The Lakeland University men's wrestling program will benefit from an influx of 12 more student-athletes to its roster in the fall.
Head Coach
Mike DeRoehn shared his genuine enthusiasm about the group:
"It's exciting to bring in another strong class of the right kids who want to be part of the program we're re-building. I'm grateful they chose to be Muskies and can't wait to connect them with our group of upperclassmen returning, who have been instrumental in the progress we've been making. I believe the future continues to look bright for Muskie Wrestling!"
In addition to 11 newcomers to the program, the Muskies are excited to welcome back 2024 Lakeland graduate
