Former Lehigh All-American Brad Dillon begins his second season as an assistant coach at his Alma Mater. Dillon, a 2004 Lehigh graduate and two-year team captain, spent the previous four seasons as an assistant under Pat Santoro at Maryland.
Working alongside Santoro for the last five years first at Maryland and last season at Lehigh, Dillon proved to be one of the most versatile coaches on staff. Dillon worked in the practice room with wrestlers from nearly every weight class, and also assisted in the recruiting efforts that helped bring in nationally-ranked recruiting classes at both schools. Last season, Dillon helped guide the Mountain Hawks to a school record 23-1 dual meet record.
Dillon amassed a record of 101-26 at Lehigh and ranks in the top ten in school history for career victories. As a senior in 2004, Dillon set a school single-season record with 24 dual meet victories, and also had a record-string of 39 straight dual meet wins from 2002-2004. Dillon captured EIWA Championships at 174 in both his junior and senior seasons, and went on to earn All-American honors in each of his final two years, placing fifth in 2003 and fourth in 2004.
Off the mat, Dillon was an NWCA Academic All-American as a senior and was an Academic All-District At-Large selection by CoSIDA. Before graduating with a degree in Biology, Dillon earned the Athletics Department’s highest honor when he was named Lehigh’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2004.
Dillon was raised in Allentown, and graduated from nearby Parkland High School. He is single and currently resides in Allentown.
