I would also like to thank our coaches who have helped and/or helping in getting these kids ready for this competition: Coaches – Lee Weber, Kyle Kiss, Brian Luton, Colton Rapp, Dave Reinsel, Dylan Reinsel, Keith Martz, Braun Gourley, Rob Powell, and Mike Hindman.

I can’t forget the 48 young wrestlers who participated in our Elementary program this year. I witnessed a lot of good, hard working kids try out and had some success. Keep at it guys and hopefully see you next year.
