Chagrin Falls hires Peter Cimoroni as head wrestling coach

Peter Cimoroni is headed back to the Chagrin Valley Conference.

The former Beachwood wrestling coach was officially approved by the Chagrin Falls Board of Education on Oct. 3 to replace former Tigers coach Victor Puskas.

“When searching for a new wrestling coach, we knew we needed someone who could build a strong program and hoped to find someone who has already done it before,” said Chagrin Falls athletic director Charlie Barch. “Peter’s resume came across my desk and I was excited to meet with him. He is very well respected in the wrestling community and we know his knowledge and expertise will help grow our program.”

Cimoroni, the CEO and president of a business consulting firm and co-founder of the Wrestlers in Business Network, wrestled collegiately at the University of Dayton and earned his Master’s Degree at John Carroll University.

He spent many years rebuilding the Beachwood City Schools’ wrestling program with significant results.

Cimoroni hopes to realize similar success at Chagrin Falls.

“Our goal is to create an atmosphere through a philosophy of the constant strive for excellence, not only on the mat and in the classroom, but also in the community at large,” he said. “Our mission is to build a lasting family community that routinely attracts and graduates excellent student-athletes with a deep commitment to the community to give back and pay it forward. I am excited to be involved with such an incredible school system and vibrant city as a whole.”

The 2018-2019 wrestling season officially begins with the first day of practice on Nov. 9.
