On3 Wrestling: Cary Kolat previews upcoming season for Navy
Navy head coach Cary Kolat joined On3 Wrestling to preview the upcoming season for the Midshipmen following a breakthrough campaign.
After 184 pounder David Key earned All-American status in 2024, Navy returns a solid lineup looking for me. Team captain Josh Koderhandt (141) highlights the lineup where Navy looks to put multiple wrestlers on the podium at the 2025 NCAA Wrestling Championships.
Check out coach Kolat’s appearance on the program below!
