Penn Highlands to debute men’s, women’s wrestling program in fall 2025

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WTAJ) — Penn Highlands Community College is adding two new athletic programs — men’s and women’s wrestling.
Starting in the fall of 2025, wrestling will join the winter athletics season, from October to March, as part of the National Junior Collegiate Athletic Association (NJCAA). “We’ve known for a long time that wrestling is a popular sport in our area that produces great student-athletes,” Sue Brugh, Director of Student Activities and Athletics said. “We were approached by local wrestling advocates and the National Wrestling Coaches Association about how it would benefit Penn Highlands. Now, we’re very excited to take the next step.”

The college’s Richland Campus will host all practices and home matches. … more at … https://www.wtaj.com/sports/local-sports/penn-highlands-to-debute-mens-womens-wrestling-program-in-fall-2025/
