  • ABR EP. 485 — Anthony Mancini | Building Cal Poly Humboldt Wrestling into a DII Contender

    ABR EP. 485 — Anthony Mancini | Building Cal Poly Humboldt Wrestling into a DII Contender
    Nov 3 2026
    Anthony Mancini — Cal Poly Humboldt Head Wrestling Coach | Airey Bros Radio Ep. 485What does it take to build an NCAA Division II wrestling program in one of the most unique corners of the country?

    New Cal Poly Humboldt Head Wrestling Coach Anthony Mancini joins Airey Bros Radio for Episode 485 to talk about his journey through college wrestling, coaching, rebuilding programs and now taking over the Lumberjacks in Northern California.

    Mancini's path to becoming a head coach wasn't a straight line.After beginning his college career at Franklin & Marshall, Mancini admits he was a "knucklehead" as a freshman and was temporarily removed from the team. Instead of walking away, he rebuilt his habits, changed his approach and eventually became a three-year captain. That experience helped lead him toward coaching.

    Mancini later transferred to NCAA Division II powerhouse Nebraska-Kearney, where he competed before joining the coaching staff and getting a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build a national championship-caliber wrestling program.

    From there came five seasons at San Francisco State, where he helped the Gators rebuild following the COVID hiatus before landing the opportunity he'd had his eye on for years:Cal Poly Humboldt Wrestling.

  • Two 100-Milers, Two Buckles, One Summer | Emily Coggin’s Western States & Leadville | ABR 484

    Two 100-Milers, Two Buckles, One Summer | Emily Coggin’s Western States & Leadville | ABR 484
    Oct 27 2026
    Emily Coggin is back on Airey Bros Radio for her third appearance after putting together an incredible 2026 ultrarunning season.

    Emily took on two of the most iconic 100-mile races in the sport in the same summer:🏃‍♀️ Western States 100 — 23:30:57 | 24th Female ⛰️ Leadville Trail 100 — 24:15:46 | 15th Female | Big BuckleAnd the road to those finishes was anything but easy.

    After finally getting into Western States following years in the lottery, Emily underwent an emergency appendectomy just seven weeks before race day. Instead of giving up the opportunity, she recovered, made it to the starting line and eventually found herself chasing a sub-24-hour finish through the final miles into Auburn.

    Emily breaks down that Western States experience, the push through the final 20 miles, what surprised her about the course, and how her crew helped keep aid-station stops to a minimum.

    Then we head back to Colorado for Leadville, where Emily earned her first big buckle despite a changed course, more pavement and another long day in the mountains.We also get into real-food fueling versus the high-carb gel trend, balancing 100-mile training with working night shifts as an ER nurse, the gear that worked, why experience has changed the way she races 100 miles, and what could be next — including Hardrock, High Lonesome, Wasatch and the UTMB races.

    Another great conversation with a longtime friend of the show who has gone from finishing 100-milers to truly racing them.

  • From 9 Athletes to the NCAA Championships | Catawba’s Jason Bryan | ABR 483

    From 9 Athletes to the NCAA Championships | Catawba’s Jason Bryan | ABR 483
    Oct 20 2026
    Catawba College Head Men’s & Women’s Cross Country and Track & Field Coach Jason Bryan joins Airey Bros Radio for Episode 483.

    When Bryan arrived at Catawba in 2014, the cross country program had just nine athletes. More than a decade later, Catawba has sent both teams to the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships, produced All-Americans and national-level athletes, built a track & field roster of more than 70 athletes, and is preparing for the next major step in the program’s growth — a new $7 million track facility.

    Coach Bryan takes us back to his own unlikely start in running, walking on at Anderson University and eventually becoming a team captain and conference champion. He explains how that experience shaped his coaching philosophy and why relationships, mindset and the “art of coaching” remain at the center of his program.We get into the realities of building a college program from the ground up, recruiting at the NCAA Division II level, developing walk-ons, creating a team culture athletes actually want to be part of, Catawba’s growth, and why getting recruits on campus can change everything.

    Bryan also talks about learning patience without becoming complacent, bringing energy every day as a coach, and what comes next for Catawba XC & Track.

    If you’re a high school runner, parent, coach, or anyone interested in what it really takes to build a college program, this one is for you.
