Although Fresno State wrestling was cut in 2006, the program never completely died. Really, it went into hibernation. And it waited for the right moment to reawaken. That moment is now.
“We’re excited to finally be back at it,” head coach Troy Steiner said. “We know we’ve got a heck of an opportunity here to get this program started out, and [we’re] just excited to get back at it.”
The program returns to competition on Nov. 11 in San Francisco with matches against San Francisco State and Nebraska-Kearney.
Former athletic director Thomas Boeh cut the wrestling team in 2006 in order to cut costs, a decision that was met with community disdain.
