Jamestown (CSi ) The University of Jamestown is pleased to announce that it has named Jeremy Hernandez as the new Men’s Wrestling Coach following the recent resignation of CJ Campbell.
Out of the highly qualified candidate pool was selected Jeremy Hernandez, a coach from Pueblo CO. Hernandez has over 22 years experience coaching female and male athletes in all age ranges. Hernandez was the assistant men’s wrestling coach for New Mexico Highlands University, volunteered for the past two years on the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center Women’s Wrestling staff, and served as a behavior advocate at Pueblo City Schools. Hernandez also served as a case and office manager for a foster care program, and created and supervised a transition program.
Athletic Director Lawrie Paulson is excited to have Hernandez join the UJ community as evidenced by his statement, “I feel fortunate that we found a coach of Jeremy’s caliber this late in the summer. I think we had multiple good candidates and feel that Jeremy will be a great fit for the University.”
Hernandez does bring significant qualifications to the position. Hernandez has been involved in many community projects centered around athletics and youth. In Pueblo Hernandez was owner and director of J-WAY which was a business offering personal training and coaching for all ages and Hernandez will prove to be an asset to the community as well as the University.
Hernandez says about his new position, “Although young, we will grow up fast so we are competing on the highest level now rather than in the future. My education and wrestling expectations are extremely high and we will work very diligently until those expectations are met. Then we will raise our expectations even higher. I believe hard work leads to accomplishment and we will work as hard as possible to be the best we possibly can.”
