Baker University is located just outside of Kansas City in Baldwin, Kansas. They will begin their inaugural NAIA season in 2009. The Head Coach is Jimmy May, who was recently inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. He has Western roots that were set in Las Vegas where he lead the nationally ranked Eldorado Sundevils to eight straight Nevada State titles.
Coach May is looking for interested high school senior wrestlers, junior college wrestlers about to end their junior college careers and current college students not wrestling but who might be considering a return to wrestling.
Unfortunately, Coach May is a one man recruiter right now, and his resources are limited until the 2009 season officially begins.
With the opportunities to wrestle at the colligate level decreasing each year, Baker now offers wrestlers another viable option. Additionally, Baker is an academically driven private institution that offers full scholarship, grants and financial aid.
If you or yours are interested in becoming part of this first Baker University NAIA wrestling team contact Jimmy May at Baker University. You can find out more about Baker University by getting on their website. http://www.bakeru.edu/
