July 20, 2023,
Head locked from the headlines.
There is so much to see and read about when it comes to girl’s freestyle wrestling and we aren’t even in season right now.
Time to pull our shoulder straps up, put our singlets on, lace tightly our wrestling shoes and circle around the mats.
And the country.
There is good news.
On May 5, 2023, at uwosh.edu they educate, “The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is adding women’s wrestling to its athletic roster, becoming the second school in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference to add the sport.
Women’s wrestling will be the 20th sport added to the Titans’ lineup, which includes several national championships in the last five years and repeated appearances at NCAA events. This is the first sport to be added to the Titans’ roster since women’s golf was added in the 1996-97 season.”
Nothing like making history.
The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is a public university in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
It is part of the University of Wisconsin System and offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programs to around 14,000 students each year.
UW Oshkosh is the second-largest purchaser of renewable energy in Wisconsin and ranks 23rd among U.S. colleges and universities in renewable energy use.
The UW Oshkosh Model United Nations program has won over 30 Outstanding Delegation awards at the National Model United Nations.
Extremely impressive. A women’s wrestling program should thrive there.
Keep those traveling shoes on.
On May 16, 2023, the insiders at teamusa.org posted, “Newberry College will add women’s wrestling as an intercollegiate sport beginning in the 2024-25 academic year. The addition was approved unanimously by the college’s Board of Trustees.”
Fantastic to hear.
Newberry College is a private Lutheran college in Newberry, South Carolina. It has 1,250 students.
Newberry athletic teams are the Wolves. The college is a member of the Division II level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), primarily competing in the South Atlantic Conference (SAC) since the 1996–97 academic year.
Women’s wrestling is spreading its wings at all levels.
There is more.
On March 27, 2023, Manchester University added women’s wrestling as a varsity sport. The respected leaders at teamusa.org added, “Manchester University will offer women’s wrestling as a varsity intercollegiate sport starting in the 2024-25 academic year, making it the 50th NCAA Division III women’s team in the nation.
In addition to noting the DIII milestone, National Wrestling Coaches Association Executive Director Mike Moyer said this announcement represents the 154th new women’s intercollegiate wrestling program to be added across all divisions and governing bodies since 2000.”
That is a phenomenal milestone.
Manchester University is a private liberal arts university associated with the Church of the Brethren and two locations, a residential campus in North Manchester, Indiana, and a second location in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which hosts the university’s doctorate programs in pharmacy and physical therapy; master’s programs in pharmacogenomics, athletic training, and nutrition and nutrigenomics; and an accelerated second degree program in nursing.
Total enrollment is approximately 1,200 students.
Sounds like an up close and persona education. A perfect place to host a women’s wrestling team.
Manchester University teams participate as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association‘s Division III. The Spartans are a member of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC).
Good to know.
Well, there you have it.
For now.
Regarding the growth of women’s collegiate freestyle wrestling, we are certain we are in the early stages.
We’ll stay with a college theme here.
Given the continual rising costs of a college education, we thought the following information might help you in your higher education pursuits.
