program. Since taking over the reigns of the program, following the resignation of Eric Van Kley, Schaeffer has continued the tradition of excellence that Argo wrestling fans have grown accustomed to. In his first three seasons, Schaeffer has led his team to one first place (2008) and two runners-up (2009 & 2010) finishes at the NAIA Western Regional Tournament, as well as national finishes of 4th (2008), 12th (2009) and 3rd (2010).
Schaeffer is no stranger to NAIA wrestling as he was a four-time All-American at Montana State University-Northern. Schaeffer’s impressive collegiate career included individual finishes of 4th, 5th, and 5th in his first three years before culminating in a National Championship during his senior year. Schaeffer’s individual performance at nationals that year was a catalyst for the Lights as they took home the team title as well. He still holds records for the most wins (165) and most pins (85) in MSU-Northern history.
Schaeffer was a standout in the classroom as well, twice earning NAIA All-American Scholar Athlete Awards. He was also the recipient of the Student Excellence Award, the most prestigious award given to a student at MSU-Northern.
