TakeDown Radio, Resilite, Sunflower Wrestling Supply, W.I.N. Magazine, and Intermat have been pleased to present the High School Wrestler of the Month Award.

We are even more pleased with the caliber of athletes and the number of submissions that were received. The gratitude generated by the recipients, as well as the accolades received from our listeners and the wrestling community as a whole has been tremendous.

Awards were presented across much of the country, included a wealth of diversity and experience, and ultimately served to enrich the lives and improve the prospects for the future for these gifted athletes, students, and citizens. Each month, the qualifications set forth for the award were clearly evident within each recipient and were based on the pillars of athletics, academics, and community.

Our current roster of model citizens and national award recipients and model citizens is as follows:

• Morgan McIntosh, Calvary Chapel High School; Santa Ana, Calif. (June 2009)
• Dillon Dennis, Northside Christian School; St. Petersburg, FL (May 2009)
• Brendan Ard, Watchung Hills High School; Warren, NJ (April 2009)
• Christian Schuler, Bentonville High School; Bentonville, AR (March 2009)
• Anna Cummings, Onondaga High School; Nedrow, NY (February 2009)
• Josh Chang, Mingus High School; Cottonwood, AZ (January 2009)
• Jacob Eisheid, Waukee High School; Waukee, IA (December 2008)
• Jordan Jones, North/Hoover High School; Des Moines, IA (November 2008)
• Dallas Bailey, Catoosa High School; Catoosa, OK (October 2008)
• Marshall Peppleman, Central Dauphin High School; Harrisburg, PA (September 2008)

In addition to the recognition and visibility generated through wrestling media for award winners, TakeDown Radio would like to thank the program sponsors for the physical awards (e.g. apparel, gift certificates, exclusive premiums, magazine subscriptions) presented to each recipient.

Without Resilite, Brute Adidas, Sunflower Wrestling Supply, W.I.N. Magazine, and Intermat, none of this would have been possible.

We look forward to continuing what has now become tradition well into the future. We want to encourage all wrestling coaches, families, and fans to submit information on deserving high school wrestlers they know.
