2/26/2018

Dover, Delaware -- Obe Blanc has been named Coach of the Year by the 2018 National Collegiate Open.

Blanc serves as an assistant coach at NC State where his athletes have recognized him as being instramental in their training and development throughout the season, in addition to his leadership mat-side during the championship event.
