KENOSHA, Wis. --- The Parkside wrestling team is excited to announce the addition of 11 student-athletes in the signing class of 2023.
Â
"It's always exciting bringing new student-athletes into our program that share the same vision with the rest of our team members," said Head Coach
Nick Becker. "Overall, I believe we have a solid recruiting class coming in this year and I look forward to witnessing these guys grow as young men. It is likely that most of this year's class will redshirt this season. As a coaching staff, we are looking to develop these guys into the best versions of themselves and have them push the rest of our team. Winning will take care of itself as long as we are doing the right things in the classroom and in the practice room."
