Maclellan Gym Renovations Completed

| By:

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - The Chattanooga Mocs volleyball and wrestling teams have a new way to show the tradition of their programs at Maclellan Gym. Two new banners now hang on a newly constructed wall that went up in front of the concourse.

"The display on the wall inside Maclellan is a positive step in fulfilling the visions that Heath [Eslinger] and I have for the home of Chattanooga volleyball and wrestling," said head volleyball coach Travis Filar. "It allows the visitors to our home gym to see the rich tradition and success of the two programs."

Looking at the wall from the center court, a banner displaying the four volleyball tournament and two regular season titles is on the left. The primary mark of Chattanooga Athletics, the Power-C, is in the middle, while the banner on the right depicts the 27 SoCon wrestling championships.

"Obviously, this is the gym that we compete in and it is important to have a sense of pride in looking back at our past," said head wrestling coach Heath Eslinger. "This is a great way to honor and recognize those who have wrestled and our history."

The project finished on Thursday afternoon just in time for the Mocs volleyball team to show off the renovation at the Country Inns & Suites Invitational this weekend. Chattanooga plays East Tennessee State on Friday at 6 p.m. with the tournament kicking off earlier in the day at 11 a.m. The Mocs round out the event on Saturday with two matches against Tennessee Tech at 10 a.m. and UNC Asheville at 4 p.m.
