Queens University Announces Athletics Update

CHARLOTTE, N.C.- Queens University of Charlotte announced today that after careful consideration, the university will discontinue the sport of wrestling. This change will take effect immediately.   
“This was an extremely difficult decision,” said Cherie Swarthout, director of athletics. “We care deeply for our student-athletes and staff who are impacted.”   
The decision was made after careful consideration of a variety of factors, including the department’s ongoing review of sustainability and the ability to provide a high-level student-athlete experience. 
“This decision – in no way – reflects a diminished commitment to athletics,” Swarthout said. “In fact, it’s just the opposite. At Queens, we have an extremely strong history of success, and this decision will allow us to better focus our efforts and resources while continuing to evolve as a competitive Division I program,” Swarthout said.  … story at … Queensathletics.com/Queens-university-announces-athletics-update
