The Wyoming Seminary boys wrestling program is among the nation's top high school or prep programs of any sport, often producing state and national champions and NCAA Division I student-athletes.

The Blue Knights have won eight national championships, dating as far back as 1937, '47, '48 and '52. More recently, Sem earned the title in 2014, '20, '22 and '24 at the National Prep Wrestling Championships. Sem also won an incredible 15 consecutive state championships from 2007 to 2022 at the Pennsylvania Independent Schools Wrestling Tournament (PAISWT).

Sem produced four individual national champions — each of whom was an underclassman (Davis Motyka, Luke Lilledahl, Joe Sealey, Jude Correa) — in the 2022-23 season. The Blue Knights then had an even more dominant showing in 2023-24, winning 10 individual national titles. Motyka, Lilledahl, Sealey and Correa repeated as champions while being joined atop the podium by Shamus Regan, Nate Desmond, Jake Dailey, Anthony Evanitsky, Matthew Botello and Vince Bouzakis.

In addition to their success at the local, state and national levels, many Wyoming Seminary wrestlers have competed on the international stage and emerged as top contenders and champions in countries across the world.

What sets Wyoming Seminary wrestling apart is not just its success on the mat, but the hard work that goes into creating those victories. From intense conditioning drills to technical workshops, every aspect of training is geared toward honing a wrestler's abilities and sharpening their edge in the competitive arena.

Beyond the competition, Wyoming Seminary wrestling is a family. The friendships forged and victories celebrated while at Sem last a lifetime.

Cornell Robinson — Head Coach, Director of Wrestling Programs

Cornell Robinson was named Wyoming Seminary's Head Boys Wrestling Coach in August 2021.

In his first season at Sem, Coach Robinson helped the Blue Knights win team state and national titles at the Pennsylvania Independent School Wrestling Tournament and the National Prep Wrestling Championships. In his second season, he led the Blue Knights to a fourth-place finish at nationals with four Sem wrestlers winning individual national titles. Coach Robinson's third season was a record-breaking campaign with 11 finalists and 10 champions at the National Prep Wrestling Championships, where Sem won its second title in three years.

Coach Robinson was previously Head Coach at Christian Brothers College High School, a preparatory school in St. Louis, Missouri, from 2014-21. He also held head coaching duties at Timberland High School (2008-14) and Parkway North High School (2004-05), in addition to coaching internationally.

Coach Robinson's coaching philosophy involves developing wrestlers to reach their full potential — as both students and athletes — with a responsibility to develop them into upstanding citizens committed to excellence. He helps wrestlers bring a positive attitude and work ethic to the classroom and wrestling mat with a focus on goal-setting.
