Trail Blazers: Building A Tradition of Excellence

Welcome to Lebanon Trail Wrestling!  We have both girls and boys wrestling teams here at LT, though the students will tell you they are one big happy wrestling family. Boys can compete at the Junior Varsity or Varsity level, while girls all compete at the Varsity level. 

There are 14 weight classes for the boys and 10 weight classes for the girls, giving athletes of all sizes a chance to compete and be successful.  The boys weight classes range from 106 pounds to 285 pounds, and the girls range from 95 pound to 215 pounds.  Although a healthy diet will be encouraged, wrestlers will not be forced to “cut weight.” 

Wrestling is an intense sport that teaches hard work, dedication, and confidence.  These skills are important skills in preparing students for life after high school.  Wrestling can also teach athletes body control, leverage, and mental toughness that can transition to other sports, such as football.  Many NFL and NCAA football coaches recruit wrestlers because of their work ethic and body control.  For girls, wrestling continues to grow at the collegiate and Olympic level.  Many colleges are beginning to offer scholarship opportunities for girls wrestling.
