From LIU AthleticsÂ
LIU Athletics is pleased to announce the promotion of Huntington native John Arceri to head coach of its wrestling team.
“I am excited to have Coach Arceri lead our men’s wrestling program and happy for our team as we continue to see great success and community support surrounding our program,” said LIU Director of Athletics Elliott Charles.
During Arceri’s prep career at Huntington High School, he was a state champion, a two-time state finalist, and a four-time county champion. He earned the prestigious High School Freak Show National Champion title, cementing his status as one of New York’s top high school wrestlers.
Having originally joined the staff as an assistant coach in 2022, Coach Arceri has played a pivotal role in the program’s development, helping to guide three EIWA place winners and mentoring LIU’s first-ever national qualifier.
“I’m honored to take on the role of head wrestling coach at Long Island University. This program has incredible potential, and I’m excited to build on its foundation to create a culture of hard work, accountability, and success, both on and off the mat,” he said.
“As the youngest NCAA Division 1 head wrestling coach in the country, I see this as a tremendous opportunity to inspire not only my team, but also the next generation of wrestlers who dream of achieving greatness,” Coach Arceri continued. “I’m grateful for the trust the university has placed in me, and I’m committed to helping our student-athletes excel as competitors, students, and individuals. The future is bright for LIU Wrestling and I can’t wait to get started.”
Coach Arceri brings a wealth of experience to his new role, both as a coach and as a former standout wrestler. At Nassau Community College (NCC), Arceri became a national qualifier and contributed to Nassau’s victory in the 2018 Division III National Championship. He continued his wrestling career at the University at Buffalo, where he became a national qualifier once again after finishing fourth at the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championships. He was named a Scholar All-American and earned Academic All-MAC honors for his academic achievements.
