ALUMNI / WJ COMMUNITY WRESTLERS WANTED! We need people who want to wrestle the members of the 2024-25 high school wrestling team! Wrestlers have been asking family members to wrestle them at this event, but some haven't been able to find anyone to take on that challenge. Coach Rogers is now opening it up to alumni or anyone in the community who wants to relive their glory days! If you think you have what it takes, please contact Coach Triston Rogers, Coach Ron Eliason, Coach Peter Fisher, or Coach Kristin Carpenter and let them know you want to sign up! (Feel free to tag people who you think would be great for this!) It should be a fun evening of entertainment, music, food (baked potato bar, baked goodies) and much more.
