Sean Edelin was first introduced to the sport of wrestling at Oxon Hill Jr High, but since Jr high sports were soon dissolved in Prince George’s county, he had to wait until he attended Oxon Hill Sr High in 1981 to begin his wrestling career.  But a lifelong passion for and dedication to the sport was sparked from the very beginning. 

Graduating from OHHS in 1984, he continued wrestling in college for a few years, starting at Western Maryland college under the tutelage of Dr. Sam Case, and then at George Mason University under Mike Moyer. 

After college, Sean got away from the sport for a few years while building his professional career in IT.  While attending a few HS matches, he ran into John Carpenter, who was now running the wrestling program at OH, and convinced Sean that he needed to return to the sport and coaching.  Sean welcomed the opportunity to help guide other young men, and give back to the sport that had given him the tools to succeed.

 And so began the journey that would see him develop numerous county, regional, and state place winners and champions.  While coaching the majority of his career at his alma mater, Oxon Hill HS, he also spent time guiding numerous student-athletes as a coach at Forestville Military Academy, Frederick Douglass HS, and the Buffalo Soldiers Youth Wrestling program.

Sean’s greatest achievement and thing he is most proud of, is helping to build the character of the hundreds of young men, and being a part of guiding them to their own successes in life.  Even after officially retiring from coaching, he remains active in the wrestling community, assisting whenever and wherever he can for his numerous former wrestlers who are now coaches,  giving back to the sport.
