Aven spent the last seven years leading Lawrence North. Before that, he was a standout wrestler at Zionsville High School before he wrestled collegiately at Purdue. He earned Academic All-Big Ten honors for four seasons, a run that included an appearance in the 2019 NCAA Wrestling Championships.
“Coach Aven brings a wealth of experience and a reputation for excellence to the Orioles,” said Avon athletic director Jason Young. “During his time at Lawrence North, he established himself as a tireless worker and a dedicated mentor. We are excited about the leadership and vision he brings to our wrestling program.”
Aven will replace former Avon coach Alex Johns, who resigned after five years — a tenure that included 24 state finalists and multiple state champions.
Now at the helm, Aven will usher in a new era of wrestling at Avon.
