Charles McGreer

Assistant MS Coach

Coach Charles McGreer is a 1998 graduate of Chadron State College, where he double majored in Business Administration and History.  There wasn’t a school wrestling program when he was growing up so he gravitated to the sports that were available, eventually pole vaulting for CSC for 3 years.
