A 1973 graduate of Wheeling Central Catholic High School, Dan Doyle posted an outstanding career on the mats. He was a three-time place-winner in the Ron Mauck OVAC Wrestling tournament, winning the OVAC individual title in 1972. He capped-off his scholastic wrestling career by being crowned the 1973 West Virginia State Champion at 112 lbs. Doyle also had a stellar four-year mat campaign at Allegheny (PA) College, where he became a Division III national qualifier and graduated in 1977. After college, Doyle's first coaching position was at Jefferson Union High School. There he kept the school's proud wrestling tradition going until moving to Buckeye South High School to initiate wrestling in 1985. At Buckeye South, which later became Buckeye Local High School after consolidation, Coach Dan Doyle had to start from scratch. Within only a few years the Buckeye wrestling program shines, winning back-to-back Ohio Valley Athletic Conference (OVAC) over-all team championships in 1996 and 1997 in Wheeling WV, two OVAC Dual Meet titles, and an appearance in the Division II Dual Meet Tournament. For his efforts, Coach Dan Doyle was named twice as both the district coach of the year and the OVAC coach of the year. A past president of the OVAC, Dr Doyle is now the tournament director of the prestigious OVAC Wrestling Championships held at the Wesbanco Arena in Wheeling. Dan Doyle and his lovely wife Cindy have three children: Sean (who wrestled for his father), Erin, and Megan. Sean initiated the mat program at Wheeling Jesuit University, which has quickly become a force to reckon with in the division II ranks. Like father, Like son. Dr. Dan Doyle has been dedicated to wrestling in the Wheeling , WV area for over 45 years.
