BALL STATE WRESTLING UP AND RUNNING

[currentwrestler]

We are on campus this year and will be competing.

 

The president's name and contact information is:

 

Colin Warner

crwarner@bsu.edu

 

We are part of the Great Lakes Conference (All National Collegiate Wrestling Association teams in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin).

 

The club began to be run by an ROTC guy last year who simply could not run an organization, but was removed from the position and the club is student-run now.

 

Our coach is Luke Register (former WTT Qualifier for the Marines).

 

We are incredibly excited to compete this year, and the first scheduled tournament is October 27th and the next one is scheduled for November 10th.
