Why Does Life U Need a Dedicated Facility? • Currently, student-athletes must go off campus for practice, which is unrealistic given current roster sizes. • Wrestlers need more mat time. With the men’s and women’s program having a combined roster of nearly 100 wrestlers by next year, access to a mat between 6:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. is important. Due to class schedules, coaches arrange individual and makeup sessions for student-athletes when class schedules permit. • A dedicated facility is integral to recruiting student-athletes. The Mid-South Conference is the top wrestling conference in the country. Life U is the only university without a dedicated wrestling facility. The University fights for the same recruits, and facilities are important to potential student-athletes.

What made the bond was the countless number of hours we all spent in the wrestling room. But wrestling is only half of our experience at Life University, and this team helps each other strive for success in everything we do.” — Jennifer Juarez 2018 WCWA All-American & Conference Champion “Wrestling at Life University has given me the opportunity to become a better version of myself. It feels good to know that I’m a part of a wrestling family that has the same vision as me.” —  Nosomy Pozo 2018 NAIA All-American & National Champion • Cost-effective, environmentally-friendly construction Financial Goals Total Facility Cost = $150,000 Giving Levels $1-$999 Running Eagle $5,000 Champion $1,000 All-American $10,000 MVP $25,000 Hall of Fame Wrestling Room Naming Rights Alumni.LIFE.edu | 2018 55
