Asheville to host Southern Conference wrestling championship at UNC Asheville in 2025

The Southern Conference wrestling tournament is returning to Asheville in a two-year deal, the conference announced in partnership with Explore Asheville on Monday.
The Explore Asheville SoCon Wrestling Championship will take place at Kimmel Arena on UNC Asheville’s campus on March 7-8, 2025, coinciding with the SoCon basketball tournament that will be taking place from March 6-10, 2025, at Harrah’s Cherokee Center-Asheville. “We are energized and filled with heart to build upon the long-standing relationship between the Southern Conference and our community,” Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority CEO Vic Isley said in a release. “SoCon’s expansion of its event footprint here fires up our community comeback with customers and business momentum in Asheville, as sports fans, athletes and their families join us in 2025.”
Explore Asheville originally planned to host the 2024 Ingles SoCon Volleyball Championship at Harrah’s Cherokee Center–Asheville on Nov. 21–24, the first in a three-year partnership between the city and the conference. The tournament will instead be hosted at the Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium in Spartanburg, South Carolina, on the same dates.
The wrestling and basketball tournaments will bring sports and tourism back to Western North Carolina in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Helene. … more at … https://www.citizen-times.com/story/sports/college/2024/11/11/southern-conference-wrestling-tournament-to-be-held-at-unc-asheville-in-2025/76201492007/
