WHS Pentathlon winners! Thank you to all the schools that came out today.

Man I’m proud of this team. While we always aim for team titles, we had 7 All- Americans. Our guys fought their tails off. More importantly this team stayed resilient, blocked out the noise, and kept showing up to compete. Gonna miss the seniors and thankful I could help at all.

Happy Birthday, Annie!

GAC Awards: Nakai 1st Team Colin 2nd Team Demetrius 2nd Team Andrew Sportsmanship Award Congrats guys, well deserved!

College wrestling is tough, regardless of division. Zach Glazier is a Big 10 Champ with a tight loss to Aaron Brooks. Didn’t win D2 nationals. I also watched a PA state champ and Cornell transfer miss the podium at D3 nationals today.

What a post season for our former Blue Jays competing in college now! Women's NCAA ALL AMERICAN, WOMEN'S NAIA ALL AMERICAN, MENS DII TEAM TROPHY!

Congratulations to former Blue Jay Maggie Ortmann!

Today over 100 volunteers come together at the Alliant Energy PowerHouse for the 2026 NCAA DIII Wrestling Championship. They all volunteer with one simple goal - provide a "Championship" Experience!! #Let'sGo!!

Just like that, history has been made again. Congratulations to Maggie Ortmann! Maggie gets the fall to secure and NAIA All American spot on the podium!!!!

May be the most difficult hurdle for a wrestler to clear—trusting that the same offense that built the lead is what protects it. The instinct is to protect the lead, but the approach that creates better odds, less regret, and is simply more logical is to keep wrestling the same way that created the lead. Stay on the attack, stay in position, and keep applying pressure. The one who needs to change and create opportunity is the opponent who is losing. So why would you go ahead and assist them in this by back peddling and lead protecting, opening up two windows that weren’t there before? 1 – Stall points 2 – Allowing your opponent to solely focus on their offense as they no longer have to respect your attacks. You hear wrestlers in post-match interviews “We do this all the time in the room! Down 2 with 30 seconds left and working to find a takedown.” Not so much the opposite… “up 2 with 30 seconds left and just have to find ways to back up to protect the lead!” So why resort to something you don’t practice in the most crucial moments of a match—or your season? This is from the excellent series “The Climb” by Stilly Boys on YouTube — a segment from Episode 2: Road to the Big 12s.

Congratulations, Gable! KLPW - Taco Bell Athlete of the week klpw.com
