“I am very excited that Jamie is joining our program,” Bisek said in a university sports information email. “He is familiar with NMU and he has a strong work ethic and high character.

“He has a presence in the local, regional and national youth wrestling community, and he has built one of the most successful youth programs in the Upper Peninsula. I believe he will be a great fit to help build our team.”

Segorski previously served as head wrestling coach at Escanaba High School for 14 years, spending a total of two decades with the program. He led the Eskymos varsity wrestling team to 11 district tournament titles and four U.P. team titles.

As an athlete, he was a three-time MHSAA wrestling champion and athletic letter winner as a wrestler at Ferris State. He also spent time wrestling for the All-Army Wrestling Team.

Outside of wrestling, he also coached with the EHS high school softball JV and varsity teams for a total of nine years.

Segorski spent 23 years in law enforcement and served in the U.S. Army.
