ABOUT THE MISSISSIPPI WRESTLING FOUNDATION
We exist because, until 2020, Mississippi was the only state in the United States that did not host a high school wrestling season. Our mission is to make Mississippi a better place by growing the sport of wrestling at every level, from youth to college. Journey with us to see just how that is happening.
