Colorado Northwestern Community College has announced the relaunch of their men’s wrestling program and they are bringing in a Rangely native to head the program as Head Coach.

A CNCC press release shares that new head coach Tytus Coombs brings a unique blend of personal experience, academic accolades, and coaching expertise. “I am honored and excited to lead the relaunch of CNCC’s wrestling program,” said Coach Coombs. “As a Rangely native, it’s a privilege to bring this sport back to life at my hometown college. I know what it takes to succeed at a high level in wrestling, and I’m committed to helping our student-athletes reach their goals both on and off the mat. CNCC wrestling has a rich history, and I’m ready to help write the next chapter.” CNCC’s reintroduction of men’s wrestling is part of an ongoing effort to give students opportunities for growth, including through athletic offerings. Athletic Director Zach Stevenson expressed his enthusiasm for the hire, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Tytus Coombs back to Rangely as the leader of our men’s wrestling program.
