History

edit

Utah Valley University's wrestling team remained a member of the Western Wrestling Conference (WWC) through the 2014–15 school year. The WWC then disbanded when all of its members accepted an offer of single-sport membership in the Big 12 Conference. UVU was led by Coach Greg Williams for 18 seasons before his retirement in 2024. UVU announced the hire of New Head Coach Adam Hall, who was previously the Associate Head Coach at NC State. Hall competed for Boise State University, where he was an All-American.
