OT: UConn Sports Community Loses a Member

[ColchVEGAS]

It brings me much sadness to write this, the UConn sports community lost a member this week. 2006 UConn alum, former UConn wrestling head coach, Ted's regular and my dear friend Chris Warran passed away. He was a UConn basketball fan, but his passion was wrestling. While coaching UConn's wrestling team he also volunteered his time to youth wrestling programs in Windham and across the state. He was Connecticut's assistant coach of the year at H.H. Ellis Tech and college club coach of the year when at UConn, leading them to high finishes in DII national tournaments and one of his wrestlers reaching All-American accolades.

RIP Herm. You will be greatly missed.

I'm very sorry to hear it. He seemed like a good guy.

I'm pretty sure there was a wrestling team my freshman year at UConn (1968-69). Not sure what happened after that. Could have been a Title 9 casualty like Men's Lacrosse, I suppose.
