Davidson Unveils Renovated Charles W. Parker Wrestling Room

DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Davidson wrestling program recently unveiled renovations to the Charles W. Parker Wrestling Room which now boasts added practice space, new mats, new wall padding, office space, and exercise equipment.
Siblings of Charlie Parker, who the room was named after, assisted with the ribbon cutting ceremony on September 16 to officially open the new wrestling room. Buzz Parker Jr ’66, Bonnie Parker, Bruce Parker, and Laura Beth Whittemore Parker were all in attendance. 
“The ceremony to unveil our new wrestling room was made more special with the attendance of four of the five Parker siblings,” said head coach Nate Carr Jr. “Coach Parker had a great impact on this program, and it was an honor having his family in attendance today.”
The refreshed space, which features over 5,000 square-feet of practice and office space sports brand new practice mats that cover the wrestling room from wall-to-wall, brand-new wall padding that surrounds the entire perimeter of the wrestling area, as well as two treadmills, eight stationary bikes, free weights, bleacher seating, a large flat screen television, and updated wall decals.  
Also, a new office space has been added directly within the wrestling room to give scholar-athletes direct access to a meeting space with staff members. This space can accommodate up to six people and has viewing access of the wrestling room.
“We are extremely excited about the renovations to our wrestling room,” said Carr. “The upgrades have given our athletes a state-of-the-art resource to train at a high level, and it also given us more space to utilize during practices. This renovation will go a long way in benefiting both our program and our scholar-athletes.” … rest of story at … Davidsonwildcats.com/news/2023/wrestling-unveils-renovated-charles-w-parker-wrestling-room
