Head coach Zeke Jones announces the hiring of Maddie Schossow as the team's Director of Operations while recent graduate Matt Kraus will stay with the team and serve as an undergraduate assistant coach.
"Being a part of Sun Devil Athletics is such an honor and I am excited for the many opportunities that will come my way," said Schossow.
Schossow is a native of Altoona, Iowa where she worked for the University of Iowa wrestling team during her entire undergraduate career as a team manager. While with the Hawkeyes, Schossow traveled with the team, helped coordinate nutrition and travel, worked summer wrestling camps and collected and processed all video.
She also worked for the Hawkeye Wrestling Club coordinating fundraising events and donor relations.
Attending Iowa from 2012-15, Schossow graduated in three years with a Bachelor's in Communication Studies and a minor in Human Relations.
Schossow's exposure to wrestling dates back to junior high, working with her junior high and high school wrestling teams while a student at Pleasant Hill, Iowa's Southeast Polk HS.
Kraus competed for the Sun Devils from 2012-16, earning 80+ career victories and competing at NCAA Championships as a senior. Starting as a true freshman, Kraus recorded a major decision at Pac-12 championships as a sophomore and took second at Pac-12 championships as a junior.
Kraus adds "It feels good to be able to give back and help a team and university that have done so much to help me succeed."
The team's 2016-17 schedule is set to be released soon.
