A 3-time wrestling All-American for his father, Hall of Fame Coach Dr. Vince Monseau, Vinnie Monseau became a national champion in another sport after leaving the hilltop.
Monseau was a 4-year letterman and 2-year captain on the Hilltopper wrestling team. His 93 career wins rank among the school’s top 10 all-time and he was a 3-time NAIA All-American. West Liberty’s 1992 Student-Athlete of the Year was also an All-WVIAC cross-country selection and became the first Hilltopper student-athlete to receive an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship.
While working toward his medical degree at WVU, Monseau continued to run competitively. He was 5th in the 1995 Erie (Pa.) Marathon and ran in the 1996 Boston Marathon. Monseau then turned his focus to triathlons, quickly bolting into national and international prominence. The 2-time national champion (2003, 2008) represented Team USA at four ITU World Championships, was a 12-time USAT All-American and 3-time Ironman Hawaii finisher.
Monseau earned his medical degree from WVU in 1996 and is a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician.
