"Boomer is a highly experienced coach and a former head coach who brings a tremendous amount of knowledge and insight to the table. He has a proven ability to develop student-athletes and elevate programs. I'm truly looking forward to watching him get to work and help lead Edinboro Wrestling to new heights in the MAC and on the national stage. Boomer is an outstanding addition to our staff."

He also spent a season at Bloomsburg as a volunteer assistant in a season where the Huskies sent six wrestlers to the NCAA Championships.
 
"I want to thank Coach Hill for this opportunity," said Fechko. "I can't wait to get to campus and start working with the guys. The culture Coach Hill has developed is something I want to be part of. It's time to get to work!"
