November 30, 2010. My Internet web host made some major changes and I had to rebuild this whole website. I hope this works.
December 2, 2010. The season is underway. A large crowd of fans watched W-F defeat Markesan by a score of 58 to 18. The coaches had the team looked well prepared for the first meet of the 2010-2011 season. The next action is the Little Chute Tournament on Saturday.
December 4, 2010. Little Chute Tournament. Two champions. Trevor Potratz won his first varsity tournament and Casey Haase won another in his string of tournament championships. Three wrestlers earned second place spots, Dylan Hansen, Jered Greutzmacher, and Ben Fox. Dylan and Jered both lost heart wrenchers in overtime after questionable referees calls. However, no gripping, both wrestlers will rebound for the next match. It was good to see all of the wrestlers wrestling hard until the very end of every match. This will be a good wrestling season.

November 29, 2012. The 2012-2013 W-F wrestling schedule can be found on the home page.
November 30, 2012. I added a new page with the Historical Fastest Pins from 2000-2001 to 2006-2007 seasons. I changed the opponents' names to just initials because I recently received an email from someone that got pinned quickly years ago. He said that everytime he applies for a job, the company Googles him and his name shows up as being pinned. I never considered the long term ramifications to wrestlers from the other teams. I sincerely apologize to him and all wrestlers that were named as being pinned quickly. Even though TrackWrestling and many newspaper websites have the same historical stats, apparently Google finds the information easier on this website. As wrestlers, most, if not all, of these wrestlers that lost have turned out to be decent and responsible adults. My apologies to the wrestlers from these other teams, their coaches, family, and fans. Good luck in the future.
Who were the four W-F wrestlers that pinned their respective opponents in 12 seconds?

Injuries, grades, and lack of participants defined this season, but the number of Freshmen gaining experience and the number of 8th Graders out for wrestling this year gives us hope for next year. Lift weights, climb ropes, run, and practice for next year. Also, don't forget to do your homework in school.
I have not kept the detailed records of the results of each tournament and dual meet this year because most are now available on www.TrackWrestling.com, CWC conference web site, and various news sources online. Thanks to Coach Potratz for providing summary results when requested. Thanks to the wrestlers for another good season. Only 8 1/2 months until the first dual next season.
