Glad you brought this up.  Makes qualifying or AA’ing at D3, D2, or D1 all that more impressive for those that graduated high school in 2021 or after.  They have had to deal with this extra Covid year their entire college careers if they were not red-shirted.

No one wants to go out like that, but yet it happens none the less.  The metal of a man is how you come back from these unexpected setbacks and where you take things afterward. There is always more to come in life than your time on the mat.  To all those ending their season earlier than a state title I hope you can one day see the benefits wrestling has given you beyond the final result. The true benefits of wrestling will always be more than just a state title.  For Logan, and the rest, please try to measure the journey as a whole rather than just dwelling on the final match.  The entire journey is what you will truly cherish and what will really impact the people you interact with  in your life. Embrace the wrestling journey which only a few in life were willing to ever take.  

It’s been a pleasure as a fan to watch you. I want to thank you for what you’ve contributed to Indiana wrestling and want to remind you that you are still a champion day in and day out regardless of how this season may have ended for you. You’ve got some of the greatest coaches in your corner who I know do a great job in not only making great wrestlers, but helping mold fine young men for society to have. So, I know without a doubt you’ll be one of those people we see down the line doing great things in life. I wish you the best and absolute good fortune in your next steps.

I love to see communities supporting high school athletes, especially wrestlers. The town of Chesterton has a great history of doing this. I’d love to see how other communities are celebrating their wrestlers. Please post pics for all of us to enjoy as we head into the state series. 

Very sorry to hear this news a few days ago😞.  Seemed like Will was part of the Chesterton Team during the offseason - hanging with our group of Seniors that graduated this year @ many tournaments.  He was a pleasure to be around and will definitely be remembered.  Chesterton Wrestling sends Prayers to his family.
