    Southwest Virginia CC to add wrestling, other sports

    Southwest Virginia Community College is planning to offer a number of intercollegiate sports -- including wrestling -- beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, the two-year school located in Wardell, Va. announced Thursday.

    SWCC will field competitive scholarship teams in wrestling, baseball, basketball, softball, volleyball, golf, tennis, cross country and soccer.

    The school has signed a commitment letter to become part of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) which oversees intercollegiate sports at two-year colleges.

    Southwest Virginia has hired an athletic director, Jason Vencill, who told the Bristol Herald Courier that 2018 will be a recruiting year for the school's new NJCAA sports.

    Coaches are being hired and athletes being signed in anticipation of starting competition in August 2019.

    The college already has a number of facilities to accommodate these sports, including a full-size gymnasium, baseball and soccer fields, tennis courts and trails for cross country.

    Established in 1968, Southwest Virginia Community College is located in Richlands, Va.
