Sean Gray Position: Assistant Coach Experience: 4th season Alma Mater: Virginia Tech '03

Sean Gray, a two-time All-America wrestler at Virginia Tech, enters his fourth season as an assistant on Carl Adams' staff. Gray came to BU after a successful one-year stint as the head wrestling coach at The Apprentice School in Newport News, Va.

Gray guided Apprentice to a fourth-place finish nationally in the National Collegiate Wrestling Association Tournament. Five of his wrestlers eared All-America accolades and two of them were national finalists. For his efforts, he was voted the Mid-Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year and finished third in the national coaches' voting.

Gray graduated from Virginia Tech in 2003 as one of the most decorated wrestlers in Hokies' history. He finished his collegiate career as the school's all-time leader in wins (133-19), winning percentage (.850), pins (45), and pins in a single season (15).

A stellar freshman season in 1997-98 saw Gray post a 32-8 record, win the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) title at 134 pounds, and garner CAA Rookie of the Year honors. After redshirting the 1998-99 season, Gray returned to go 40-3 as a sophomore in 1999-2000, placing seventh at the NCAA Championship and earning his first of two All-American honors. A year later, Gray went 30-3 and wrestled to a sixth-place finish at the NCAAs, earning All-American recognition for the second consecutive season. It marked the first time in Virginia Tech history that a wrestler earned All-America status twice.

Gray was also a three-time Eastern Wrestling League champion, and finished his collegiate career undefeated in conference dual-meet competition. Last spring, Gray was inducted into the EWL Hall of Fame.

In 1999, Gray won the FILA Junior National Freestyle Championship and wrestled to a sixth-place finish at 138 pounds at the Junior World Championship in Sydney, Australia.

Gray was also recognized for his work in the classroom, as he earned the Virginia Tech Wrestling Academic Achievement Award after posting a 4.0 grade point average as a senior. The Blacksburg (Va.) Sports Club named Gray the Outstanding Male Athlete at Virginia Tech for 2001.

Gray's wrestling accolades started in high school, where he was a three-time Prep National Champion for Blair Academy of New Jersey.
