Jim Connaghan
Head Men's & Women's Wrestling Coach
In late May of 2023, Montreat Athletics promoted former wrestling athlete Jim Connaghan to the position of Associate Head Men's Wrestling Coach. He enters his first season at the helm of the men's wrestling program in 2023-24.
During the 2022-23 school year, Connaghan assisted with the wrestling programs at Montreat. While obtaining his degree in exercise science from the college, the Englewood, Fla. native held a student assistant position with men's wrestling and acted as a strength and conditioning coach for both wrestling programs.
Connaghan wrestled for the Cavaliers for two seasons following time spent at Graceland University and Iowa Lakes Community College. He amassed several honors over his career, including placing at the 2018 Armed Forces Wrestling Tournament, qualifying for NJCAA nationals in 2014 and placing at the Florida high school state tournament in 2013.
Connaghan, who graduated from Montreat cum laude in 2023, lives in Old Fort, N.C. with his wife, Sam.
