    Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! We are proud to announce the hiring of Camden Eppert as our new assistant coach. Coach Eppert comes to Wabash after just graduating from Purdue University with a Bachelors of Science in Publc Health Promotions this past May. He was a 4 year starter at 125 lbs on the Purdue wrestling team. While wrestling at Purdue University he was a 2x NCAA Qualifier, 4x Big Ten place winner, 3x Academic All-American. Eppert is originally from Anderson Highland high school where he was a 2x Indiana state champion. We expect Coach Eppert to make a big impact on our program in all areas, but especially focusing on our lighter weight classes. Coach Eppert had this to say about joining Wabash, "I am extremely excited to join the Wabash wrestling program and help build on the success they have been already having. It will be a great year and I cannot wait to get working for this college and this wrestling program!" We feel like this is another big step forward for Wabash Wrestling and will help propel us from a 9th place team finish this past year towards our goal of winning the 2015 NCAA Division III Team National Championship in Hershey, PA. A official release will come out sometime soon! Coach Irwin @wabashwrestling @DannyIrwin2

    Thank you very much for all the votes yesterday and the previous two days. We registered just over 2,000 votes yesterday to take home the Voting Portion of the competition! We are excited about this for numerous reasons, but probably the biggest one being the awareness this is creating and the momentum this will give us this fall when we start raising money for JDRF again! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wabash-College-Wrestling/121334284589946?fref=nf We will find out in August at the NWCA Coaches Convention if we won the overall award for Solid Service! Wabash Always Fights, Coach Irwin
