My name is Matt Ahlstedt. I wrestled at Newton High School at 135 and 140, placing in 5A State at 140. I am currently a sophomore at the University of Kansas and I have greatly missed being able to wrestle. So, since KU has not had a wrestling club for several years, I began working to start the KU wrestling club last spring and with the help of a few friends, it is finally official.

KU now has a wrestling club.

We are currently working towards becoming a member of the NCWA, but we could use a good coach and more members. As of now, we have 20 members in the club.

Also, another member has already posted on the forums. His name is Taylor Medlin, and we have already been in contact with each other. He is now the Wrestling Club Vice President.

If you want to become a member, or know anyone who wants to join, email us at wrestlingclub@ku.edu.

We also have a website with basic information about the club, www.kuwrestling.org

We would greatly appreciate any support you could give us.

Thank you for any advice or suggestions!
