Purdue Wrestling Season Kickoff Update

Dear Purdue Wrestling Alumni & Supporters,

The 2025–2026 season is officially underway, and we’re off to a strong start! The team returned to West Lafayette on Monday after a successful two-dual swing through California, where we earned decisive wins against both Cal Poly and Cal State Bakersfield.

Preseason Victory Party

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in October for the Preseason Victory Party! It was an incredible evening of celebration and connection. With 160 attendees and nearly $20,000 raised, your support continues to fuel our momentum—thank you!

Gear Up with Compound Apparel

We’ve launched a brand-new Purdue Wrestling Gear store in partnership with Compound Apparel. It’s the perfect way to rep the team this season! The store closes on Sunday, November 16th, so don’t miss out.

Upcoming Competitions

Next up:

Tiger Style Invitational (Missouri): We’re sending 20 wrestlers to compete against top-tier talent.

These events are key opportunities for our athletes to test themselves and grow against some of the best in the country.

Thank you again for your unwavering support and belief in our vision. Let’s keep building together.
