Wyoming Seminary is a trailblazer in the sport of girls wrestling. It also has an unrivaled track record of success at the high school and prep level.

Wyoming Seminary first offered girls wrestling in 2017, at which point Sem became the first high school girls wrestling team in the state of Pennsylvania. In the years since, Wyoming Seminary has won multiple tournaments at the national and international stages.

Sem has won three titles (2020, '23, '24) at the National Prep Wrestling Championships and has produced numerous collegiate wrestlers.

The Sem girls wrestling program offers world-class coaching, evidenced by the success our wrestlers have achieved all around the world.

We believe that academic excellence and athletic prowess go hand-in-hand and the Wyoming Seminary girls wrestling program is an example of the greatness that could be achieved in both pursuits. Balancing the demands of wrestling and college preparatory curriculum is a challenge, but we approach that challenge together. Coaches, teammates and other members of the Sem support network are committed to ensuring student-athletes have the resources and strategies needed to excel academically and athletically.

Cornell Robinson — 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.

Aside from wrestling, Coach Robinson has coached high school and college football, including Cheyney University, an NCAA Division II program.

Coach Robinson is a 2001 graduate of Evangel University (Missouri), where he earned a bachelor's degree in physical education. He helped football at Evangel, earning All-American honors in 2000. He earned a master's in education from Lindenwood University in 2007.

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.

Bret Fry — Head Coach
Originally from California, where he wrestled in high school and at Rancho Santiago College, Bret Fry joined the Wyoming Seminary girls wrestling staff in 2021 as an assistant coach.

Fry has helped the Blue Knights achieve success on the national and international stage, including in 2023 when Sem won first place at the National Prep Wrestling Championships and Tallinn Open. Five of his wrestlers following the season were finalists in summer at the USA Wrestling 16U and Junior National Championships in Fargo, North Dakota.

Fry led the Blue Knights to a team championship at the 2024 National Prep Wrestling Championships.

Will Weber is a graduate of nearby Lake-Lehman, where he was a two-time PIAA state qualifier and is a member of the school's Wrestling Hall of Fame.
