Jon Sioredas enters his second season as the head wrestling coach at Grand Canyon heading into 2015-16. To help build the depth across all weights to the standards of a Division I championship program, Sioredas brings a vast background of collegeiate experience as a coach as well as an All-American wrestler in his competitive days.

Sioredas (pronounced suh-REE-duss) came to GCU after serving as head assistant at Tennessee at Chattanooga. UTC finished the 2013-14 dual season ranked in the national top 25, at one point ranking as high as No. 19. The Mocs also captured the regular-season conference title, the conference tournament title, and qualified five for the NCAA tournament in Oklahoma City, with two seeded in the top 10.

Prior to his two seasons in Chattanooga, Sioredas spent six seasons as an assistant coach at Old Dominion. He helped guide the Monarchs to the top 25 in dual meet rankings four of his six years, with four All-Americans and an NCAA finalist. ODU also had 10 NWCA All-Academic honors, as well as being named top 10 in the nation in grade-point average during his tenure.

A All-American while competing at Chattanooga, Sioredas finished fifth in the 165-class in the 2005 Division I Championships. He was a two-time Southern Conference Champion and 2005 SoCon Wrestler of the Year and Tournament MVP.

He was recently inducted into the Tennessee at Chattanooga Athletics Hall of Fame.

Sioredas graduated in 2005 with a degree in sociology and anthropology. He earned his Master's in Business Administration from Nova Southeastern University in 2009.

A native of Chesapeake, Va., and a 2000 Great Bridge High School graduate, Sioredas was a Virginia state champion, All-American, and national champion. He amassed a 181-13 career record, becoming the fourth winningest wrestler in Virginia High School history. He and his wife, Michele, have a son, Braden.
