1,173. NCAA WRESTLING IS BACK!

Pennsylvania, specifically, but also much of the Northeast, are hotbeds of wrestling activity, and many of the region’s top collegiate teams will converge on Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, for the 2025 edition of Journeymen Wranglemania.  

The event again will be held at Liberty High School, where wrestlers from 10 teams will battle across three mats Nov. 8 to help kick off the new campaign and an exciting weekend of collegiate wrestling.

For wrestling fans in the United States, all of the action from Journeymen Wranglemania 2025 will be broadcast live on FloWrestling and the FloSports app.

The full slate of participating programs includes Appalachian State, Duke, Hofstra, Indiana, Lehigh, Lock Haven, Long Island University, Rutgers, the University of Virginia and the U.S. Naval Academy.

In the preseason edition of the National Wrestling Coaches Association Coaches Poll, released on Oct. 29, Lehigh landed at No. 8, and Rutgers settled in at No. 15, while Indiana, Lock Haven and Navy all received votes. 

Eight of the teams at Wranglemania 2025 will get to face two other programs, while the two remaining squads will wrestle against one school each, but the trip won’t be wasted.

All 10 teams will venture to nearby Freedom High School, also in Bethlehem, to make up nearly half the field at the 21-team 2025 Journeymen Collegiate Classic on Nov. 9.

About Journeymen Wrestling

The Journeymen Wrestling Club was the brainchild of Frank Popolizio, now a member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame (2018).

Popolizio’s hope, when developing the concept in 1999, was to bring top-tier wrestling to upstate New York, while supporting and teaching the area’s up-and-coming amateur competitors. 

His efforts first brought Division I collegiate teams to the area, and it wasn’t long before Popolizio was able to introduce a youth program, plus camps and clinics that featured some of the sport’s top names as instructors and mentors.

Even as the Journeymen Wrestling Club continued to grow, host more events and spread its messages, Popolizio continued reaching the next generation of stars as a championship-winning high school coach in the Capital Region of upstate New York.
