Our history

Established in the early 1970s.

The Clarkston High School wrestling program was established in the early 1970s. Through the 1980s and 1990s the program became known for developing strong, technically skilled wrestlers, with an emphasis on discipline, technique and a family-like team culture.

Under coach Joe Lint in the 2000s the team began to consistently challenge for state titles. Today Clarkston's success is rooted in its youth programs, which feed the high school team and keep the sport alive in the community.

A wrestler doesn't decide to be good just by themselves. They need people behind them to support them.
