Tech Fall Foundation to give financial endowment to coaches

In an effort to keep the 190 state’s top high school wrestling coaches and spark more coaching interest, the Tech Fall Foundation has been establishe­d to provided monetary endowments for coaches whose teams place in state tournament­s.

Endowments range from $1,000-$7,000 and will be awarded to the top four finishers. Coaches must also submit an applicatio­n by Oct. 25 each year.

“As a former wrestler, I can speak firsthand to the importance this sport has on developing both the physical and mental skills of young people,” endowment chair Chad Richison said. “Their coaches play an instrument­al role in their developmen­t, both on and off the mat. It is important that we maintain our edge and do what is necessary to keep our best coaching talent in the state and in the sport.”
