Two Delaware State University athletes competed on the opening day of what officials are calling a groundbreaking moment for collegiate athletics.
Icart Galumette and Louise Juitt represented the Hornets as women’s wrestling held its inaugural NCAA National Championship tournament in Carolville, Iowa on Thursday.
The competition represents a significant milestone for female wrestlers across the country, as it marks the first time the NCAA has officially sanctioned a national championship event for women’s wrestling at the collegiate level.
Both Galumette and Juitt took to the mats as part of the historic field of competitors vying for national titles in their respective weight classes.
The championship tournament continues as Delaware State’s wrestling program looks to make its mark on this landmark event in women’s collegiate athletics.
