Joe Renfro, the head coach at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, has been given the inaugural Walter Hauck NJCAA Coaches Association President of the Year Award.

Renfro has been the head record coach at NEO — located in Miami — since the 2013-14 season. He is also the athletic director at the junior college. He also actively serves the NJCAA Wrestling Coaches Association as President.

Renfro is 236-46-4 in his tenure at NEO and will be entering his 11th year this upcoming season. He became the head coach in March 2013 after a stint at Labette County Community….
