Northern Oklahoma College has selected Jayden Miller to lead the new NOC Womens' Wrestling program.

The program will begin wrestling in Fall 2024.

Miller, a Nebraska native, comes to NOC from Southwestern Oregon Community College where he served as an assistant for the men's and women's wrestling programs.

Athletic Director Alan Foster is excited that Miller will be leading the women's program.

 "Jayden's (Miller) experience at the college level brings an immediate understanding of recruiting and what is needed to run a college program," Foster said.

 Miller can't wait to start the newly created women's program.

"I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity that Northern Oklahoma College has given me," Miller said.  "It has been a dream of mine to be a college head coach since I was little. To be the Inaugural Head Women's Wrestling Coach at NOC is something I take with a great deal of pride."

"I want to thank the people who have helped me along the way," he added.  "Southwestern Oregon Community College coaches Adam Whitlach and Josh White were a big help. They are two excellent coaches who treated me like family.  I definitely wouldn't be here without them. The entire SWOCC athletic department has help me become a better person I can't begin to thank them. I would also like to thank Chad Mattox because he was a huge help in getting my foot in the college door.:

"I would also like to thank my parents have been nothing but constant support for me since I started wrestling so many years ago," Miller said.  "They were my support system throughout this whole process. I can't wait to get started. This has all been surreal. I can't begin to thank everyone at NOC for giving me this opportunity."

 Miller will also assist men's head coach Bryan Kenney.
