Sunday Chat with former NCAA champion, Olympic team wrestler Greg Wojciechowski
Without dispute, former wrestling great Greg “Wojo” Wojciechowski is one of the best handful of athletes ever produced by the University of Toledo, or by the city itself. Born to parents Richard and Elaine Wojciechowski in 1951, Greg was a protege of local wrestling icons Dick Torio, Joe Scalzo, and UT coach Dick Wilson while working out as a youth at Torio’s health club. He won back-to-back heavyweight state wrestling championships with unbeaten seasons for Whitmer High School in 1967 and ’68. Because of his three trusted mentors, Wojciechowski chose to wrestle at UT when he could have gone to any program in the country. He posted a 55-2 career record in three seasons for Wilson’s Rockets, reaching the NCAA heavyweight finals each year, winning the national championship as a junior in 1971, and ending as runner-up in 1970 and 1972. Between 1969 and 1979 he also won eight freestyle national AAU championships and five Greco-Roman titles.
