Justin Schuelke

Assistant Youth Coach / Youth Tournament Director

Hello my name is Justin Schuelke and I’m excited to be able to help out with the youth wrestling. I have two boys in the program Lincoln (5th grade) and Harrison (3rd grade).

A little on my background is I wrestled in youth and High School for the Marshall Tigers. I graduated in 2002 during which I was happy to make it to the State Wrestling Tournament my senior year. Coaching I have assisted with Sartell, Big Lake, and Marshall youth wrestling.

I can’t wait for the season to start and am excited to see all the kids accomplish their goals. Wrestling is one of the hardest sports, but also one of the most rewarding. It’s a roller coaster with ups and downs but in the end, it’s an awesome ride. Love the Fight and Keep Wrestling!
