TEAM
The wrestling team consists of a tight group of wrestlers, ranging from high school all-state athletes to newcomers to the sport. They practice year round and compete through the winter and spring.
MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of Club Wrestling is to develop and encourage a high level of wrestling competition and to provide the opportunity for wrestlers to participate in competitive matches against other universities, clubs, and wrestling organizations.
COMMITMENT
The wrestling team practices two days a week and competes in four competitions between January and March. These competitions are on average about two hours away from campus.
TRYOUTS
Students are invited to join the team at any point during the fall semester as the team gears up for the season to start in the winter. The team welcomes athletes of all skill levels and those just interested in learning the sport.

Aidan Johnston, Club Wrestling Founder and former President
“Wrestling builds community. It’s also a really demanding sport, so there's a lot of toughness and grit that it develops. And I think there's elements of other virtues too – it takes courage to wrestle and it also takes humility. I think everyone should try wrestling because if you don't then somebody who did is going to kick your butt.”
