Weight Class of Champions
The Cleveland State University Department of Athletics announced the "Viking Weight Class Champions" fundraising drive with a goal of scholarship sustainability as the program looks toward continued progress as a regional and nationally competitive program. Sporting a roster of thirty-one wrestlers, 28 from the state of Ohio, and three reigning NCAA qualifiers, Cleveland State Wrestling is taking the next step of the "New Era" while seeking philanthropic support under the leadership of Head Coach Josh Moore. 

The "Viking Weight Class Champions" initiative will provide CSU wrestling alumni and friends the opportunity to sponsor any one of ten weight classes through giving pledges.  All funds raised will continue to grow the Dick Bonacci Wrestling Endowment Fund, created in 1996 to support scholarship opportunities for the Cleveland State Wrestling student-athletes.

Donations to the wrestling program can also be made online HERE.
