Wrestlers Recognized at Awards Ceremony

By Head Hawk Coach Derrick Tvedt

On March 16, the Hawk Wrestling team, parents, and supporting fans gathered to recap a successful season. During the season the Hawks had many accomplishments and brought home numerous awards. As a team, the Hawks brought home four teams trophies along with numerous individual awards for placing.

The Awards Night began with the coaching staff bragging about each individual wrestler. They talked about things such as Will (Streetbrawler) Page having a 27-11 record with 20 of those wins coming by pin, to lead the Hawks in pins. Chris (Gunner) Gnerer led his team in takedowns with 51, just three shy of the school record that he set last year. Micah (Hollywood) Mathieson was recognized by the coaching staff for his ability to lead a team through example of hard work and dedication (not to mention his own ability to win).

Special awards for the night went as follows: Chris Gnerer - Season Takedown Leader; Will Page - Most Inspirational Wrestler; Travis Quiroz - Most Improved Wrestler; Curtis Damm - BAGUBA Award (Brutally Aggressive Guy Uninhibited by Adversity); Micah Mathieson - MVP.
