Named the Division III Coach-of-the-Year in 1979 and 1987, Icenhower has produced 59 wrestlers who have combined for 103 All-American honors, including 19 Division III individual champions and one Division I titlist. Under Icenhower, the Lions have also won 19 of the last 22 Metropolitan Conference championships, including fourteen in a row from 1984 until 1998. Ten times he has been cited as the Met's Coach-of-the-Year, most recently at the conclusion of the 1998 championships.

Perhaps his crowning achievement, however, came in 1982 when he became the first Division III pilot to ever be a head coach in the prestigious East-West All-Star Meet. The honor repeated itself in 1997 when Icenhower was once again tapped to serve as a coach for the All-Star Meet, becoming the first Division III coach to serve twice on the staff of the East-West All-Star Meet. At the 1999 NCAA Championships, Icenhower was inducted into the NWCA Division III Hall of Fame and joined an elite club of just four coaches in all divisions that have coached over 100 NCAA All-Americans.

Icenhower's teams have won 10 New Jersey Athletic Conference championships outright and tied for another, posting a 56-5 league mark during that 14-year period (1980-93). In 1988, TCNJ also won the first annual NJAC post-season tournament, which was also hosted by The College.

Icenhower pilots the country's most successful Division III wrestling program. The Lions have produced 110 All-Americans in NCAA Tournament action, while finishing in the top 20 in each of the 27 years of the NCAA Division III Tournament. The Lions' 1,557.0 points in tournament action is also tops among the nation's Division III grappling programs in the history of the tournament.
