22-Time SoCon Champions

 2007-08 Chattanooga Wrestling
Chris Bono made an immediate im-
pact on the Chattanooga wrestling pro-
gram in his first year as the Mocs’ head
coach in 2006-07.
Bono was named head coach on
July 29, 2006. He wasted little time, di-
recting the Mocs to their 22nd Southern
Conference championship and coaching
nine NCAA Qualifiers.
Bono took nine wrestlers to the
2007 NCAA Championships, a feat only
matched by national-power Minnesota.
Matt Keller earned All-America status,
and the squad secured a 20th
place finish, the program’s
highest finish since 1983.
The first-year head coach
took the Mocs on a magical
ride during the regular season.
He guided the team to a 16-
1 dual-match record includ-
ing an 11-match win streak to start the
season and a victory at No. 14 Ohio
State. He received high consideration
for National Coach of the Year honors
from RevWrestling.com.
Bono is a former NCAA Wrestling
Champion who was on the Mocs’ staff in
2005-06 as an assistant coach.
“This position means the world to
me,” Bono said. “It has been a goal of
mine to become a head coach since I
got into the coaching profession. I plan
on leading the team and representing
UTC with integrity. We will work hard
and work toward a national champion-
ship.”
A member of the 2005-06 staff,
Bono helped lead UTC to its 21st South-
ern Conference title and a 30th-place
finish at the NCAA Championships. He
was named the interim head coach in
2006.
Although new to his position as Ath-
letics Director, Rick Hart was heavily
involved in the national search for the
head coach, and said that Bono was
a perfect fit to direct the tradition-rich
program.
“We are excited to have Chris Bono
as our head coach on a permanent ba-
sis,” Hart said. “We are appreciative
of his leadership during the transition
between coaches and between athlet-
ics directors. We look forward to Chris
continuing the outstanding tradition of
HEAD COACH
CHRIS BONO
UTC wrestling, and we are confident
that he and his program will represent
the University and the City of Chatta-
nooga with the utmost class and com-
petitive spirit.”
Bono joined the UTC staff in 2005
after serving nine years as a wrestling
assistant coach at national-power Iowa
State. He worked for Head Coach Bob-
by Douglas and was the Cyclones’ head
assistant coach for the last five years.
During Bono’s final year on the ISU
staff, he helped direct the Cyclones to a
16-4 dual match record in 2004-05, a
third-place finish in the Big 12 Confer-
ence and a sixth-place showing at the
2005 NCAA Championships.
A native of Gilbert, Iowa, Bono
holds many coaching and competitive
honors. He was named the National
Wrestling Coaches Association Assistant
Coach of the Year in 2002 for his role in
ISU’s success that season. The Cyclones
compiled a 17-5 dual match record
and were NCAA runner-ups with five
wrestlers earning All-America status.
Bono, who lettered at Iowa State
from 1994-97, ranks fifth on the pro-
gram’s all-time wins list with 130 victo-
ries. He won the NCAA 150-pound title
as a junior.
A four-time NCAA participant, he
placed fifth at the Nationals as a soph-
omore and second as a senior. As a
freshman, he placed eighth at the Big
Eight Conference Championships. He
wrestled to a Big Eight Conference run-
22-Time SoCon Champions
ner-up finish his sophomore year, won
the Big Eight title as a junior and was
named the Most Outstanding Wrestler
at the inaugural Big 12 Conference
Championship in 1997. He registered
a 41-11 record as a sophomore, went
37-4 as a junior and was 37-2 his se-
nior season.
Bono’s wrestling success did not
come to a halt upon his graduation from
Iowa State. He won the bronze medal
at the 2008 Pan Am Games in March
and will compete at the U.S. Nationals
in April. His plan is to make
the U.S. Olympic Team for the
2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
During the summer of 2004 as
a freestyle competitor, Bono
defeated Doug Schwab, 5-4,
to take third place at the 2004
U.S. Olympic Trials in Las Vegas,
Nevada. In 2003, Bono won the 145.5-
pound title at the U.S. Senior Freestyle
National Championships in Las Vegas,
qualifying for the World Team Trials
in Indianapolis, Ind., where he was run-
ner-up at that same weight. He was a
U.S. World Cup team member, earning
the gold medal at the 2003 World Cup
Wrestling Championships in Boise, Ida-
ho, and was a member of the national
team at the 2003 Titan Games in San
Jose, Calif.
Bono’s freestyle accomplishments in
2002 led to a U.S. Senior Freestyle No.
1 national ranking at 145.5 pounds and
a spot on the U.S. World Team. He be-
gan the year with a first-place showing
at the Dave Schultz Memorial in Colora-
do Springs, Colo., followed by a fourth-
place finish at the Kiev Grand Prix in
Kiev, Ukraine. He won a bronze medal
at the Pan American Championships in
Caracara, Venezuela, and placed third
at the U.S. Freestyle National Champi-
onships in Las Vegas, earning a berth to
the World Team Trials.
At the 2002 World Team Trials,
Bono swept through the mini-tournament
beating Reggie Wright (Gator WC)
of Colorado Springs, Colo., 3-1 and
Schwab (Hawkeye WC) of Iowa City,
Iowa, 3-2 to advance to the finals. In
the 145.5-pound championship, Bono
defeated Jamill Kelly (Gator WC) of
Stillwater, Okla., 3-1 and 3-0, earning
