Besides the charts that are in this guide, there are two other main sources of information available for your use. At last weekend’s District competition, each state qualifier was given a media form to fill out. While not all were returned, a vast majority were. Should you need to use these forms, please contact one of the OHSAA representatives along media row. The other resource available is the complete list of every state placer from 1938-2012. The last three years (2010, 2011 and 2012) state placers can be found in this media guide. Earlier state placers are available from one of the OHSAA assistants working on media row. If you know of any corrections, please let us know. Note that wrestlers are listed by the school name at the time they attended (i.e. Kettering Fairmont East/West). However, if the school changed mailing addresses (i.e. Dayton Wayne to Huber Heights Wayne) then the school is listed by its new location. Schools that have added to their name, because of an additional school being built (i.e. Pickerington Central/North) are listed according to what the school is currently called.

His 4 sons all qualified or placed at the state tournament & all of them coach today and are men of integrity-promise keepers. His wife Shelley is a great support to Coach Lee’s passion for wrestling and is his most welcomed distraction, and cannot imagine life without her. Rare is any coach who owes no debt to his mentors. I owe more than most. Thank you to Joe Szymczak for intro- ducing me to wrestling. Thank you dad for not letting me quit and supporting me from day one. Thank you Bill McGrain for mentoring me and to all my assistant coaches that helped to make a difference in young men’s lives. Thank you Elmwood HS for allowing me to coach some of the finest student athletes in the best and oldest sport known to man. Coach Lee’s philosophy for his wrestlers has always been, “be a hammer on the mat and a gentleman off the mat”. Coach Lee wants all his wrestlers to be “assets to soci- ety.” OHSWCA Service Award Winner Jack Kruse Jack Kruse is currently finishing his 38th year of teaching at Gahanna Lincoln High School.
