2022-2023 Athletic Updates
The Poudre School District Athletic Department is excited to announce changes to Middle School athletic programming beginning in the fall of 2022.
Changes:
- 6th graders will now have opportunities to compete in all individual sports. This includes cross country, golf, track, as well as the additions of tennis and wrestling.
- Football, Basketball, and Volleyball will be moving to a mixed-grade Varsity/JV/C/C-team model as opposed to 7th and 8th grade teams (as currently constructed). Softball, and all individual sports referenced above are currently operating under the Varsity/JV/C/C-team model.
Rationale:
- Increased number of athletic opportunities for 6th grade students.
-
Allows athletes to compete and receive instruction at the appropriate level, regardless of grade.
-
Provides flexibility for those schools with extremely high/low participation numbers.
-
Creates one consistent competitive model across all sports within the PSD Middle School Athletic League.
-
Sub-Varsity competition opportunities will be increased.
- Total program roster size will be increased in basketball and volleyball.

The Lesher Viking Wrestling team, led by Head Coach Matthew Moeller and assistant coaches Orth, Moore, Agnew, Ritter and Oldenburg, have dominated PSD wrestling in the past 6 years winning 5 of 6 District Wrestling titles! Our athletes show resilience and grit, win with humility and lose with grace, and consistently walk with positive character as part of Lesher Middle School’s CHAMP School of Character focus. We have had, on average, 10 top 4 wrestlers from the 16 weight classes each year! When a student wins 1st place/District Athletic Title in an individual sport at Lesher they get their picture on our Wall of Champions, and teams are commemorated with their team picture on our Wall of Champions, we add a year to the team championship banner in the main gym, give each team member a championship t-shirt, and recognize the team at a whole school pep assembly! Way to go grapplers and Go Vikings!
