Barton Community College will add wrestling to its list of sports in 2015-2016, a decision made official at Thursday’s Board of Trustees meeting. Board members also learned that Barton has landed a five-year contract with the Kansas Department of Agriculture – Weights and Measurements Division to offer training for scales technicians.
As discussed at the Oct. 9 board study session, the addition of a wrestling program has the potential of increasing on-campus enrollment by 30-40 students. A number of Kansas community colleges already have wrestling programs and a couple of others are considering the addition of the sport.
Trustee Don Learned said he’s lost count of the number of phone calls he’s received about this topic.
“People say it’s a great idea,” Learned said. “I think the community is really behind this.”
Trustee Mike Minton added, “I think it’s a great idea.” He asked Barton President Dr. Carl Heilman for assurances that other sports programs won’t see their budgets reduced to make room for wrestling.
“We want quality teams,” he said. “We can’t take away from other programs.”
Heilman reminded trustees that startup costs were included in this year’s budget. After the initial expenses, the program's revenues are expected to exceed its costs around Year 2. “We did not reduced the operations of other athletic programs in putting this forward.”

Sure wish Butler County & Hutch would pick up a wrestling programs. No reason not to now that several in state Juco's now have programs. These are two of the biggest local Juco's and they would be flush with local talent.


Fortune assists the daring.

I went to Cowley County in '91, and they were talking about adding wrestling. Talk about having local talent. Pull from Ark City, Winfield, Ponca City, Blackwell, etc. Still waiting . . . . . .
