It’s time for the 2023-2024 Rams wrestling season. Just what should we expect from the team this year?

About 80 percent of Americans have at least one brother or sister. Far fewer – about 20 percent – attend the same college as a brother or sister. Among those few are Bluefield College’s Luke and Ethan Young.

Bluefield College wrestler Creed Lumpp earned a bid to compete in the NAIA National Tournament, just the second ever national qualifier in wrestling in BC history.

Bluefield College senior Gustavo Gomez says he came to BC in hopes of growing his faith in Jesus Christ. Not only has he done that, but he has also participated in sports and made lifelong relationships.

After last year’s historic inaugural season, the Bluefield College men’s wrestling team is heading into its second year with the experience they did not have a year ago.

Last fall, Bluefield College added to its growing list of athletic teams a wrestling squad, and under the direction of new head coach Jason Waelti, the young Rams are laying the foundation for success.
