HEAD COACH

JOHN ARCERI

Coach John Arceri joined the LIU wrestling staff in 2022 as an assistant coach and was elevated to Head Coach in 2024. In his time as an assistant, Arceri played a pivotal role in the program's development, helping to guide three EIWA place winners and mentoring LIU's first-ever national qualifier.

Arceri brings a wealth of experience to his new role, both as a coach and as a former standout wrestler. His career as a competitor laid a strong foundation for his coaching philosophy. At Nassau Community College (NCC), Arceri became a national qualifier and contributed to Nassau’s victory in the 2018 Division III National Championship. He continued his wrestling career at the University at Buffalo, where he became a national qualifier once again after finishing fourth at the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championships. In addition to his wrestling accomplishments, Arceri was named a Scholar All-American and earned Academic All-MAC honors for his academic achievements.

His prep career at Huntington High School was equally impressive. Arceri was a state champion, a two-time state finalist, and a four-time county champion. He also earned the prestigious title of High School Freak Show National Champion, cementing his status as one of New York’s top high school wrestlers.

As Head Coach, Arceri is eager to build on the program's progress, continuing to develop LIU wrestlers both on the mat and in the classroom. His blend of wrestling expertise, leadership, and commitment to student-athlete success makes him well-equipped to guide the program to new heights.
