We are pleased to announce that once again Ron Marhofer Chevrolet is sponsoring this year’s tournament, which features over 100 schools from 25 different states. We are very grateful to The Ron Marhofer Auto Family for his continued support. On behalf of Walsh Jesuit High School President Karl Ertle, and Principal Mark Hassman, I extend a warm welcome to the many coaches, wrestlers and wrestling fans that have come to support their teams. Welcome also to collegiate coaches who will attend this event –you will see some of the best wrestlers in the United States this weekend! The Walsh Jesuit Warrior wrestling team looks forward to hosting this event and to making certain the event is memorable for all of you. The Ironman Tournament is a collaborative effort of our entire school community and is successful largely because of the efforts of our faculty, staff, coaches, students, parents, and alumni who willingly volunteer their time, treasure, and talents. Special acknowledgement and thanks to team director and seeding director Corey Haddad and our high powered technical staff of Chris Kallai, Sr. and Chris Kallai, Jr. for their expertise and tireless efforts to make this tournament that Sports Illustrated has called “ the toughest high school tournament in the nation.” Special thanks also to Walsh Jesuit tournament coordinator Bill Reilly, and to John Mascio who manages and oversees the publication of our Ironman Media Guide and Record Book. Finally, we acknowledge and thank Walsh Jesuit trainer Mark Herbele and his staff, plus the staff from Akron General Sports and Physical Therapy for their professionalism and care for our athletes. Please enjoy yourselves this weekend. This is some of the best wrestling you will ever see. Please remember to “RESPECT THE GAME” and show good sportsmanship to all athletes, coaches, and officials. GOOD LUCK to all wrestlers.
