Play Hard” taking the message of nutrition and exercise to local elementary schools.  Additionally, Walsh served two terms as the Vice-President for Pitt-Johnstown’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Manchester College head coach Matt Burlingame is excited about the new addition to his program.  “Patrick epitomizes the vision of the Manchester College wrestling program – to be the best wrestlers on the mat, the brightest scholars in the classroom and the best men in our communities” he said.  “Not only does Patrick come from a college program that boasts 136 All-Americans and 10 National Champions.  He also comes from a program renowned for its commitment to community service and caring for its kids.
