Anne Arundel wrestling coaches honor Peery

The Anne Arundel County Wrestling Coaches recently named former Navy wrestling coach Ed Peery as the 2009 recipient of the Allan Segree Service to Wrestling Award.

Peery has stayed active in wrestling after his retirement as a professor, coach, and administrator from Navy, serving as a volunteer coach at Annapolis and Annapolis Area Christian School.

Peery coached 27 seasons at Navy, producing a 311-90-14 record and 48 EIWA champions. He coached 16 all americans, one national champion, and one Olympic medalist (Wilde Lake assistant coach Lloyd Keaser).

The coach is a member of the Pennsylvania and National Wrestling Halls of Fame, was a Pennsylvania State Champ, a three-time NCAA Champion and was also an alternate on the 1956 US Olympic Team.
