Hall of Fame
Wrestling at weights of 150 to 167, Mitchell Koss compiled outstanding records four years in a row from 1978-79 through the 1981 season.
He racked up win-loss marks of 11-3, 15-5, 18-5 and a brilliant 23-4 in his final year. That gave him a career summary of 67 wins, 17 losses and four ties and his rightful place in history.
Koss naturally gained some distinct honors along the way. He was a three time Metropolitan winner, three-time NCAA regional qualifier and an NCAA Division III All-America selection. He received the Cataldo Memorial award and the Scholar Athlete award, given to those who excel in the classroom, covering all sports participants.
Koss attained the unique distinction of being named to the Dean’s list in all eight semesters of his college and wrestling career.
He resides in Robbinsville, NJ with his wife, Kathleen, son and twin daughters, and is employed as a plant controller for United States Gypsum.
Active in community, charity and church efforts, Koss still keeps very close to athletics, coaching youngsters in baseball, basketball and soccer.
