MSU Club Wrestling allows wrestlers to continue playing sport they love

High school is where many students discover their love for a sport, but after the transition to a higher level institution, it is difficult for students to dedicate a significant amount of time to sports.  “I really loved wrestling throughout high school and wanted to keep going," criminal justice sophomore John Hood said. "I understand college is a time where school is priority. It's not as high on my list as school but it's something I like to do to stay in shape meet new people and keep up with the sport I love.” The wrestling club meets every Monday and Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.
