to the international scene, Pami competed collegiately at Cal Poly where he was a two-time All-American. In 2010, Pami was runner-up at NCAAs at 157 pounds for the Mustangs.

    Pami has collegiate coaching experience from a stint as volunteer assistant at the Air Force Academy during the 2015-16 season. While training at the Illinois Regional Training Center from 2013-15, Pami coached at multiple club and high school programs.

    Pami joins assistant coaches Mike McMullan and Bryan Pearsall on head coach Roger Reina's staff entering the 2017-18 season.
