FAMU Wrestling Team

This year, FAMU'S Wrestling Teams will be attending the National Wrestling Tournament in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is a very exciting opportunity for our wrestlers since this is the first time that the National Tournament has never been held in Puerto Rico.

Our teams need your help to get there. The funds donated will go directly towards helping our wrestlers pay for flights, hotels, and feeding the team in Puerto Rico for our stay. Any donation amount will be greatly appreciated and will help us get closer to our goal. Our teams plan on taking 7 athletes from our men’s team, and 5 athletes from our women’s team. This will be an excellent experience for both our men's and women's teams.

Here's some information about the Wrestling Teams: We are the longest active HBCU wrestling program that wrestles annually collegiate level against NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA colleges and universities.

Some of our current accomplishments include:
