Couple inducted into National Wrestling Hall of Fame after decades of teaching ‘love’ for the sport

The last four decades have been busy for Lucy and Randall Stowe, two longtime York County residents. Since Lucy, 64, and Randall, 66, got married on Independence Day in 1975, they have hosted more than 30 European exchange students and volunteered with and coached more than 1,600 children in youth wrestling clubs and tournaments. In April, the couple’s dedication of many hours, days and weeks to a single sport — wrestling — earned them a joint induction into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. They are the third couple in the Virginia chapter to receive a joint recognition, Lucy Stowe said. “It teaches kids how to achieve their goals,” Randall said.

Lucy and Randall are both from Danville, but they met while attending Danville Community College in the early 1970s. Both have experience in wrestling — Lucy through casual roughhousing and Randall while on teams in grade school — but found their place in coaching and volunteering.
