Panorama-Panthers-Picture11

A familiar face will greet the wrestlers at Panorama Community Schools later today when the first preseason practice takes place. Jason Kirtley is once again back as the varsity head coach of the Panthers, starting his 11th season. Kirtley’s leadership helped the Panorama Panthers varsity wrestling program produce a memorable campaign last winter, winning 20 duals overall and having five wrestlers stand on the podium at February’s 2018 Iowa State Wrestling tournament in Des Moines. Four of the medalist graduated including Danny Nordquist, Gunnar Grunsted, Trevor Carey, and Dalton Holmes. The Raccoon Valley Radio will have a season preview interview with Kirtley on the next Wahl McAtee Tire and Service Center Guthrie County PM Sports Page, tonight at 6 p.m. on True Country K 107.9.
