We offer our deepest condolences to the Pitt-Johnstown community following the passing of AD/Men’s Wrestling HC Pat Pecora. President Jem Spectar: “For over four decades, Coach P built a monumental legacy of athletics excellence, transforming Pitt Johnstown into an unparalleled wrestling powerhouse that propelled legions of UPJ athletes to state, regional, and national championships while also elevating and burnishing UPJ's reputation. […] The GOAT, in so many ways, was the personification of the fighting spirit of our Mt. Cat athletes, infusing the arena of competition with his characteristic resilience, relentless optimism, and indomitable will to prevail and triumph! On and off the court, and even decades after his students graduated, Coach P guided, shaped, and transformed the lives of legions of UPJ athletes, turning boys into successful men, advising and guiding students to become successful, impactful citizens and leaders in all walks of life across the country.” (link)
