 Head
Coach Scott Norton - Coach Norton completed his first year as
Highline's head coach during the 2002-03season. His prior coaching
experience has included assisting at Lindbergh High School and Indiana
State University. Norton has a wealth of experience in wrestling, being
a
3-time Pac-10 Champion, and amassing a college career record of
111-28
(.799) while at the University of Oregon. During his senior year,
he
captured four titles (Southern Oregon Open, Mat Town Invitational,
Oregon Classic, Pacific-10 Championships), raising his total to 12
career titles. Norton is the second all-time on Oregon's career win
list
with 111 victories. During his senior year, Norton also established
a
new personal mark of 35 wins for a season, breaking his old record of
33. By capturing his third consecutive Pac-10 title, Scott became the
first Duck to do so since the
1981-1983 seasons. He is just one of six
people to amass 100 wins on the Oregon mat. Additionally,
Norton was a
Division 1 All-American. Needless to say, Coach Norton brings a strong
competitive edge
to Highline's program.
