Elementary Wrestling Program

This week, 60 elementary boys and girls competed in their final match of the 4th annual Walla Walla Public Schools Elementary School (4th & 5th Grade) Wrestling Program. Students practiced two or three times a week during the three week program.

“We believe in providing positive opportunities for our community youth and appreciate our coaches for sacrificing their time for others,” said Coach Jacob Butenhoff. “This support ensured every 4th and 5th grade student had an opportunity to enhance their overall educational and life experience. It was impressive seeing so many people in the stands.”

Butenhoff is also involved in the Walla Walla Wrestling Club for boys and girls ages 5-15. The club competes in the Oregon Wrestling Association for Youth. The experience includes multiple practices each week and Saturday tournaments. To learn more, contact Butenhoff at 509.521.0068 or jabutenhoff@wwps.org.
