Wrestling requires great discipline, commitment, dedication, and a strong will that is unique to this sport alone and wrestling at Mercersburg is a program of great traditions, one that is over 70 years old.
Hundreds of wrestlers have accepted the challenges that Mercersburg Wrestling offers. Some were National Prep champions while others were junior varsity at best. All were dedicated athletes. Each year another group of young athletes writes the latest chapter in the storied history of one of the school's most successful sports.
The program is made strong by some simple beliefs. We believe that wrestling is a team sport, with individual effort, and that this type of focus captures the essence of wrestling. Good partners and supportive teammates work together, practice together, and succeeded together. For the student-athlete interested in the opportunities available in a quality program, motivation is plentiful to explore Mercersburg Wrestling.
