A small private Division I school in New York City, today we look at some of the best wrestlers in the history of Wagner.

Joe Burke

A stellar freshman season, Burke seemed destined to be the best wrestler in Seahawk history. He won the NEIWA (New England Intercollegiate Wrestling Association) & qualified for the NCAA championships. Unfortunately for Wagner and fortunately for Seton Hall, Burke decided to transfer. Competing for the Pirates, Burke went on to a very successful career that included earning All American status in his junior and senior with fourth and third place finishes respectively. He was also selected as a participant in the All Star meet.

Matt Gallagher

Without a doubt the best wrestler in Seahawk history was 1989 NEIWA champion Matt Gallagher. The highest ranked wrestler Wagner ever had, Gallagher graduated with 112 victories, including 42 as a senior.
