Season Notes:

"Top Guns" 1986-1987.... Head Coach Jeff Hauser and Assistant Coach Mark Helgeson managed this group of high flyers to a 7 and 5 record, with some big wins over tough opponents. More research is needed to be done with this group, but we do know they went 2 and 1 in the Norse triple duel against the tough teams of that era in Luther, West Salem, and Royall. They also earned a respectable 4th place finish at the big West Salem Panther Invitational. This team boasted a full line up top to bottom in the weight classes. Several first year senior wrestlers came out this season to help out this young team.

Pete Foss got the farthest for the Norse qualifying for sectionals by taking a 2nd place finish at regionals. Notable performances this season came from Fred Gardner, Gary Austin, and Jeff Herried (HWT) who were .500 or better wrestlers. Herried and Austin placed 3rd at regionals nearly punching their tickets to sectionals. First year senior wrestlers, Kevin Kulig (#155) and Keith Schaefer (#185); strong and dangerous, came out and protected the line-up in the duels. Other tough Junior performers Aaron Passa and Brian Gabriel along with talented Sophomores Dan Guse, Keith Schaefer and Dan Keenan were also consistent performers for Coach Hauser. Dan Keenan had a shoulder injury that cut his very promising career short. The full squad of Freshmen and Sophomore wrestlers of this season will become our top performers in just a few years.

The great Wrestling Cheerleaders this season were Jill Thompson, Lori Feltes, Renae Helstad, Dawn Johnson, and Sondra Haug.

This was a very solid Norse team... tough to beat... proud to carry the mantle for the Program.
