Former Half Moon Bay High School assistant wrestling coach Lee Allen died Monday of congestive heart failure. The former Olympian was 77.

Allen was a wrestling coach at the school where his daughters, Sara Fulp-Allen and Katherine Fulp-Allen, attended the school.

The two girls helped with the growth and development of girls wrestling, winning many tournaments.

The El Granada resident was a member of several halls of fame, including the San Mateo County Sports Hall of Fame, the California Wrestling Hall of Fame and the Skyline College Hall of Fame.

Allen was a two-time Olympian. His chance to coach the 1980 Olympics was denied as a result of the U.S.-led boycott of the Olympics held in Moscow.

He coached four other U.S. Greco-Roman World teams.
