The Panorama boys head wrestling coach, Tyler Prussing, resigned from his post, citing personal reasons.

“We wish him the best in the future. Our priority right now is entirely on our wrestlers and ensuring they have a positive, successful experience for the remainder of the season,” Panorama Activities Director Bruce Dahlhauser said.

This was Prussing’s first year in charge of the program. Assistant Coach Cooper Anderson will take charge of the Panthers, and volunteer coach Jon Shaffer is now assistant coach.
