Pacific University, a small liberal arts school in Forest Grove, Ore., located 20 miles west of Portland, has developed a women's wrestling program.    The Pacific wrestling team, under Head Coach Frank Johnson, had two women participating with their men's team last year. The wrestling program has generated outside funding to run an extensive women's schedule for 2001-02 season and has begun to recruit women student-athlete wrestlers to attend the university.    The women's competition schedule is not yet finalized, but is expected to include some of the following competitions: Sunkist International Open (Phoenix, Ariz.), Clansman International Open (Vancouver, Canada), Oregon Classic, USGWA Can-Am Championships (Detroit, Mich.), U.S. National Open (Las Vegas, Nev.) and the Dave Schultz Memorial International Open (Colorado Springs, Colo).    Johnson indicated that Pacific University has a long standing tradition of excellence in both wrestling and academics.  The men's teams have placed in the top 10 at nationals 12 times and has featured more than 60 All-Americans.    "We expect our women's team to experience the same kind of success as our men," said coach Johnson. "In the 2000-01 season, we had two women who trained with our men; one of them qualified for the final Women's World Team Trials, as a result of her performance in Las Vegas. Next season we anticipate having enough women to run separate training sessions, so we can sharpen the women's focus on freestyle."    The Pacific University wrestling program has made international cultural exchange a regular component its wrestling experience. The university has sent its wrestling athletes to more than 30 countries over the past 25 years. Johnson expect to expand this program to include the women wrestlers as well.     On the academic side, Pacific University is recognized by Baron's and US News & World Report as one of the top schools in the West.

He encourages potential student-athletes to contact him with any questions about the new women's wrestling opportunity, as well as the university.
