Gone, Lost & Forgotten: Their Best = Bacone

One of the few colleges/universities you'll ever run across that also dropped their men's football program, the year of 2018 was not a good one for the Warriors athletics program.   That season they dropped football, volleyball, Men's wrestling, women's wrestling, men's golf, women's golf & Rodeo.  

I'm not sure when the men's wrestling program started but I do know that the women's program started in 2004-2005.  I would've liked to have included some of the best in Warrior women's wrestling but I wasn't able to come up with much regarding the program.  Matter of fact, I wasn't able to come up with much for the men's either.   

Geneva Grey 

What I do know is that Geneva Gray, sister of World Champion Adeline, was beginning to turn the program around & into a powerhouse when she took over during the 2016-2017 season.   I know in the short time she was their, she qualified 9 wrestlers one season & 10 wrestlers another season to the WCWA (Women's Collegiate Wrestling Association) championships.  I don't think the Warriors ever crowned a WCWA All American but I am more than happy to stand corrected on that report.
