WP Women's Wrestling

William Penn Women’s Wrestling Fundraising Campaign

Background
Our Women’s wrestling team strives every day to be the best versions of ourselves academically, athletically, and in life. The goals for our program are to win Olympic, World, and National Championships, and we work every day individually and collectively to achieve this! While we have athletes from all over the country with different skill levels and backgrounds, the only thing we ask of our wrestlers is to be hard workers and good people.

Our team, which is currently in its 6th year, continues to trend in the right direction! In the past two years, we have crowned 5 NAIA national champions, 11 NAIA All-Americans, and two top 4 team finishes! Along with this, our roster size has grown from 7 to 43 athletes. With women's wrestling being the fastest growing emerging sport, we fully expect our roster size to increase!
