Kerry R. McCoy (born August 2, 1974) is an American wrestler and executive director and head coach of the Lehigh Valley Wrestling Club regional training center.
McCoy was named the 2005 Friends of Long Island Wrestling Man of the Year and was inducted into the Longwood High School Hall of Fame in 1998.
In 2004, McCoy won his fifth consecutive U.S. National Freestyle Wrestling Championship, taking five straight matches and defeating 2003 NCAA champion Steve Mocco 3–0 in the final.
McCoy also helped guide Jon Trenge, who weighed 197 pounds (89 kg) to a Lehigh-record 133 victories in his career[3] and three top-three finishes at the NCAA Championships.
Gardner and Josh Zupancic earned All-America honors, the first Stanford pair to do so in the same season since 1967, while freshman Zack Giesen was named the Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year.
[3] In his inaugural season as the head coach of the Terrapins, McCoy led the team to a school-record-tying 10th place NCAA Tournament finish, earning three All-Americans with Steve Bell (133, 6th), Alex Krom (141, 5th) and Hudson Taylor (197, 3rd).
Athletes whom McCoy has subsequently coached to All-American status include three-time All American Josh Asper (165), Spencer Myers (285), University World Bronze Medalist Mike Letts (174), and NCAA runner-up Jimmy "Headlock" Sheptock (174).
During the 2014 season, McCoy had the opportunity to coach against the three-time NCAA champion, and fellow Penn State alumnus Ed Ruth in the national championship held in Oklahoma City.
