Garrett College will be first state JuCo mat squad in 2018-19
McHENRY – Garrett College’s Board of Trustees approved a proposal Tuesday night to add intercollegiate wrestling to its varsity sports lineup in the 2018-19 academic year.  In doing so, the Lakers become the first Maryland Junior College Athletic Conference mat team – an advantage GC Director of Athletics Dennis Gibson plans to use to the new program’s advantage. “Our first push will be to recruit from Northern Garrett and Southern Garrett’s high school programs,” said Gibson, “but we also expect this program to garner broad, statewide interest.  We plan to identify and aggressively recruit wrestlers from high school programs throughout Maryland and beyond, including the high schools in neighboring Allegany County and nearby Washington and Frederick counties.  We also hope to successfully recruit West Virginia.” Rest of the story at http://www.garrettlakers.com/general/2017-18/releases/20170921j4t4fx?mc_cid=f54dd776fa&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
