Tim Fader has been named head wrestling coach at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.      "Tim's a proven leader in building a Division III wrestling program that has strong academic and athletic accomplishments," UW-W director of athletics Dr. Paul Plinske said.  "His wealth of conference and national success will inspire a program rich in tradition.  UW-Whitewater athletics is excited to have Fader follow in the footsteps of hall of famer Dr. Willie Myers."    Fader has been the head wrestling coach at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse for the past six seasons.  He directed the Eagles to top twenty finishes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III championship every season.  UW-L tied for fourteenth in 1999, Fader's first season; moved up to sixth in 2000 and second in the 2001 tournament.   Since then UW-L added a fourth place in 2002, eighth in 2003, and seventh in 2004 in the NCAA III championship.    The NCAA Wrestling Coaches Association named Fader Division III Rookie Coach of the Year in 1999 and NCAA III Coach of the Year for the 2000-2001 season.      Athletes have earned All-American honors seventeen times in Fader's six years at UW-L.  Four Eagle grapplers earned the distinction at the 2004 NCAA III championship, including heavyweight champion Ryan Allen.  Allen, Jason Ott (hwt, 2002) and Jeremy Miller (184 lbs, 2000) all earned national titles under Fader's tutelage.      Fader's UW-L squads also ruled the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, winning six consecutive league titles (adding one the year before when Fader was an assistant to make the current UW-L streak seven straight).  Fader was named WIAC Wrestling Coach of the Year in 1999, 2001, and 2002.      That run of WIAC success includes two wrestlers named Peterson Outstanding Wrestler of the WIAC Tournament (Rob Anderson in 1999, Jason Ott in 2000), and three Max Sparger Scholar Athletes for Wrestling (Andrew Melton in 2000 shared with Whitewater's Phill Klamm, Josh Habeck in 2002, Troy Fabry in 2004).    The La Crosse wrestling program went 18-5 overall in dual meets (with two of those losses coming to Big Ten schools and three to top ten finishers in the NCAA III championship) during the 2003-2004 season, including a 5-1 mark against WIAC competition.    Prior to assuming the head job at La Crosse, Fader served as a UW-L assistant for three seasons (1995-98), was an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota-Morris (1994-95), assistant coach at Oregon (IL) High School (1993-94), and assistant coach at his alma mater, Augustana College (IL) after graduating in 1991.  While a collegian Fader was a two-time NCAA Division III All-American and was twice named Academic All-American by the College Sports Information Directors of America.    Fader earned his undergraduate degree in finance, and earned a master's degree in sports administration from UW-La Crosse in 1997.  In addition to his coaching duties at UW-L, Fader also directed the Eagle wrestling camps, was a part-time instructor in the exercise and sport science department, and coordinated the adventure program used by the university and the La Crosse community.    In addition to his wrestling responsibilities at UW-W Fader will also teach in the health, physical education, recreation and coaching department.    Fader will assume the position which opened with the retirement of Dr. Willie Myers, a coach, administrator and teacher at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater since 1968.  Myers, head coach of the UW-Whitewater wrestling team for thirty-six years, directed UW-Whitewater teams to more conference championships than any coach, of any sport, male or female, in school history.  The Warhawks won twelve Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles under Myers, including seven in a row (1974-80).  He also directed UW-W to seventeen top twenty finishes in national championships.
