William Penn adds women’s wrestling program

OSKALOOSA — William Penn Athletics Director Nik Rule is excited to announce the addition of women’s wrestling to the list of intercollegiate sports the University offers.
The sport will begin competition in the 2020-2021 school year. It is the sixth sport to be added recently, joining men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s shotgun sports. Men’s and women’s shotgun sports, which were announced last week, will also begin competition next year.
The NAIA, which has the largest number of women’s wrestling teams of any intercollegiate association, had 25 schools participate in the fast-growing sport a year ago. Menlo (Calif.) claimed the inaugural NAIA National Invitational title this past March. The sport will be eligible for Championship status in the NAIA after it spends two years as an invitational sport and if it grows to 40 institutions.
“Women’s wrestling is on the rise across the country with more and more high school girls competing each year,”  Rest of the story at http://www.statesmenathletics.com/article/8271.php
