It is true that there have been efforts for many years to get Baker to start a wrestling program, I have been mostly behind that along with many other wrestling enthusiasts in the area. And it is also true that my Dad is the Athletic Director and has a wrestling background, he coached high school wrestling in Missouri for 17 years prior to coming to Baker, was a high school wrestler himself, and even started a couple high school programs in Missouri in the 1970's. He has been supportive and well receptive to the efforts. I am not very optimistic right now about the prospects, at least not in the near future, but will keep making attempts.
I have never expressed interest in the coaching job if a program were started, and am still doubtful I would even apply. And I am sure there would be plenty of applicants with much more credentials on their resumes anyway.
I am waiting for more information on the issue soon and will see where to go from there and will be sure to keep all posted.
I know the KWCA is discussing efforts to push for more collegiate programs at other universities around the state.
