Nick Lattanze
Returned to College Hill in September 2024 to help build Brown University’s women’s wrestling program, leading the Bears through the program’s first competitive season and establishing Brown as one of the nation’s fastest-rising collegiate club programs.
Under Lattanze’s leadership, Brown made an immediate national impact. In the program’s first year of competition, the Bears produced two Club Nationals All-Americans, Annie Ye and Calli Gilchrist. Gilchrist went on to capture third place at the United States U20 World Team Trials and earn a place on the U.S. National Team. Entering the 2026–27 season, Brown is the only collegiate club wrestling program in the country with a U.S. National Team member on its roster.
As a competitor, Lattanze was a member of the Canadian National Team and represented Canada at the World Championships.
