Commitment to excellence while maintaining tradition is the goal for Michigan State wrestling. Michigan State head wrestling coach Tom Minkel enters his 16th season in East Lansing following this credo as he continues to dedicate himself to producing quality student-athletes in conjunction with upholding the prestigious Spartan wrestling tradition. Minkel won his 100th career dual with a 33-7 victory over Northwestern on Jan. 24, 2003, becoming just the third coach in Spartan history to collect 100 wins.
