| Elko wrestling is alive and well. It was difficult losing a season, but we have a solid group of student athletes that met for a month of pre-season before cancellation. Some of my athletes wrestled matches in Utah and Idaho. I would like to thank Joe Imelli for the Summer Heat duals and all the local schools and participating teams from other states. My eighteen athletes wrestled around twenty matches a piece. It was encouraging to see mats down on a basketball court, and inspiring to witness the raw competition only wrestling can provide. |
| The future is bright for EHS wrestling. Due to the many renovations at Elko High, we are blessed to have our own wrestling space! I can hardly wait until the start of the 2021 season. |
| What a great time to be a wrestler. The Olympics provided some fireworks! With David Taylor’s come from behind victory for the gold medal, only to be topped by Gable Steveson’s amazing last thirteen seconds, Tamara Mensah-Stock’s dominating gold run, Grey and Snyder’s silvers, as well as, the numerous gutsy Bronze medal winners the wrestling community in the United States can be proud and inspired. |
| Moving forward is what wrestlers do. We all cannot wait to take to mats. No more stalling; it is time to toe the line! |
