A NEW BATTLE BEGINS: 2019 Worlds Ends In Heartbreak For Team USA
If you were to construct a brick wall using Type M mortar, douse it in gasoline and light it on fire, and then tell each United States Greco-Roman athlete that running through it would somehow — for some illogical and unknown reason — equate to a successful performance at these 2019 World Championships, they would have had but one question for you:
‘Is that all?’
Short of hopping out of an aircraft from orbit and voluntarily plunging to the Earth without a parachute, there is nothing each and every member of Team Greco would not have done — or did not do — to prepare for the all-important task of qualifying his respective weight class for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. But now that this weekend is over, and with the mission not accomplished and more questions floating in the ether than answers, you will be hard-pressed to find sympathetic (or educated) minds willing to reconcile the scope of effort required to even consider such an endeavor in the first place.

Concordia Wisconsin adds women’s wrestling as varsity sport
MEQUON, Wis. – Concordia University Wisconsin Director of Athletics Dr. Rob Barnhill has announced the addition of Women’s Wrestling, the University’s 33rd sport within the athletic department. A nationwide search for a head coach begins immediately. “I am very pleased to announce the addition of women’s wrestling to our growing list of sport offerings,” Barnhill said. “Girls wrestling in high school is one of the fastest-growing sport activities in the United States and we want to be an option for young women that want a first-class Christian education and pursue their sport of choice. There are dozens of colleges and universities across the country that have made the decision to begin women’s programs and we are excited to join them.”
Collegiate women’s wrestling is currently classified as a winter sport, with competition beginning in October and running through February. The Women’s Collegiate Wrestling Association (WCWA) governs the sport and has overseen the national championships since 2008. A total of 63 collegiate institutions currently field a varsity women’s wrestling team.
