In his 19 years as the head coach of Haverford’s varsity wrestling team, Bruce Kennett has led the Fords as perennial Pennsylvania Prep Place-winners, competing for both state and national championships. During his tenure, Kennett has helped produce 13 Pennsylvania State Prep Champions, one National Prep Champion, and a Beast of the East Champion. Getting his coaching start at Mitchell Main Line Day School in 1975, Kennett moved to Malvern Prep in 1978, a post he held for 17 years before coming to The Haverford School in 1995. He also coached the AAU Middle Atlantic National Team
from 1994-2000, the Pennsylvania Cadet National Team from 1997-2003, and Team USA at The Down Under Games in Australia in 2005. Throughout the years, Kennett has stressed the importance of good technique, and trained his athletes in a competitive and fun atmosphere. His success in doing so has helped a majority of his boys move on to wrestle at the collegiate level. Kennett wrestled at Haverford High School before competing for the West Chester University Rams, where he graduated in 1973. Kennett still lives in West Chester with his wife, Sheila; they have four sons: Dan, Matt, Brett ’01, and Ryan ’04.
