This will be a tremendous blow to the great sport of wrestling that we all hold so near and dear to our hearts.
Coaches: lose an excellent camp through which your wrestlers improve, excellent schools to have standouts be recruited by, and a program of excellence that your young athletes can look to for guidance.
High school wrestlers: lose another opportunity not only of furthering their education with financial assistance through scholarships, but also the overall pool of schools they can attend to further their wrestling career shrinks, again.
Collegiate wrestling in the South East and Nationally: lose a tough opponent. Steel sharpens steel and when you remove Carson Newman's wrestling, the level of competition will diminish.
Dan Gable said, "Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy". I still work hard to achieve in life, but I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the lessons that I have learned from Don Elia and the great sport of wrestling.
I humbly ask for your help. Please join the facebook group Save Carson Newman Wrestling, make a pledge, make a call, send an email, or do something to make a stand to preserve wrestling at Carson Newman. We must be strong, resolute, and unified in letting the administration of CN know that with the right focus and creative thinking the program can be saved and continue to grow, prosper, and benefit so many as it has for so many years.
