Biography

In his 26th season at Spencerport, Jacoutot’s Rangers dominated New York State wrestling as few teams have in recent years. Spencerport finished the season 18-0, advanced five wrestlers to the Division 1 state tournament, and crowned two state champions. Spencerport also finished the season ranked 10th by W.I.N. magazine, the highest national ranking in the school’s history.

Jacoutot’s career record is 335-28-1 and his teams own a 40-match winning streak dating back to January 2006. He has led Spencerport to nine unbeaten seasons and none of his last 22 teams lost more than two dual meets in a season. Six of his teams – five in this decade – finished the season No. 1 in the New York State Sportswriters Association rankings. He has coached 31 state placewinners and 11 state champions.

Since being honored, Jacoutot continued to lead Spencerport until he stepped down in 2010. His teams won seven New York State Championships and 21 sectional titles. Individually, he coached 11 state champs and 34 state qualifiers. He finished with a career record of 387-34-2.

Upon retiring, Jacoutot joined The College at Brockport in 2010 as an assistant coach. In 2013, he was promoted to the Associate Head Coach, a position he still holds.
