He replaces Kyle Cerminara, who left earlier this summer to join the staff at Pennsylvania.
A former standout for the Fighting Scots, Fendone served as a volunteer assistant with the Fighting Scots a year ago. Flynn is pleased to have Fendone as a full-time member of his staff. “I think Joe will do an outstanding job,” related Flynn. “He knows what our program is all about and he relates very well with our team.”

Fendone ended the year ranked 12th by InterMat and 14th by Amateur Wrestling News. He finished second at the EWL Championships to qualify for Nationals, and then went 3-2 in St. Louis.

He placed third at both the EWL Tournament and PSAC Championships.
Fendone fell one win shy of earning All-American honors in his first season as a heavyweight as a sophomore. He capped a 28-12 season with a great run at Nationals, losing to national runnerup Aaron Anspach of Penn State, 11-1, in the quarterfinals, before coming back with a pair of wins in the wrestlebacks. He decisioned Kyle Massey of Wisconsin, 10-7, then picked up his biggest win as a heavyweight with a 4-3 decision over Iowa’s Matt Fields, who was seeded seventh. With All-American status on the line, suffered his fourth loss to Bloomsburg’s Mike Spaid, but extended the ninth seed to sudden victory before losing 6-4.
He was a wildcard selection to Nationals in 2006-07 after finishing fourth at the EWL Tournament. He finished second at the PSAC Championships, falling to Spaid in the finals.
Fendone began his career at 197 lbs. He enjoyed a cinderella season, taking over as the starter at 197 lbs. in mid-January, then proceeding to dominate the competition, running off 13 straight wins at one point to climb into the national rankings. He ended the year with a 29-9 ledger and ranked second on the team with 11 falls, tied for the 17th-most in school history. In his first trip to Nationals he went 1-2. He placed second at the EWL Tournament and picked up the title at PSAC Championships. He was named to Amateur Wrestling News’ 2006 All-Rookie Team, on the fourth team.
Fendone was a highly-touted recruit who was only the second wrestler ever to win three New England Tournament titles and a three-time Massachusetts state champion. He captured three Massachusetts state championships at 215 lbs. at Central Catholic High School in massachusetts, and set the school record with a 176-6 career record and had 120 falls, also a school record.
He was twice named the Boston Globe Wrestler of the Year and was a four-time All-State and Boston Herald All-State team selection . He posted the first undefeated record in school history as a senior (36-0).

Posted on | August 19, 2010 | No Comments
Matt Hill
Title: Assistant Coach
Now in his second stint at Kent State, Matt Hill returned to the wrestling staff in the summer of 2010 as a full-time assistant coach. A three-time NCAA qualifier at Edinboro, Hill served as a graduate assistant at KSU from 2007-09.
“Matt takes the approach that it’s all about hard work,” Head Wrestling Coach Jim Andrassy said. “His philosophy is to get guys to work harder than ever before to improve. We had a lot of good candidates for this position and it was a very tough decision. But ultimately we felt that Matt gives our athletes the best chance to improve on what we’ve been doing.”
Hill has remained involved in wrestling over the past year working with Seneca Valley High School and the Freedom Wrestling Youth Club.
During Hill’s two seasons as a graduate assistant, the Golden Flashes produced 11 national qualifiers, went 29-8 in dual meets and captured a 2009 MAC regular season title.
While at Edinboro, Hill compiled 105 career victories, going 32-7 as a senior. That year, he went 17-1 in dual meets and won the 157-pound championship at the Michigan State Open. Edinboro earned top 10 finishes at the NCAA Championships in both his junior and senior seasons.
Hill is married to the former Stephanie Novak.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — Former Hawkeye NCAA champion and All-American Mark Reiland has been named Junior Person of the Year by USA Wrestling, the national governing body for amateur wrestling in the United States.

Reiland is respected for his hard work and dedication to wrestling in his state, and his willingness to do whatever he can to provide quality opportunities to young people within the sport.
“This biggest thing is that we do this for the kids. It is rewarding for that purpose. You don’t get into this for awards or to be recognized by your peers. It is the athletes who are driving me to do more for the sport,” said Reiland.
