(Photo/Tony Rotundo, WrestlersAreWarriors.com)"I want to thank Ken for his efforts to lay a foundation for Queens wrestling," Swarthout commented. "Ken is internationally recognized in amateur wrestling and his enthusiasm for collegiate wrestling will pay dividends at Queens for years to come. We wish him well as he pursues a different coaching opportunity."
Chertow was hired in the spring of 2017 to start up the men's wrestling program at Queens. His expertise in the sport as an Olympian and nationally recognized trainer were assets as the Royals navigated the new sport addition. Chertow was successful in bringing in 25 student-athletes to get the program off the ground and running in its first year competing as a club sport.
During his time at Queens, the program added a new state of the art wrestling room constructed in the Levine Center. The Royals also landed a conference affiliation for their first year of NCAA competition next season as the South Atlantic Conference and Conference Carolinas announced that they will join to sponsor joint championships. They will compete for a co-branded 'South Atlantic Conference Carolinas' Championship.
