Inducted into Wyoming's Hall of Fame September 24, 2004 as One of Wyoming's greatest wrestlers, Reese Andy was a three-time NCAA All American, only the second three-time All-American in Wyoming history (Hall of Famer Dick Ballinger, 1958-60, was the other). Wrestling at 177 pounds, he placed 2nd nationally in 1994 (defeating the top-ranked wrestler in the nation along the way), 6th in 1995 even after suffering a rib injury in the quarterfinals, and 2nd in 1996. He was a three-time Western Athletic Conference champion and was named Outstanding Wrestler in the conference three straight years (1994-95-96). He led Wyoming's wrestling team to a 22nd-place finish in 1994 and a 15th-place finish in 1996 at the NCAA Wrestling National Championships. Along with Brent Voorhees and Brandon Alderman, Andy was part of a team that featured three All-Americans in 1996, a feat which had not been accomplished at UW since 1959. In 1995, Andy was selected to wrestle in the Collegiate Wrestling All-Star Match. Andy finished his career in seventh-place on the top-ten list in all-time victories at Wyoming with 110 and seventh on the single season victory list with 38. Andy's overall record at Wyoming was 110-29, and he compiled a record of 38-4 in his senior season. A native of Billings, Montana, Andy began wrestling as a sixth-grader and was a three-time 4-A state champion at Skyview High School in Billings,MT. Competition has helped Reese Andy get places. During high school in Montana and his time at the University of Wyoming, wrestling competitions scored him trips to Hawaii and Greece. Later, Andy’s MMA talent would bring him to Japan, where he says MMA is the country’s most popular sport. He also competed in the business world to create the best gym in Washington, leading to the creation of his own gym called West Coast Fitness in RENTON, 1755 NE 48th st.98056. Andy also competes in intense games of Texas Hold ‘Em when not watching warrior movies like Gladiator, Troy, and Braveheart. Andy is a trainer and coach at heart, and he applies his discipline and guidance to himself and others. After graduating from Wyoming, where he was a three time All-American wrestler, he coached at Kirkland High School in Washington. It was there he met Matt Hume, who then owned the fighting school Judge For Pride. Hume convinced Andy to train at his gym and Andy soon began honing his MMA skills. Now, instead of high-schoolers, Andy trains MMA fighters of all ages at his gym, hosting fight nights once a week and giving private lessons. With the IFL, Andy will once again find himself traveling to compete all over the world.
