The Warhawks Wrestling team will be splitting up this weekend, with half the team traveling to Indiana and the rest competing in Kenosha at UW-Parkside.

It takes a physically strong athlete to become a wrestler, but it takes a mentally strong athlete to remain one. Both physically and mentally taxing, the journey of a wrestler is not for the faint of heart.
