Roanoke College announces addition of NCAA wrestling programSALEM, Va. -- Roanoke College Director of Athletics Scott Allison announced Wednesday the addition of wrestling as the College's 22nd NCAA Division III sponsored athletic program. The Maroons will begin competition in the Fall of 2021 with a search for a head coach beginning immediately.
"We're pleased to add wrestling to our listing of men's intercollegiate athletic offerings," said Allison. "Our first challenge will be to find the right person to lead our program. Once we have our coach in place, it'll be time to hit the recruiting trail…hard. We think we can build a quality NCAA Division III wrestling program, one that can show evidence of success on the mat and in the classroom. We couldn't be more excited for the challenges that lie ahead."
