2020-2021 Portsmouth Abbey Wrestling Team

We are proud to be a member of the prestigious Eastern Independent League (EIL). The EIL provides student-athletes the opportunity for rigorous competition with schools of similar size and athletic philosophy.

Our wrestling program encourages students to reach their potential in the classroom as well as on the mats, and fosters a healthy respect for coaches, officials, opponents, and the game itself. Because wrestling demands an individual commitment to hard, physical work, we train our athletes in both physical and mental aspects of the game.

Many people have helped shape my life, but none like Coach Mike, he has prepared me for wrestling at Elmira College beyond my dreams. I leave the Abbey with 13 years of wrestling, and over the last 4 years a record of 136 Wins with 100 by Pin.

“Wrestling came into my life while I was just a freshman at the Abbey. I loved it: the adrenaline, tough work, and most of all, the camaraderie. Being a part of Abbey wrestling and serving as a captain of the team was an honor, and my Abbey career would not have been the same without it.”

Abbey Wrestling gave me so much…It taught me everything about self-control and discipline, patience and sportsmanship.  While it is technically an individual sport, I was never on the mat alone.
