Located a half hour west of Long Island, SUNY-Farmingdale won the NJCAA team title in 1972. Of that handful of names I came across fro Rams wrestling, one was Charles "Bull" Godwin but I was unable to find any details of his wrestling career.
Fred Snyder |
Snyder wrestled for SUNY-Farmingdale before transferring to WPI where he won a NEIWA (New England Intercollegiate Wrestling Association) title.
Charlie Gadson |
Gadson won a state title for Huntington High school in 1973 before coming to SUNY-Farmingdale. He later transferred to Iowa State where he took third at the 1978 NCAA Division I championships. His brother Ken, was also a standout at SUNY-Farmingdale. Both Ken & Charlie are the brothers of the late Willie Gadson & the uncle of Kyven Gadson.
Noel Loban |
A native of the United Kingdom, Loban won a NJCAA title for the Rams in 1977. He then transferred to Clemson (another program we've lost) where he won back to back ACC titles in 1979 & 1980, winning an NCAA title in 1980.
He then had an outstanding international career competing for the United Kingdom. He won a bronze medal at the 1984 Olympic Games, winning Gold at the 1986 Common Wealth Games & Silver at the 1994 Common Wealth Games.
