Cowboy Wrestling
The goal of the Athletics Vision Plan is to strengthen its position within the national landscape of college athletics by creating a framework for the near and long-term development of the Athletics Village at Oklahoma State University. New facilities have been strategically located to avoid disruption of competitions or the hosting of Big 12, regional or national championships.
The plan focuses on improving the success of the student-athletes and the experience of fans, and the University’s ability to attract student-athletes across all programs through the creation of a unified and connected Athletic Village, which will be implemented as financial resources become available.
Cowboy Wrestling is the most successful program in the history of the NCAA, regardless of sport. Entering the 2022-23 academic year, Oklahoma State wrestling had won 34 team national championships, 143 individual NCAA championships and had 475 All-Americans. The plan proposes an addition to the existing facility, which would support the ongoing success of OSU Wrestling.
While the program recently received an upgrade to its locker room, additional space is needed to sustain the success of the program.
This addition will increase the size of the wrestling room, allowing for additional mat space and championship-level team amenities. While the team will always compete inside the famous Gallagher-Iba Arena, the training facility will feature a dedicated space for spectators that will enhance recruiting and donor visits. This training facility will also house office and meeting spaces for the coaching staff.
