Hello
My name is Mario D. Thomas and I am the head wrestling coach at Morrisville state college. Originally from St.louis Missouri, I competed for NAIA powerhouse Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Mo. Aside from earning All-America honors three times I was part of the 2003 National Championship team. After spending a successful two year stint as the assistant wrestling coach at Gannon University in Erie,Pa. I am now proud to be the head coach of Morrisville State College. Located in the heart of central New York, Morrisville State College is located just 30 miles southeast of Syracuse. Students and faculty alike select Morrisville for the college’s academic and athletic excellence. Morrisville is in the midst of making the transition from junior college to fully accredited division three institution. This is a very exciting time to be a Mustang. We are hoping to join the Empire Conference which is home to the likes of SUNY-Oswego, Cortland, Oneonta, Brockport and Ithaca College, all of which have extremely competitive wrestling teams. In order to compete I am in search of quality student athletes who put hard work and dedication first, in an effort to become not only better wrestlers but better people. If you know of any wrestlers who you believe fit this mold please either email me or give me a call, you can also check us out on the web at
www.morrisville.edu. I look forward to hearing back from members of this wrestling community who are looking for an opportunity to compete.
Morrisville State College offers more than 75 bachelor and associate degrees and options. Considered to be one of the most technologically advanced colleges in the nation for its ThinkPad University program and wireless technology initiative, the college recently became the first in the nation to comprehensively replace landlines in residence halls with individual cellular phones. Morrisville State College was also chosen as one of the top five colleges in the nation for campus activities by Campus Activities magazine.
Good luck in your upcoming season and I wish you all the best in your search for academic and athletic opportunities.
