COACHING STAFF
Jim Beichner
Head Coach
7th Season (67-39-2)
Clarion - 1987
Jim Beichner is completing his seventh season at the helm of the University
at Buffalo wrestling program and continues to build the program to a position of
national recognition.
Under Beichner's direction, the
Bulls’ wrestling program has undergone
a complete turnaround both on and off
the mat. In the seven seasons with
Beichner as head coach, Buffalo has
posted a 67-39-2 dual meet record.
Beichner has guided the Bulls to doubledigit win seasons in four of the seven
years he has been at UB. Buffalo sent
four wrestlers to the NCAA Championships in 2001, and is sending freshman
sensation Kyle Cerminara to the NCAAs
this season. That snaps a span of four
straight seasons in which UB had qualified at least three wrestlers for the
NCAAs.
In Beichner’s seven seasons at UB,
he has guided Bulls’ wrestlers to the
NCAA Championships on 17 occasions.
Beichner arrived at UB for the 19951996 season, and guided the Bulls to immediate success. UB posted a 10-4 dual
meet record after going winless the previous season. The Bulls captured third
place in the East Coast Wrestling Association Tournament and sent two wrestlers to the NCAA Championships where
they each posted wins, the first-ever tournament wins for UB since its return to
Division I. Additionally, coach Beichner was recognized for his efforts, receiving the New York State Division I and
ECWA Coach-of-the-Year awards, in addition to Amateur Wrestling News Rookie
Coach-of-the-Year honors.
In his second season, Beichner
guided the team to a 12-2-2 record, the
most wins in over a decade for the program. Again the Bulls finished third at
the ECWA Tournament. Jason Wartinger
2
qualified for the NCAA Championships
for the third time in his career. In addition, the Bulls finished in the top five in
all five tournaments they participated in
under Beichner’s leadership.
During his third season, three was
the key number for Beichner’s Bulls. For
the third straight season, UB finished in
third place at the ECWA Tournament. In
addition, the Bulls made another step towards national prominence by sending
three qualifiers to the NCAA National
Championships, the third consecutive
year Beichner had guided wrestlers to the
NCAA Tournament.
In addition to the team’s success, Beichner helped the UB program and the
Western New York area by bringing the
National Wrestling Coaches Association
All-Star Classic to UB’s Alumni Arena.
This national tournament showcases
some of the top wrestlers in the country
at each weight class going against each
other as a preview of possible National
Championship matchups. All told, there
were six National Champions and 19 AllAmericans from that season who competed at UB’s Alumni Arena.
In 1998-1999, Beichner continued
the program’s upward climb as the Bulls
entered the Mid-American Conference,
a conference that had two teams finish in
the top 10 at the NCAA Championships
the previous year. UB finished third in
the regular season and fourth at the MAC
Championships. Additionally, the Bulls
had three qualifiers for the NCAA Championships for the second straight season.
During the 1999-2000 season, Buffalo finished with an 11-5 dual meet
record. Within the MAC, the Bulls
posted a 2-3 mark, leaving them in fourth
place. UB also placed fourth at the MAC
Championships. Once again, three of
Buffalo’s wrestlers qualified for the
NCAA Championships.
In his first seven years, Beichner has
made a tremendous impact at the University at Buffalo. He has taken the program from a team with a combined six
wins in the four years prior to his arrival
to 67 wins in his first seven seasons.
UB head coach Jim Beichner completes the 2001-2002 season with .630 winning percentage.

COACHING STAFF
Those 67 wins make Beichner the secondwinningest coach in UB history. He has
brought some of the best that collegiate
wrestling has to offer to the Western New
York area and continues to build the program into a team that is making trips to
the NCAA Championships on a regular basis.
Prior to his appointment at UB, Beichner served seven years as an assistant
coach at the University of Pittsburgh under head coach Rande Stottlemeyer. At
Pittsburgh, Beichner was heavily involved
in the day-to-day operations of the program, budgeting, and other administrative
duties in addition to his coaching and recruiting responsibilities.
"I was fortunate that Rande gave me
the freedom to do what was necessary to
get the job done," Beichner commented.
"He never put restrictions on my methods, but instead made everything accessible to me at all times."
During his seven-year tenure as an
assistant, the Panthers were ranked in the
National Top 25 six times, reaching as
high as 13 th in 1988. During Beichner's
last season as an assistant in 1994-1995,
Pittsburgh was invited to the National Duals Tournament for the first time in school
history. En route to their eighth-place finish, the Panthers defeated traditional wrestling powers Oregon State and Arizona
State, as well as intrastate rival Penn State
for the first time in 19 years.
Beichner's coaching career began at
Clarion University following an outstanding collegiate wrestling career for the
Golden Eagles. During his four years,
Beichner was twice an NCAA Division I
All-American at 190 pounds, recorded
125 career victories (tied for third all-time
in Clarion history), was twice selected to
wrestle in the prestigious East-West AllStar Classic and posted a rare three undefeated dual meet seasons. In addition to
captaining Clarion to only its third undefeated dual meet season in over 38 years
of competition, Beichner is 11 th in career
dual meet wins with 49 and posted the
third-best single season record in school
history at 40-4 during the 1984-1985 season. In May of 2000, Beichner was inducted into the Clarion Sports Hall of Fame.
It was while coaching at Clarion following his wrestling career that Beichner
learned the inner workings of a collegiate

wrestling program from one of the
winningest coaches in history, Bob Bubb.
Currently the Executive Director of the
National Wrestling Coaches Association,
Bubb had a profound influence on Beichner and his coaching style.
"Coach Bubb was a very regimented
coach who ran a strict program," Beichner says. "However, he was more than
just a wrestling coach in that he was always there if you were having problems
or needed any kind of help. If I can do
anything here at UB, I'd like to emulate
the way he ran his program and be as successful as he's been."
Beichner began his association with
wrestling at Cassadaga Valley High
School, located 80 miles southwest of
Buffalo. Wrestling under head coach Cliff
Blum, Beichner was a three-time New
York State High School Tournament
placewinner and an inductee into the
Cassadaga Hall of Fame in 1982.
"I consider coach Blum to be one of
the best coaches I've ever worked with.
The majority of my wrestling technique
and all the things I've accomplished come
as a result of his wrestling program."
While Beichner is only completing his
seventh season as coach of the Bulls, he
has already taken substantial steps towards
his goal of building them into a competitive national Top 25 wrestling program.
Beichner and his wife Diane have
three children - Jake (9), Sam (8), and
Grace (2).

COACHING STAFF
Sean Gibbs
Tom Tomeo
Assistant Coach
7th Season
Pittsburgh - 1993
Assistant Coach
2nd Season
Clarion - 1998
Sean Gibbs is completing his seventh season as an assistant
coach and coordinator of recruiting for the Bulls. An integral
part of UB's success the last several years, Gibbs is largely
responsible for the recruiting efforts for the program.
Before joining the Bulls at the beginning of the 1995-1996
season, Gibbs wrestled four years at the University of Pittsburgh
where current UB head coach Jim Beichner was an assistant.
Although this is his first collegiate coaching position, Gibbs
has previous coaching experience as an assistant at Lake High
School in Ohio. During Gibbs' tenure, Lake captured third place
in the State Dual Championship and had four individual
placewinners.
Over the past summer, Gibbs served as the head coach of
the National Wrestling Coaches Association’s All-American
Tour which took a group of 16 wrestlers overseas to wrestle in
Bulgaria and Paris.
Gibbs brings a wealth of wrestling knowledge to UB's
program, much of which he developed during his four-year
career at Pittsburgh. The two-time NCAA Division I National
qualifier at 167 pounds earned a pair of top three finishes in the
1992 and 1993 Eastern Wrestling League Tournaments. Gibbs
also posted the second-best record in Pittsburgh history as a
senior with a 40-10 record and his 24-9 record as a junior is
fifth-best all-time. The Panthers' 1993 Most Valuable Wrestler,
Gibbs is currently fourth on the school's all-time wins list with
90, and helped the Panthers to a National Top 25 ranking all
four years of his career.
Gibbs and his wife Cynthia have two children - Caitlyn (3)
and Graham (2).
Jerry Seawood
Volunteer Assistant Coach
1st Season
Syracuse - 1998
Seawood is finishing his first season as a member of the
Buffalo coaching staff following his wrestling career at
Syracuse, in which he lettered for three seasons.
The four-time Greco-Roman All-American received his
degree in general management and retail management.

Tom Tomeo is completing his second year as an assistant
coach for the Bulls. Tomeo is primarily responsible for
helping instruct the younger wrestlers on proper techniques
and what it takes to compete and win at the Division I level.
A graduate of Clarion University, Tomeo was a two-time
team captain, a two-time Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Champion and a Division I All-American in 1998,
finishing eighth in the 142-pound weight class at the NCAA
Tournament. Tomeo comes to Buffalo from Cumberland
College where he was an assistant coach two years ago,
helping the Indians produce six All-Americans - including
the NAIA National Heavyweight Champion - and helping
lead them to a sixth-place team finish at the National Tournament.
A native of Grove City, PA, Tomeo also served as an
assistant coach at Slippery Rock University after earning his
bachelor's degree in biology from Clarion in 1998.
Tomeo’s hobbies include hunting, fishing, sports and a
number of other outdoor recreational activities. He is also a
relative of the late North Carolina State basketball coach Jim
Valvano.
Josh States
Student Assistant Coach
1st Season
Buffalo
States is finishing his first season as an assistant coach
for the Bulls. He is not a stranger to the UB wrestling
program however, having completed a prestigious four year
career at Buffalo.
During his senior season, the two-time NCAA qualifier
enjoyed unparalleled success at UB. He completed the year
with an undefeated 5-0 mark in MAC matches, and took first
place at the Bloomsburg Invitational and New York State
Collegiate Championships. He also broke the school record
for career overall victories with 102.
A graduate of nearby Lockport High School, States set
school records under coach Pat Seidel for career wins with
171, and falls with 101.

Q & A WITH KYLE
TEN QUESTIONS WITH KYLE CERMINARA
As featured on UB’s official athletics website, www.buffalobulls.com
To say your last two years have been successful would be an
understatement. In your senior year in high school you went
42-0, now as a freshman at UB you’ve qualified for the NCAA
Championships. Has the success just carried over?
High school wrestling is very different from wrestling at the
college level. In high school, you can get by with just being a
better athlete than everyone else. At college, everyone is a great
athlete and you need to be more in tune with the technical aspect of the sport. I worked real hard on using better technique
and improving my athleticism just so that I could compete. The
transition has been tough.
Will your experience from the High School Nationals last year
– where you placed fifth – help you at all in preparation for
the NCAA Championships in Albany?
It may help in the sense that it was a real big tournament with a
lot of competitors. You have to be prepared to wrestle a lot of
matches in one day. But I think what’s helped even more is what
has gone on this season. Being in a Division I wrestling room
everyday, and working with Coach (Jim) Beichner and Coach
(Sean) Gibbs has helped even more than anything else.
During the season, you have been most successful in tournament competition. Do you prefer that format as opposed to
wrestling in a dual meet?
If you notice, my first match at most tournaments is often my
worst one, as far as the results go. That’s almost like a warm-up
match in a sense. I do feel like I get better as the day goes along.
That may be why I’ve had more success in tournaments than in
dual meets – I get better as I wrestle more matches.
Going back to the start of the season, chart your progress as
a wrestler.
I think I’ve changed a lot. My conditioning is so much farther
along than it was at the beginning of the season. Most importantly though, I am mentally tougher. I know every match is
going to be a battle, and it takes mental toughness to be able to
compete at this level.
You posted a perfect 5-0 Mid-American Conference regular
season record and then went on to win the postseason tournament. What enabled you to do this?
We started in Northern Illinois where I won my first two MAC
matches in a dual meet with the host Huskies and Eastern Michigan. At that point, I realized that there were only three more
MAC matches on the season, so I kept the ball rolling. At the
MAC Championships, I knew I was expected to win, having
come in undefeated and as the top seed. I didn’t want to let
anyone down, it was my tournament to lose and I wasn’t going
to do that.
6
What are your emotions heading into the NCAAs?
I’m real excited. It’s an honor just to compete with so many
great athletes and to get the opportunity to become a National
Champion. This is what wrestling is all about, and going to the
NCAA Championships and shooting to become an All-American or to win a National Championship is every collegiate
wrestler’s goal.
There’s a chance you could face a guy like Cael Sanderson –
who is a three-time NCAA Champion who has never lost a
collegiate match – at some point in this tournament. What
would that be like for you?
I’d love to take on a guy like Cael Sanderson. Only 32 other
people in the country have a shot at doing that right now, and
I’m one of them. To have the opportunity to beat the best college wrestler would be a great honor.
What have the seniors on your team had to offer to you? Have
guys like Dave Guarino – who went to the NCAAs in 2001 –
helped you out with anything in particular?
Yeah, they’ve all offered some advice. They tell me that even
though I’m a freshman, I’m good enough to compete with anyone. They all have faith in me and continue to tell me to believe in myself and to be confident. They’ve been real supportive, as they have been all season long.
You say that your greatest athletic influences are your father,
along with former coach Eric Gross. Can you expand on that
a little more?
Ever since I can remember, my dad has always been there. He
bought weights for our basement and he showed me how to
lift. That got me ahead of the curve, and when I became a freshman in high school I already had a couple years of lifting weights
behind me.
When I started high school, I really wanted to dedicate myself
to becoming a great wrestler. Eric Gross came to coach at
Lewiston-Porter after graduating from UB, and he was the best
wrestling coach for me. We’d do morning workouts together, or
whatever I wanted to do. Last year, when he was the head coach
at Medina High School, he still helped me train everyday for
the High School Nationals. Both of those guys helped me to
become the wrestler I am today.
Who’s headed to Albany to watch you in the NCAA Championships? What does it mean for the tournament to be held so
close to home?
Both of my parents are coming. I’m happy that it’s so close,
because they can just drive down to Albany and enjoy every
minute of it. Eric Gross and his wife are also going. Again, it
was my parents along with Eric who have helped me grow as a
wrestler, so it’s great they will all be there.
