The wrestling team was one of the cheapest sports out there for UMD, all we needed was a room! Still feel for all the other wrestlers who lost their scholarships and all the supports that being an athlete at college can provide. Not to mention that one of the football coaches (who happened to be the locker room "warden") took all of our uniforms and equipment and gave them out to his football players. Boy the people I saw wearing wrestling stuff the next year got some crap from me!!

It was a respected team and then it was gone. What a sad story. Having been a wrestler at U.of Mn. with Reid Lamphere, I was always curious what happened to the UMD wrestling team.
