WVU Potomac State College announced the addition of men's wrestling at the NJCAA Division I level, increasing its intercollegiate athletics offerings to fifteen (15) varsity sports. The addition of wrestling marks another significant step in Potomac State's ongoing commitment to expanding athletic opportunities for student-athletes across the region.
"It is important for our student-athletes to not only advance their education in pursuit of career goals, but to also continue to be challenged by competing and further honing their athletic abilities," said Dr. Jerry Wallace, PSC president, who was a two-sport university athlete himself. "Student-athletes develop important life skills like discipline, teamwork, goal setting, and perseverance, all of which will serve their futures."
The new wrestling program will provide student-athletes from West Virginia and neighboring states — Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland — the opportunity to compete at a high level while benefiting from the College's reduced tuition rates for regional residents.
