Wrestling Season Begins

BYU now has a club wrestling team. This is the new club's third official season; about 30 guys are on the team. We practice Mon-Thur nights at 7:30 at Provo High School's wrestling room. Two students, Brannon and Tyler, lead the group by organizing practices and setting up our schedule this year.

Despite the club being small and relatively unofficial, our goal is to become an extramural sport next season. The university has told us that if we comply with their requirements we will receive this promotion.

Being an extramural sport would give us more credibility along with privileges to BYU exercise facilities. As far as the teams we wrestling, not much would change--we wrestle other teams in the NCWA (National Club Wrestling Association).

Practices for the club started two weeks ago. Our first matches won't be for another month at least though. If you know anyone who wrestled in high school and wants to compete, tell them about BYU's club team!
