Kenny Arentz

Arentz was named the third Alvernia Women’s Wrestling head coach in program history in September of 2026. 

Arentz previously spent the past six years with the Governor Mifflin girls wrestling team including the past four as the head coach. Arentz has worked with the Governor Mifflin wrestling program since 2014 and has split time between assisting the boys and girls programs. 

Arentz started his coaching career as a volunteer assistant with the Governor Mifflin boys team in 2014 and eventually began to assist with the Steel Mat wrestling club, which allowed Arentz to develop and build relationships with local wrestlers and coaches. When Governor Mifflin started its girls wrestling program, Arentz was there from the start and has been the head coach of the girls program for the last three seasons. 

During his time as the head coach, Governor Mifflin has sent two wrestlers to the PIAA state tournament and has had one state medalist. Arentz also developed and coached eight state medalists before the PIAA sanctioned girls wrestling in the state. 

A Reading native and graduate of Governor Mifflin High School, Arentz earned a state medal and recorded 126 wins throughout his high school career. He began his college career wrestling at York College before transferring to Penn State Berks to finish his Mechanical Engineering degree.
