Ryan Bergman, UW-Oshkosh Men's Wrestling #WhyD3

April 7, 2025

What made you choose to go to a Division III school to compete in Wrestling?   

I chose division 3 because it gave me the best opportunity to compete and make an impact on a team right away.

What attracted you to choose to attend UW-Oshkosh?   

I chose UWO because of the team atmosphere I had on my visits as well as the PE program that they had.

What advice do you have for incoming high school students who are still looking at which university might be right for them?   

I would say it’s important to think about what you value most in your current sports situation, so you know what to look for when going on visits.

What are some of your favorite memories competing in Division III basketball and why you are thankful for the opportunity to continue your athletic journey at the DIII level?  

Some of my favorite memories are the bus rides with my teammates as well as getting to compete and seeing all my teammates cheering me on after a big win. I’m thankful to continuity athletic journey because of the love I have for wresting as well as the lifelong friendships I have made already.
