Wing has reshaped Cornell baseball into a perennial postseason contender through 10 seasons on the Hilltop, highlighted by the program's first-ever Midwest Conference Tournament title and NCAA berth in 2019.
Along with his baseball coaching duties, Wing has served as Cornell's Director of Athletics since July 1, 2020.
Cornell's all-time winningest baseball coach, Wing has directed the Rams to the MWC Tournament five of the past seven full seasons, compiling 138 wins during the span. The Maquoketa, Iowa, native has coached 26 all-conference performers and 14 all-region honorees since 2012.
The 2019 squad finished with a 26-19 overall record, one win shy of the program's single-season mark. That team won four elimination games in the MWC Tournament to take the title and punch a berth to nationals.
The Rams have posted a winning MWC South Division record in six of the past seven seasons under Wing. They've landed the South Division Position Player of the Year three times (Caleb Wichman - 2019, Walker Breard - 2017, Zach Rogers - 2013) and Pitcher of the Year once (Andy Dodson - 2017). Wing's 2016 team finished 22-16 -- the third-most wins by a Cornell team -- and went 12-4 in division play.
Wing's 2015 club won three elimination contests in the MWC Tournament and advanced to the decisive championship game, one win shy of an NCAA berth.
Wing, who inherited a three-win team in 2012, quickly ended the program's 10-year postseason drought by taking the Rams to the 2014 MWC Tournament. His breakout 2014 squad finished 21-17 and achieved the program's first winning season in 11 years.
The 2013 Rams fielded the MWC South Division Player of the Year in Zach Rogers, who became Cornell's first baseball all-American.
Wing returned to his eastern Iowa roots from Winona State University, where he helped lead the Warriors to the 2011 NCAA Division II championship game as associate head coach.
Wing spent eight seasons on head coach Kyle Poock's baseball staff at Winona State, including the last three as associate head coach. His stay in Winona, Minn., culminated with the program's most successful season in 2011. Wing helped lead the Warriors to their first regional championship and a berth in the Division II World Series for the first time.
At the World Series, Winona State knocked off three top-10 nationally-ranked opponents before falling to West Florida in the national championship game on June 4, 2011, in Cary, N.C. Wing's squad finished the campaign at 42-18, doubling the team's win total from 2008.
Wing was Winona State's baseball recruiting coordinator and hitting coach while working with all position players on the team. He also served as admissions counselor since July 2005.
During Wing's coaching tenure, Winona State averaged more than 30 wins a season and achieved a team grade point average above 3.0 in each of the past five years. Wing coached 33 all-conference and 17 all-region performers while landing five Division II All-Americans. The Warriors twice fielded the Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.
Wing's impressive list of recruits includes Ben Barrone, the 2007 American Baseball Coach Association/Rawlings Division II Player of the Year. He also accounted for 28 academic all-conference players.
Winona State advanced to the NSIC Tournament in each of Wing's eight seasons, winning the league's postseason title in 2007. The Warriors earned regional berths in 2007, 2010 and 2011.
Wing was a two-sport athlete at Winona State, competing in football (1999-2000) and baseball (2000-03). He earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Mathematics from Winona State in 2003. Wing graduated with a master's in Educational Leadership from Winona State in 2008.
Wing has been baseball camp instructor at the University of Iowa since 2005 and served as clinician for Batter-Up 17 Lessons and Clinics in Rochester, Minn., for five years.
Wing was assistant baseball coach at Maquoketa High School from 2000-01. He was head coach at Blair-Taylor (Wis.) High School from 2002-03.
At Maquoketa High School, Wing earned all-state accolades in baseball and football and was team captain in both sports. In 1999, he played in the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association All-Star Game and the Iowa Shrine Bowl for football.
Wing and his wife, April, reside in Lisbon with their son, August, 9, and daughter Olive, 5.
