Keenan Hagerty, the former men's and women's wrestling coach at William Jewell College, joined the University of Missouri staff as director of operations in July 2022.
Hagerty joined the Tigers program after serving as the men's and women's wrestling head coach at William Jewell. Hagerty joined Jewell in Aug. 2020 and was tasked with starting a women's program while revitalizing the men's program after a 27-year hiatus.
During Hagerty's head coaching stint, he showed his mettle as a recruiter, bringing over 30 new student-athletes into the wrestling programs. He led the women's program to its first-ever national ranking of No. 15, while Emalie Olson earned the first individual national ranking at No. 8 in the 116-pound class. Five student-athletes from the women's program advanced to the NCWWC National Championships, and freshman Sarina Bertram was tabbed as the William Jewell Women's Newcomer of the Year.
Prior to his stint with the Cardinals, Hagerty spent four years as the top assistant at Maryville University. During that time, he helped Maryville to 19 All-Great Lakes Valley Conference selections, 15 NCAA-II national qualifiers, seven All-Americans and one national champion.
Hagerty spent his collegiate career at Maryville and compiled a career record of 125-28 while becoming a four-time national qualifier and three-time All-American. He opened his career in 2012 with a 33-7 mark, finishing as the national runner-up at 149. Following that season, he was named the Maryville University Male Athlete of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. Throughout his career, he set school records for wins in a season (42) and career (125), was a three-time Super Regional finalist, won the title in 2013 and was an NWCA All-Academic selection.
Although he competed collegiately across the state, Hagerty's wrestling roots run deep in Kansas City. He attended Blue Springs High School, where he won a state championship under his father, Mike, a 2016 inductee into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Hagerty earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from Maryville in 2016.
