After Schultz’s murder, 20 former Foxcatcher athletes were left without training or coaching resources six months before the 1996 Olympic Games. Schultz’s widow founded the Dave Schultz Wrestling Club in March 1996 to sponsor the stranded wrestlers through the Olympics. The Club succeeded beyond the initial goal. It continued to train athletes in both men’s and women’s freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling until it closed in 2005. Among the wrestlers who competed under Dave Schultz WC sponsorship were Olympic gold medalists Kurt Angle (100 kg/220 lbs Men’s Freestyle, 1996) and Brandon Slay (76 kg/167.5 lbs Men’s Freestyle, 2000), Olympic bronze medalist Patricia Miranda (48 kg/105.5 lbs Women’s Freestyle, 2004), and World Champion Stephen Neal (130 kg/286 lbs. Men’s Freestyle, 1999).
Schultz trained at the Foxcatcher center while preparing for another Olympic bid, as well as coaching the wrestling team. On January 26, 1996, he was shot and killed by John Eleuthère du Pont, the owner of the center. Du Pont had exhibited bizarre and threatening behavior for an extended period preceding the murder.
