In the fall of 2003 <strong>Limestone</strong> College announced that it<br />

was expanding its athletic department to include<br />

intercollegiate <strong>wrestling</strong>. While other institutions were<br />

dropping the sport, <strong>Limestone</strong> saw the rising popularity<br />

of <strong>wrestling</strong> in the South and became just the second<br />

college in the State of South Carolina and the 40 th<br />

institution in the nation to offer NCAA Division II<br />

Wrestling.<br />

The College’s first move was to hire a head coach to<br />

build the program. Out of a talented pool of<br />

applicants, <strong>Limestone</strong> selected Ben Stehura to take on<br />

the job. Stehura had previously served as an assistant<br />

coach for Cleveland State University, a nationally<br />

ranked Division I program.<br />

Stehura immediately set about the unique task of recruiting an entire team. This was a tall order;<br />

however, Stehura was up to the challenge. “I want to build on the growing popularity of <strong>wrestling</strong> in<br />

the South in addition to the strong crop of athletes being developed in Ohio and Pennsylvania,”<br />

Stehura said. “The <strong>Limestone</strong> College campus really sells itself, and these kids have a chance to be a<br />

part of history. This inaugural team will be something to remember.”<br />

Stehura and his staff were expected to bring in 30 student-athletes; however, they have exceeded that<br />

mark by bringing together a team of 40 young, diverse student-athletes to form their inaugural<br />

<strong>wrestling</strong> team. The team will wrestle a tough schedule that Coach Stehura feels will prepare them<br />

for the Northeast Regional Championships with the hopes of qualifying for nationals.<br />

Stehura says, “The process of recruiting an entire team was daunting, but the results have exceeded<br />

all my expectations. I am very excited about the upcoming season. We will have some depth, which<br />

is unusual for a first year program” Stehura said. “This team has quality students, quality athletes,<br />

and quality people. I look to the experience and leadership of some of our transfer students to help<br />

guide our talented freshman class. I want this team to progress throughout the year and peak for the<br />

post season. With hard work and dedication this first year will be exciting and the team should be<br />

fun to watch.”<br />

125 lb: The 125 lb. weight class is highlighted by Brent Clausing (Miamisburg OH) and Ian<br />

Barker (Summerville, SC). Clausing, the team’s first signee, was a state place winner at<br />

Miamisburg High School, while Barker was a 3-time state champion and 4A Wrestler of the Year at<br />

Summerville High School. Alex Abbott (Cowpens, SC), John Harper (Walhalla, SC), and<br />

Matthew Ross (Chicago, IL) will<br />

also compete for time at 125 lb.<br />

<strong>Limestone</strong> Physical Education Center<br />

<strong>Limestone</strong> College made a major announcement in the summer of 2004. The College will build a new physical<br />

education center, expected to be completed early in the spring semester. The new facility will offer three<br />

classrooms, nine offices, locker rooms, Athletic Training Education facilities, a fitness center, and a <strong>wrestling</strong><br />

practice facility.<br />

Located on Thompson street near <strong>Limestone</strong> Springs, the facility will be the first new building on the <strong>Limestone</strong><br />

campus since the Timken Center was dedicated 30 years ago. The Physical Education facility will give <strong>Limestone</strong>’s<br />

Athletic Training Education Program the necessary space to meet accreditation standards of the American Medical<br />

Association’s Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs, which will allow <strong>Limestone</strong><br />

students to sit for the National Athletic Trainers Association Board of Certification Examination.<br />

In addition to the new Athletic Training facilities, the facility will also house a 3,900 square foot weight training<br />

facility which will be a great asset for <strong>Limestone</strong>’s approximately 350 varsity athletes as well as all other students,<br />

faculty, and staff. <strong>Limestone</strong>’s <strong>wrestling</strong> team, which begins competition in the 2004-2005 school year, will have a<br />

practice area in the new building, although the team will hold its matches in the Timken Center.<br />

The Timken Center, built in 1976, is the center of the <strong>Limestone</strong> Athletic Department, housing athletic offices,<br />

athletic training facilities, and classrooms. The Timken Center also houses <strong>Limestone</strong>’s basketball arena, a 1,500 seat<br />

facility that hosts men’s and women’s basketball games as well as volleyball and <strong>wrestling</strong> matches. <strong>Limestone</strong>’s<br />

junior Olympic sized pool is also located inside the Timken Center. Home to the Lady Saints Swimming Team, the<br />

pool features an 800 square foot observation balcony coupled with 2,500 square feet of deck space.<br />

Curtis Administration Building<br />

<strong>Limestone</strong> College was established in 1845 by Dr. Thomas Curtis and his son, Dr.<br />

William Curtis, distinguished scholars born and educated in England. <strong>Limestone</strong><br />

College was the first woman’s college in South Carolina and one of the first in the<br />

United States.<br />

In the late 1960s, <strong>Limestone</strong> College became fully coeducational. The campus is a<br />

unique combination of history and progress, with nine of our campus buildings<br />

included on the National Register of Historic Places.<br />

Since 1991, <strong>Limestone</strong> College has completed<br />

renovations of several of its historic campus structures:<br />

the Montgomery Classroom Building, Ebert Residence<br />

Hall, Carroll Fine Arts Building, Hamrick Hall of<br />

Science, Eunice Ford Residence Hall, and Dixie Lodge<br />

Student Center. While the College’s ties to the past are<br />

visible in the many historic structures, these renovated<br />

facilities now house the modern technology necessary to<br />

maintain <strong>Limestone</strong>’s reputation as an outstanding<br />

liberal arts college.<br />

Dixie Lodge<br />
