Founded in the fall of 2024, Colby Wrestling is one of the newest additions to the College’s athletic landscape. Our mission is to provide a disciplined and high-energy environment where students can either learn the fundamentals of wrestling for the first time or hone the skills they developed in high school. As we continue to grow, we are focused on establishing a culture of grit and excellence that will put Colby on the map as a premier destination for competitive club wrestling.
As a recently established program, we face the unique challenge of building our infrastructure from the ground up. To transition from a training group to a fully competitive team, we are fundraising for the essential components of a collegiate wrestling program, including:
- Safety and Maintenance: Investing in high-quality mats and the necessary supplies to maintain a clean, professional training environment.
- Team Identity: Providing official singlets for our athletes to represent the College in competition.
- Professional Leadership: Securing funding for a coach to provide technical instruction and safety oversight.
- Competition Readiness: Covering National Collegiate Wrestling Association fees and transportation costs to allow our wrestlers to compete in regional tournaments.
Colby Wrestling offers students a rare opportunity to test themselves in one of the world's most physically and mentally demanding sports. Beyond the mats, we have ambitious plans to expand our reach by partnering with local communities around Waterville to grow the sport of wrestling throughout the region. By supporting our club, you are investing in a community that values hard work, resilience, and the pursuit of athletic growth.
