Nicole Tyson is the first full-time assistant women's wrestling coach after being hired in the summer of 2017.
She has made a name for herself ever since being the first female to place as a state finalist in Maryland High School history. The accolades definitely do not stop there and they have continued even after her lustrous career at Oklahoma City University.
Tyson has made coaching stops at Missouri Baptist as a graduate assistant and King University as a full-time assistant. Most recently, she has managed and coached Results U Gym in Maryland since Sept. 2016.
Tyson is no stranger to national championships as a former grappler at Oklahoma City University from 2009-2011, graduate assistant at Missouri Baptist from Dec. 2012 – June 2013, and assistant at King University from June 2013 – Dec. 2015.
She helped lead the Stars to three consecutive national championships from 2009-2011, while the Tornados won their first title in 2013 and a NWCA National Duals championship in 2014.
During her time at Missouri Baptist, she coached six All-Americans while the Spartans placed as high as seventh at the WCWA championship. At King University, she coached four individual WCWA national champions, two runner's-up and 14 All-Americans.
Tyson was a standout wrestler at Oklahoma City University where she was a four-time All-American. She was also a three-time WCWA national finalist while winning a WCWA championship in 2011. In 2011, Tyson was a member of the Senior Pan Am Team, and a Senior National finalist while qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Trials. In her career at Oklahoma City, Woody compiled an overall record of 70-16.
Tyson was a Jim Wade Scholar-Athlete, Dean's List recipient and earned the Outstanding Senior Art Award in Photography for the Stars upon graduation. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Petree College of Arts and Science at Oklahoma City in 2011.
After her college days were over, Tyson has continued competing on the national and international stage, placing fourth at the 2015 Senior National Championships and fourth at the 2016 Olympic Trials.
