A former Green Terror grappler and three-time Maryland State Champion, Blake makes his debut as the head man in 2007-08, after four seasons as an assistant on the staff.

During his tenure as an assistant, Blake was part of three Centennial Conference (CC) runner-up finishes and coached six national qualifiers that included three All-Americans. 

As a member of the Green Terror squad, Blake took second place in the 2003 CC Championships at 141 pounds.

Prior to his arrival on the Hill, he was a member of the Division I Appalachian State squad, where he took second place at 149 in the Southern Conference in 2001. Injuries cut short his junior and senior seasons but Blake finished his career as one of the most talented wrestlers to don a Green Terror singlet.

A three-time Maryland state champion, Blake was a Cliff Keen All-American and Dave Schultz Award Winner.

A second-generation Green Terror wrestler, his father Art '71 is a member of the Sports Hall of Fame for his successes as a three-sport athlete. Davey's brother Mikey also wrestled for McDaniel, taking the silver medal in 157 in 2004.

Steve Colasuonno, Assistant Coach 

A Long Island native, Colasuonno joins the sidelines after four seasons on the mat for the Green Terror.

A 2006 graduate, Colasuonno is working with the lightweight wrestlers, something he knows a little about himself. A two-time Centennial Conference runner-up and four-time conference placewinner at 125 and 133, he had a successful career on the mat and brings his strong work ethic back into the practice room.

Colasuonno currently serves as an Instructional Assistant at Winters Mill.

Wes Winters, Assistant Coach

Winters, a 2003 graduate of the College, joins the staff this season.

During his undergraduate tenure on the Hill, he was a member of two Centennial Conference championship squads.

Winters has spent the past four seasons coaching at Winters Mill, where he remains as a special education teacher and coaches softball.

Winters graduated from Gettysburg Area High School in 1999, where he was a four-year letterwinner and helped lead his team to a District 3 title his senior year.
