Earlham High School re-established its wrestling program in 2021. In just three years, the team has grown from 8 athletes to a 20-member boys’ team and a 5-member girls’ program. This rapid growth has come with impressive achievements: in 2024, the team placed 16th in the state at the Individual State Championships and competed in the regional duals, finishing 2nd, narrowly missing a state duals championship berth. They also claimed the title at the West Central Conference Championships. Over this short period, Earlham wrestlers have earned 11 state qualifiers and produced three state place-winners.
Before its revival, Earlham's wrestling program had a rich history. It initially ran from 1980-1987, then resumed from 2000-2004. In between, Earlham joined with Dexfield in the ‘90s and later with West Central Valley from 2004-2009. Most recently, the team consolidated with Van Meter until deciding to re-establish its own program.
