Please welcome our new SFUWrestling women’s leadership team.
 
Former SFU wrestler Nishan Randhawa, a seven-time WrestlingCanada national champion, will serve as head coach.

He has represented Canada at four senior World Wrestling Championships, three under-23 world tournaments and three junior world meets. He was the 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medalist and bronze medalist at the 2023 Pan American Games. Randhawa also captured bronze at the 2025 Pan American Championships.

He was an assistant coach with SFU Wrestling last season, and a volunteer assistant the one before that.

Accomplished leader Gord Sturrock will be Mentor Coach, SFU Women’s Wrestling. He is a National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) Master Coach Developer, and instructor of upper-level Sport Science courses at Douglas College.

He has coached on various provincial and national teams and first coached with SFU between 1996 and 2000. Sturrock has been an assistant coach with the Red Leafs since 2021. He was a member of Canada's national wrestling team (1979-1991), winning bronze and silver medals on the world stage as a junior competitor.

He was honoured with a SportBC President's Award, which are given to "outstanding volunteers from Sport BC member organizations who go above and beyond in supporting their sport and community," in 2024.

Randhawa and Sturrock will succeed Justin Abdou, who is set to retire after a legendary wrestling and coaching career at SimonFraserU.
