Very good news. Thank you for the information.

Hastings is in an excellent location too in terms of wrestlnig growth as it is between York and UNK just slightly south of I-80. With the addition of that program the GPAC (Naia conference)will have 7 of 13 teams with wrestling which makes it one of the larges (if not the largest) non D1 conferences for wrestling.

I sent their President a thank you note yesterday.

They are less than five hours from Kansas City according to a map search that I did yesterday.

Yea it takes me about 5 hours from Topeka to UNK (Kearney). Hastings will be a good spot for a wrestling program. Its always great news to hear of gaining a program rather then cutting one!
