Highline Wrestling Awards
May 3, 2o12  
 (by Head Coach Scott Norton)

          This past Thursday, our team released the awards based on the 2011-12 Wrestling Season.  The team as a whole did well academically by finishing 2nd in the nation with a 3.31 team G.P.A.   [Note: in 2010-11 it was 3.28]. Micah Morrill who finished a match away from becoming an All-American was voted “Most Inspirational Wrestler.”  He is one of the most focused wrestlers prior to match time. 

          All-American Lucas Huyber was voted “Most Improved.”  He knocked off one of the top wrestlers in the country in the Region 18 finals.  Lucas was also given the “Dan Gable Award.”  He was the hardest worker in our room this past year.

          Unfortunately, we will be losing 2 x All-American Steven Romero.  Romero finished as a national runner up this year, but was ranked first all year.  In my opinion, he is the best 125 lb. wrestler in the country.  Steven was voted “Most Valuable Wrestler and Team Captain.”  He will be tough to replace, and greatly missed.

          All of these wrestlers did a great job.  I was very proud of the effort they put in this past season, as well as all their accomplishments.
  

Former Highline Wrestlers Make Impact

Aaron Smith and Darren Faber were both stellar wrestlers at Highline.  Smith was a 2 x All-American and ranked as high as 1st in the nation.  Faber finished last year with a solid 4th place finish.  Since then, Smith traveled all the way to American International in Boston, which is a division 2 school.  Aaron finished as an All-American this past weekend.  Smith is now a 3 x All-American, which is quite an impressive accomplishment. Faber chose a different route, by traveling to D-3 Wheaton college in Chicago, Illinois.  Darren had a fantastic season going 31-9.  He won the conference, and knocked off the #2 wrestler in the nation in the Regional tournament.  Faber did not All-American this year, but he will be in the hunt for a title next year.  Both were amazing athletes.  It’s terrific that they have moved on, and are still finding success.
