Terrance Fanning joined the Saint Vincent College coaching staff in August 2024.
A native of Bruceton Mills, West Virginia, Fanning enjoyed a standout wrestling career at Division II Wheeling Jesuit University from 2015-19.
As a junior in 2018, the 285-pounder went 31-6 and wrapped up his season by winning the NCAA Division II National Championship. He would then repeat as an All-American as a senior in 2019, finishing 30-5 and placing fourth at nationals. Fanning, who also earned three top-five finishes at the Division II NCAA East Super Regionals, posted a .780 career winning percentage and remains Wheeling Jesuit's all-time career leader with 103 victories.
Prior to joining the Saint Vincent College staff, Fanning, who earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Wheeling Jesuit, coached youth wrestling in Pensacola, Florida, for five years.
He resides in Latrobe with wife, Rachel, and twin daughters Alayna and Makenzie.
"The addition of Terrance and his family to our staff is huge," said SVC head wrestling coach Dominick Nania. "His impact on our program will be felt immediately, and we cannot be more pleased to add another great role model to our Saint Vincent community. Terrance knows what it takes to become a national champion, and that is invaluable to have on our staff. Our young men will be able to learn a lot from him."
