Manheim, Pa. - William Graham IV wasn't a household name in the wrestling community before the fall of 2004, but he quickly made an impression with the wrestling world with his $5.6 million contribution to Bucknell University that rescued a discontinued wrestling program at the Lewisburg, Pa., campus and endowed the program.     It is with that donation that Graham, along with USA Wrestling's Gary Abbott and University of Maryland Athletics Director Debbie Yow, were honored by the National Wrestling Coaches Association with the Meritorious Service Award in a presentation at the 2005 NCAA Wrestling Championships at the 75th Anniversary celebration ceremony at St. Louis' Union Station.    Abbott, the Director of Special Projects for USA Wrestling, and Yow honored for their work promoting wrestling and their push for Title IX reform.    Graham's donation will provide athletic opportunities for the new era of Bucknell wrestling as well as the construction for facilities for new women's athletics programs at the Division I school.    Graham is the chairman and CEO of The Graham Company, a Philadelphia-based insurance and brokerage company and has also supported the NWCA in its coaching education programs and its "Building Leaders for Life" leadership program.    Abbott, unlike Graham, is a well-known and world-renowned journalist. Abbott has put in countless hours working events and coordinating the media at USA Wrestling events and events around the globe.     Whether it's a Junior National tournament in Fargo, N.D., or the Olympics in Athens, Abbott has been a very humble, yet vocal advocate of Title IX reform and the promotion of women's wrestling, which made its Olympic debut at the 2004 Games. He has written countless more articles about the subjects and wrestling in general.    Yow, in her 11th year as Athletics Director, oversees the University of Maryland's 24 varsity sports and was a former women's basketball coach at Kentucky, Oral Roberts and the University of Florida from 1976-85 before taking her post in College Park, Md., in 1992.  A long-time voice for both men's and women's Olympic sports, Yow uses a common-sense and professional approach to Title IX issues and was a member of the Commission on Opportunity in Athletics in 1993 that was established to look into the varying options and practices of the 1972 gender equity act.     Yow was also the first Athletics Director in the country to make competitive cheerleading a varsity sport.     The National Wrestling Coaches Association, established in 1928, is a professional organization dedicated to serve and provide leadership for the advancement of all levels of the sport of wrestling with primary emphasis on scholastic and collegiate programs. The membership embraces all people interested in amateur wrestling.       The NWCA, through its organizational structure, promotes communication, recognizes achievement, recommends rules and regulations, sponsors events, and serves as an educational and informational source. Additionally, the NWCA strives to foster the sportsmanship and integrity that are the cornerstones of athletic competition.
