GALESBURG, Illinois - Knox College announced today that it will no longer offer a wrestling program, starting with the 2015-16 academic year.

"This was a difficult decision to make and one that we took very seriously, vetting it with coaches, the administration, trustees, and donors who supported the program," said Knox College Athletic Director Chad Eisele. "After much discussion, we have decided that it is not feasible for the College to continue to offer a sustainable and competitive wrestling program."
