by Haddonfield Wrestling posted 11/05/2011 On November 5th Haddonfield's all-time winningest coach, Chuck Klaus , is inducted into the South Jersey Wrestling Hall of Fame. Congratulations Chuck! Well deserved.
Here is the induction bio:
A 1982 graduate of Haddon Township High School, Chuck was a two-time District 28 champion and team captain his senior year. Following graduation Klaus moved on to Boston College where he was a team captain his senior year. Klaus finished third in the New England Championships in 1985. Chuck was an assistant coach at Maple Shade High School for eight years before becoming head coach at Haddonfield, a position he held from 1993 through 2008. His team grew from seven wrestlers his first year to become a perennial Top 20 team in South Jersey. His teams earned seven consecutive group playoff berths. He was selected District 28 Coach of the Year twice and Region 7 Coach of the Year once. When he retired as head coach Klaus had compiled a 168-141-1 record, the most wins by a coach in the school's wrestling history. He was a Region 7 Ranking Chairman and served as Region 7 President. He worked the state groups and individual state championships and was a wrestling camp counselor, administrator and assistant camp director for over 25 years. Klaus never concerned himself with personal records but did care deeply about the development of wrestlers in his charge. His wrestlers were always an inspiration to him with their belief in him as a coach.
