Be The Bridge For The Trenton Youth Wrestling And Learning Center

Two decades ago, I became the head of a fledgling recreational youth wrestling program. Over time and with the help of the University wrestling staff and the community, we grew and created a nationally recognized training center that supports all levels of wrestling and academic excellence. It's time for Trenton!
