Head coach Kenny Monday at Morgan State's first practice.
Words cannot express how happy I am to be able to attend the first home match since the return of Morgan State's program. For so many years, the alumni and supporters of the program were working to get the program back and now we're here. We are excited for this day and look forward to more great things in the future.
Today marks a significant milestone in the return of competitive NCAA Division I wrestling at Historically Black Colleges & Universities. After 26 years of Morgan's wrestling program being dropped, wrestling is back! It is our belief that other HBCUs will look to Morgan State University as a lighthouse and follow suit. Making this moment not only big for HBCUs but for the entire sport of wrestling. Today is about opening doors, creating opportunities, and laying down a foundation for future generations of wrestlers. We're witnessing the dawn of a new era in wrestling, one that embraces inclusivity and celebrates diversity. This is more than a comeback; it's a step forward for the sport, for HBCUs, and for the athletes who will follow in these footsteps. Special thanks to our board at HBCU Wrestling, our generous supporters Morgan State University and Coach Kenny Monday who all played vital roles in making today a reality.
