Army Wrestling Alumni Newsletter Vol 25-02

Greetings, fellow alumni, and welcome to the fourth edition of our Army West Point Wrestling Alumni Newsletter! Army completed another highly successful season where we dominated Navy, achieved a national ranking of 23rd, garnered a 3rd place EIWA finish, and sent 7 Wrestlers to the NCAA Championships. The team is heading into postseason Olympic style competition, ready to accomplish even more.

In this newsletter, we bring you the blockbuster news that Kevin Ward stepped down from the Head Coaching position and has headed to Oklahoma
State University to become an assistant coach. Though we are sad to see him go, we thank him for the tremendous job he did with the Army Wrestling Program. We are in great shape for whoever takes his place.

Other newsletter items include coverage of the WPWC Spring Gala and Awards Banquet, a look at the new wrestlers from the Class of 2029, WPWC news and events, the recruiting impact of NCAA Revenue Sharing Policies, and a few interesting Alumni news items.

We hope you enjoy reading this publication as we continue to strengthen the Army Wrestling brotherhood and keep our wrestling community informed and connected.
