The wrestling team for Wauneta-Palisade is gearing up for a new season.

The team will be a combination of athletes from Wauneta-Palisade and Hitchcock County, due to low numbers of participants from each school.

Jesse West, a former state champion wrestler from WP, will again be the assistant coach.

The Wauneta team includes: senior Adam Simpson, juniors Marcos Ramirez, Carlos Ramirez, and Colby Skelton, sophomores Keagan Haarburg and David Acosta, and freshman Dawn Pinkal.

Dawn Pinkal will be the only girl from Wauneta-Palisade participating in wrestling this year and one girl from Hitchcock County will participate.

“Even though I’m the only girl out for wrestling in Wauneta, I still enjoy it. Hitchcock County also has another girl out for wrestling so I won’t feel so singled out. I hope this season goes good and all of us get at least one win if not more.” commented Dawn Pinkal.
