Campbellsville University will have women's wrestling in 2012 Women's wrestling will be the sixth athletic program started or reinstated in the past four seasons at CU and the 10th in Rusty Hollingsworth's 11 years as athletics director By Chris Megginson / Campbellsville University Sports Information CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY -. Beginning in the fall of 2012, women's wrestling will become the 25th varsity sports program administered by the Campbellsville University Department of Athletics, CU Director of Athletics Rusty Hollingsworth has announced. Women's wrestling will be the sixth athletic program started or reinstated in the past four seasons at CU and the 10th in Hollingsworth's 11 years as athletics director. "We are very excited to add women's wrestling to our list of athletic programs being offered at Campbellsville University. This is an Olympic sport that is experiencing growth at the collegiate level. We wanted to be proactive and move forward. Adding women's programs is a priority for our university and this is a good one to start with," said Hollingsworth. "We will expect this program, like all other programs, to recruit quality student-athletes committed to academic excellence and discipline." On September 2, 2011, members of the CU Board of Trustees athletic committee approved the proposal for the university to begin the process of adding the sport. Campbellsville will join the University of the Cumberlands as the only other women's wrestling collegiate program in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. CU is the ninth NAIA institution to start women's wrestling, getting closer to the 15-team limit the NAIA requires to recognize it as one of its sports. As of 2011-2012, eight other NAIA member institutions currently have a women's wrestling program - making up the majority membership in the Women's College Wrestling Association (WCWA). The WCWA, formed in 2008, is the current governing body for all collegiate women's wrestling programs at the NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA institutions. A search for a women's wrestling head coach will begin immediately. The addition of the sport has also led to discussion of a new wrestling building to house both the men's and women's teams, but no plans are currently finalized. Campbellsville has two of the three current NAIA emerging sports programs - bowling and competitive cheerleading. Bowling was the most recent of those added, starting in August 2009. For student-athletes interested in becoming a part of the inaugural women's wrestling program, contact the CU Department of Athletics at 270-789-5257. - CHRIS MEGGINSON This story was posted on 2011-10-26 08:54:11
