AWARD WINNERS

MVP Award: This award is given each year to honor the individual who has demonstrated outstanding leadership and made the most significant statistical contributions to the W-H Panther Wrestling Team.

Coach's Award: This award is given each year to the W-H wrestler who believes that this team and program is greater than any one of its individuals; places sportsmanship ahead of wins and losses; and mentally, physically, and socially helps young men and women become better student-athletes.

Warren Holmberg Award: Given in memory of long time fan, scout, parent and Hall of Famer Warren Holmberg to the W-H wrestler who has demonstrated the most enthusiasm and pure love of the sport as did Warren Holmberg in his many years of support for the Panther Wrestlers.

Josh Constant Award: Given in honor of former W-H Wrestling captain Josh Constant to the W-H wrestler who has displayed courage, sportsmanship and dedication in the face of adversity. His perseverance and commitment are an inspiration, as was Josh Constant in his 4 years wrestling for the Panthers.

Most Improved Wrestler: This award is presented to the W-H wrestler who has demonstrated the most significant improvement from the previous year, or from the beginning to the end of this season and is a testament to what hard work and perseverance can achieve.

Special Recognition Award: This award is given on special occasions to honor significant contributions to the W-H wrestling program.
