The Underdogs

Being a division 1 wrestler is an accomplishment within itself only 3% of high school wrestlers go on to the division 1 level. Most of the division 1 schools are big in numbers and have a lot of money to offer their athletes. This is not true of Lock Haven. No, Lock Haven is special in that regard. We are just a small school and we are not fully funded. This means that most of the money for scholarship comes from fundraising and from donors. This makes it hard for us to compete with the big schools with all the money, but there are good things about being at a small school and being a division 1 athlete. One of the best parts is being the only male division 1 sport. We get a few more perks than the other sports at our school. Are facilities are very nice and we are always looking for ways to expand what we can do as a program. Wrestling for a small school takes a lot of drive and determination. Like I said we compete with all these big schools and are goals are the same as theirs. We have to work just as hard and perform just as well when we have not nearly the same amount of resources. Our best weapon to compete at this level is support. Whether you know of us or follow us religiously, I encourage you to take a closer look. See what we are doing and how hard we are working to compete at the highest level. Even if you’ve never heard of wrestling, the sheer determination I describe that we have in this blog cannot be ignored. If you’ve ever cheered for the under-dog or like to see the little guy come out on top then come support us. An increase in the number of people in the stands will not go unnoticed. We are the little guy, and we’re looking for your support and looking for ways to grow our program into a national powerhouse. All I’m asking is that you follow along. Root for the little guy, Cheer for the underdog, and Support Lock Haven Wrestling.
