Gifts to Wrestling contribute to...
From Coach Matt Oney ’90:
Once again, we have goals of preparing and performing as a championship-level team on and off the mat. Our wrestlers train hard every day, and we all know the effort it takes to perform well in the classroom at WPI as well as on the mat. Having “best in class” training facilities and competing out of region against top level opponents is so valuable, and the donations from the Goat Nation Giving Challenge help us make that possible.
We are also constantly recruiting all over New England, the northeast, and throughout the country, looking for the right kind of young man who can thrive in our academic environment while contributing to our WPI Wrestling culture in positive ways. Your support is critical in ensuring we can continue this recruitment in the future. I want to give these current student-athletes the best possible culture and environment to help them thrive and reach all the goals they’ve set for themselves, individually and collectively. Thank you for any amount you’re willing and able to donate, it all makes a difference to our wrestlers and their experience here.
From Student-Athlete Tanner Thatcher '25:
"The WPI Wrestling team is a very strong support system for academics, as well as physical and mental wellbeing. Our team's culture has amplified my productivity and prioritization skills, creating the best version of myself. Four years on this team has taught me adaptability, availability, perseverance, and collaboration.
A donation means more opportunities to travel and wrestle the best competition. Funding also goes to improving capabilities to train hard with better equipment. Every group in the WPI and WPI Wrestling network is crucial to help the team reach their goals!"
From Alumni Athlete Chase Lind '20:
"I have WPI Wrestling to thank for many of the amazing things in my life. I was surrounded by mentors who had been in my shoes as alumni and coaches. I was able to use our excellent equipment and facilities year-round. I was able to travel with my team around the country to compete and make amazing memories that I will never forget. Support for WPI's wrestling program makes an experience like mine possible for even more young athletes and helps to continue the legacy of the program. Thank you."
