Braden Atwood enters his first season with the Army West Point wrestling program as a volunteer assistant for the 2017-18 campaign.
Atwood spent the last two seasons as a volunteer assistant at the University of North Carolina where he assisted with on-campus recruiting, coaching practices and running summer wrestling camps. While at Chapel Hill, Atwood worked with four NCAA qualifiers. Alex Utley (184 lbs.) and Chip Ness (197 lbs.) qualified in 2016, while Daniel Chaid (197 lbs.) and Corey Gilliand-Daniel (Hwt.) earned bids to the national tournament in 2017.
A highly-decorated wrestler in his time at Purdue, Atwood placed at the Big Ten Championships and qualified for the NCAA Championships all four years. A native of Delphi, Ind., he ranks tied for 19th in program history with 91 wins, as well as tied for fourth in career pins with 31. Atwood wrestled at 184 as a redshirt-freshman in the 2011-12 season before bulking up to 197 for his final three years. The three-time team captain posted his best season in 2013-14 with an overall record of 27-12 and an 11-3 mark in duals.
During his time in West Lafayette, Ind., Atwood worked at the summer wrestling camps every year and was a camp counselor three times. He was also nominated to be on the Boiler Athletic Council for three years, as well as earning a nomination into the Emerging Leaders program for student-athlete two years in a row from 2010-12.
A native of Delphi, Ind., Atwood currently resides in Highland Falls, N.Y.
