Edinboro community builds champions with successful wrestling fundraiser

EDINBORO, Pa. – Edinboro University's Department of Athletics and the Fighting Scots wrestling team – in conjunction with the Office of University Advancement – recently wrapped up an effort to build champions on the wrestling mat, in the classroom and in the community.
 
Following a month-long campaign to support the wrestling team, Edinboro University raised $15,813 as a direct community investment in the academic growth of student-athletes. The funds from the Building Champions campaign will directly support the Athletics Scholarship Fund for current and future Fighting Scots.
 
Head Coach Matt Hill, who assumed the role in May 2018, said he is thankful for the support from the wrestling community and Edinboro alumni.
 
"These funds help our program thrive and grow through these challenging times," said Hill, who wrestling for Edinboro from 2003-2007. "We are extremely grateful for all the support and can't wait to get back on the wrestling mats this November for our fans and alumni."
 
Dr. Katherine Robbins, director of Edinboro Athletics, thanks donors and alumni for contributing to the fundraiser and committing to the success of student-athletes.
 
"You know well the level of time, commitment, discipline and hard work it takes to be a Division I wrestler, and our student-athletes simply could not do what it takes to compete at the highest level without your support," she said. "We are very excited about the future of Boro wrestling with you as a partner.  Together, the sky is the limit."
 
Fighting Scot wrestlers are part of a proud tradition of excellence, resilience and sportsmanship, and loyal financial supporters play a critical role in propelling that legacy forward.
 
Edinboro wrestling ended their 2020-2021 campaign with two student-athletes – Jacob Oliver (174 pounds) and Jon Spaulding (285 pounds) – earning a trip to the NCAA Championships.
 
Three additional student-athletes were recognized by the Mid-American Conference with spots on the 2020-2021 Wrestling Academic All-MAC Team of 84 athletes.
 
Grad students Matthew Dowler and Tyler Vath (Teacher Leaderships) earned a 3.8 and 3.44 GPA, respectively, while senior Derek Ciavarro (Individualized Studies) earned a 3.44 GPA.
 
This is the second successful fundraising campaign for Edinboro Athletics in 2021. In January, the department – in collaboration with student-athletes, employees, families and friends –wrapped up the 2020-2021 Friends & Family Fundraising campaign to raise money for the program.
 
Collectively, Fighting Scots raised more than $15,000 for student-athlete scholarships and opportunities on and off the field.
