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 />

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

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

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 />
