WRESTLING - Servies Wrestling Room

Part of Wabash College’s commitment to wrestling can be seen in the new Max E. Servies ’58 Wrestling Room. The practice facility, made possible in part by a gift from Dr. K. Donald Shelbourne ’72, was used for the first time during the 2000 season. The room can be used for wrestling practice as well as aerobics, martial arts, and yoga studies.

The Servies Wrestling Room isn’t the only addition to program. Wabash also dedicated part of the Chadwick Court renovation as an upgrade to the wrestling meet facilities. Two new mat lifting systems allow wrestling competition mats to be easily stored during basketball games, and quickly lowered and put into place for wrestling meets and tournaments. Three new media tables, two new scoreboards and controllers, and a redesigned bleacher section allow space for four matches to take place at the same time. This was invaluable as the Little Giants hosted three major tournaments during the 2000-2001 campaign, including the 2001 NCAA Division III Midwest Regional in February.
