RCHS girls wrestling team was in action tonight at Abilene.
The Falcon Scholars Bowl team competed at Wabaunsee this evening. The team went 1-7 but had a couple of close matches.
The December Glavan Ford Student-Athlete of the Month is Kaden Gutsch. Kaden is the son of Curtis and Erin Gutsch; he has a GPA of 3.95 and participates in Cross Country, Wrestling, and Track teams. He is also a member of the Student Council and the chess team. Kaden plans to attend Concordia University to wrestle.
Here is what his coaches had to say: “Kaden, is the perfect example of what a student-athlete is! He is focused on his grades and his sport. He is disciplined, hardworking, and dedicated. His leadership in the wrestling room is unprecedented. He pushes everyone in the room to be the best version of themselves. He has a high standard, and he makes everyone around him rise to that standard.”
“Kaden is a fantastic example of what you want a student-athlete to be. He takes his studies seriously and is an absolute competitor in anything he does. He was always one of the hardest workers in the room and continually found ways to encourage everyone else on the team. He was a true leader and would put anyone's needs above his own. A coach always hopes to have someone like him on their team and I was lucky enough for this to be the case for me. I cannot say enough great things about who Kaden is as a representation of Riley County High School."
