WINFIELD, Kan. - Southwestern College's women's wrestling head coach, Sarah Bollinger, will resign..

Bollinger came to Southwestern after a three-year stint as Assistant Wrestling Coach at Missouri Baptist University in St. Louis, Mo., where she helped produce six All-Americans and a national champion. She also coached an NAIA Champions of Character award winner, and saw 13 of her student-athletes graduate last season.

She also has six years of coaching experience USA Wrestling High School National Team, where she has produced 62 All-Americans, and a pair of national champions. In 2016, Bollinger coached Team Missouri in its first two years of existence, and led the squad to a 10th place finish in its first season of existence.

Bollinger, a graduate from Missouri Baptist in 2016 with a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and Physical Education, will be leaving Southwestern to look at other opportunites closer to where she calls home. She will finish out the rest of the year and will assist in other athletic administrative duties until her departure.

"I have decided to pursue other opportunities closer to home in Saint Louis," Bollinger said. "I will be fulfilling my contract and continue to coach for the rest of the Spring semester. Southwestern has been a great experience. I appreciate all the support I've had while being here."

"We appreciate everything Sarah has done for us here at Southwestern," Southwestern College athletic director Mike McCoy praised. "I know I speak for a lot of people here when I say that we all wish her the best in her future endeavors."

The head coaching position is now open for application. The job description can be found HERE.
