Frank Cammisa

Frank Cammisa is the only four-time NCAA Division III Championships qualifier in the history of the Bridgewater State wrestling program. Frank came to Bridgewater in 2006 and immediately made an impact on the Bears' wrestling team. In his freshman season he set school rookie marks for wins with 35 and pins with 21 on his way to capturing the New England Wrestling Association (NEWA) 149-pound title and advancing to the NCAA Tournament. Cammisa repeated as the 149-pound champion and made a return trip to the NCAAs in 2008. In 2009, he placed second at the NEWA Championships but was awarded a wild card to the NCAA Tournament. In his senior season, Frank moved up a weight class and captured the 157-pound NEWA title as he made his fourth straight appearance in the NCAAs. All told, Cammisa is tied for third all-time at BSU in career wins with 110, and ranks second in pins with 46. He captured seven tournament championships during the course of his career including the three New England titles. Cammisa became the head coach of the Bridgewater State wrestling program in September of 2014 after serving as an assistant coach for the previous four seasons. Since taking over the reins of the wrestling program, Cammisa has coached one All-American, one Scholar All-American and four different All-Northeast Region wrestlers. A native of Danbury, Connecticut, Cammisa is a 2011 graduate of Bridgewater State with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education with a concentration in Recreation. Frank presently resides in Braintree, Massachusetts with his wife, Katelyn, and son, Vinny. He currently works at South Shore Educational  Collaborative in Hingham as a milieu coordinator.
