Todd Hibbs hired as Alma College wrestling coach.
“For Division 3, some of the best pickups we get are kids who are thinking about D-1, and it’s not until after the state meet when the Division 1 doesn’t come through, and it’s at that point they consider a Division 3 program,” Hibbs said. “Michigan used to have a dozen programs, and some are starting to come back. At the high school level, the number of athletes participating does not match the opportunity to wrestle at a college level.”
