BOONE, N.C. — The Southern Conference announced Thursday that Appalachian State has been named the host site for the SoCon Wrestling Championships in 2019 and 2020.
A vote of the league's wrestling members determined that the Holmes Convocation Center will hold the championships on March Sundays in 2019 (March 10) and 2020 (March 8)
App State will be joined by Campbell, Gardner-Webb, Davidson, Chattanooga, The Citadel and VMI next year, as SIU-Edwardsville is leaving the Southern Conference after this season. The league will again have eight teams in 2020 with the addition of Presbyterian.
The SoCon Wrestling Championships have been in Boone seven previous times, and next year will be the first time since 2011.
