CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY – Head coach Lee Miracle announced the hiring of his new assistant coach in Lady Tiger Wrestling alumni Kasey Kruczek.
 
Kruczek was part of the first ever women's wrestling team that was started when Coach Miracle began the program in the 2013-14 school year. In only the second year of the program, the team already eclipsed a runner-up finish at the WCWA National Championships in 2014-15. Kasey was also part of the 2016-17 team that placed third at the Championships. 
 
She set the bar high on and off the mat. At Campbellsville she was able to accumulate all-academic honors in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 school year. 
 
Kruczek has seen success throughout the course of her athletic career. When she was in high school she was the first female to earn a varsity letter on the boys wrestling team. She was the Pennsylvania Folkstyle Champion in 2012 as well as a four-time Pennsylvania Freestyle state champion.
 
Kasey was a three-time Body Bar All-American, three-time Folkstyle All-American, and a three-time Asics Vaughn Junior All-American.
 
In 2018, Kruczek coached at Philipsburg High School where she coached the state champion as well as coaching the most outstanding wrestler of the tournament. 
 
Before returning to her alma-mater, Kasey was the assistant coach at Parkland High School in Pennsylvania from 2018-2021. 
 
"Coach Kruczek is a wonderful addition to the coaching staff," said Miracle. "She wrestled for me during the first years of the program and was an excellent student/athlete for Campbellsville University. She is the definition of "OG". She was an integral part of building this program from the beginning.  She knows how high my expectations are. She will be a tremendous asset to the young women on the team as a mentor. It is awesome to see her come back here and give back to the program."
