'Hardest decision I have ever made': VanGroll steps down as Parkside wrestling coach

Corey VanGroll has stepped down as the UW-Parkside head wrestling coach, Parkside Athletic Director Andrew Gavin announced Monday in a news release.

VanGroll, who earned All-American honors at Parkside and graduated from there in 2009, coached the Rangers for four seasons after taking over at his alma mater in 2017, when he replaced Gregg Lewis.

In a phone interview Tuesday morning, VanGroll said the decision came solely because of family circumstances. He and his wife had a daughter in January, and both their families live in Green Bay. VanGroll said his wife received a job opportunity in that area, so the family had to make a decision almost immediately after Parkside had two wrestlers compete in the NCAA Division II Championships earlier in March.
