U.S. Wrestling Foundation Honors Life Pacific Wrestling with Legacy Award

Editor’s Notes; While this new program is far west on the other coast it is good to recognize the growth of wrestling opportunities throughout our country. This is especially important and helpful to increase recognition and participation in and around the large media center of L.A.

Life Pacific is nationally honored for boldly innovating an all-new Warrior wrestling program. U.S. Wrestling Foundation (USWF) Chairman Jeffrey Waters and Board Secretary Dan Russell recognized Life Pacific College for doing what similarly-sized colleges might never dream of doing, championing and supporting a college wrestling program. The Chairman’s Legacy Award was given to Life Pacific and President Jim J. Adams during a star-studded gala on August 23 at the Los Angeles Center Studios in the Westlake District.
President Adams was quick to acknowledge the tireless work of Warrior Wrestling Head Coach Arsen Aleksanyen and LPC Athletic Director Tim Cook who have built the program from the ground up in just a few short months. Some 15 matches are already on the books for the inaugural season in multiple weight divisions. “Second only to football, wrestling is fast becoming one of college athletics most prestigious sports,” Tim Cook says. He believes wrestling requires personal disciplines that parallel the spiritual disciplines of the Christian life making it a perfect fit for the mission and values of Life Pacific College. “It is an honor to recognize LPC Wrestling,” says Dan Russell, a four-time NCAA Champion, four-time Academic All-American, 2004 Olympic Coach, co-owner of Bonhoeffer Brothers Media, and co-chair of the USWF Gala.
