    "We are very excited to announce the hiring of Dylan Alton as our volunteer assistant coach for the 2017-18 season," said Hangey. "Dylan brings a wealth of talent, experience and success at all levels to our program. Having wrestled and earned All-America honors for Penn State University, Dylan will provide a training perspective from a perennial Top 10 program."

    Following his graduation from Penn State, Alton served for two years as Assistant Coach for the West Point Wrestling Club. He was responsible for the team's business activities such as budgeting, fundraising, and organizing travel plans. Alton was also accountable for recruiting high school talent to West Point by cold calling and regular home visits to introduce the wrestler and their family to the program. He facilitated daily team practices and conducted targeted workouts to reach and maximize full potential. Alton directed individual study sessions with wrestlers to analyze match-film and prepare plans of action for each upcoming match.
