Gabe Schumacher:

My name is Gabe Schumacher and I am a senior at Minnetonka High School and I really enjoy the sport of wrestling. I have been wrestling since I was in 5th grade.  I have been wrestling for the high school team since 8th grade. It has taught me to endure and overcome and to never give up. I love the atmosphere around the sport and the people in it.  After high school, I plan on moving back to the family farm in Southern Minnesota. My goal for the Minnetonka Wrestling Team is to win the section and be able to compete in the State Tournament together. My individual goal is to place high on the podium at the Individual State Tournament.

Quinn Sell:

Quinn Sell is a senior at Minnetonka High School and started wrestling when he was in 5th grade. This will be his 5th year wrestling on the varsity team for Minnetonka. What Quinn likes about wrestling is that it not only measures your success as a team but also as an individual. Wrestling has taught Quinn the values of working hard, staying focused, and being goal-oriented. Wrestling also inspired Quinn at a young age to go into other sports like Football and Rugby. Quinn’s favorite memories with the team is going to the state tournament and hanging out with all his teammates. Team Goal: Go to the state tournament and have a winning duel record Individual goal: Place at the state tournament. Quinn is planning on going to college next year but has not decided on a major. Advice for future tonka wrestlers: Keep your chin up and focus on getting better.

Gabe Schumacher's favorite memory is going with the team for the first time to the Iron Sharpens Iron Camp in Iowa the summer before 8th grade when he went with his older brother Caleb who was a senior captain.  He got to know the team really well and he made a lot of friends that he still has to this day.

Quinn Sell's favorite memory from wrestling is hanging out at the state tournament with my friends

My favorite memory of Blake wrestling is not just watching him to win and lose gracefully, but watching Blake support his teammates. Blake is always just as excited for his teammates to win a match as he is to win his own match!

Jake McSpedon 's favorite wrestling memory is going to the Wisconsin tournament.

Ethan Sandom's favorite memory was the Arcadia trips! 

Alex Shanesy's favorite memory was at the summer wresting camp between his 8th and 9th-grade years and sleeping on a queen bed, like sardines with Blake and Gabe.

Dalton's favorite memory: Lost a match to someone in a tournament, won the next match, and re-matched the kid I lost to originally, who I was able to beat to secure 3rd place

My favorite memory is just spending time with the guys.

Tonka Wrestling participates in the ISI Team Wrestling Camp in June.  This team camp is a highlight for many past wrestlers and highly recommended.  Registration will include transportation and lodging.  More details will be communicated soon. 

Due to COVID-19, we are unsure of the 2021 State Tournament.  Check back for updates.

Minnetonka High School offers suite tickets to the MSHSL State Wrestling Tournament each year. The suite is a Minnetonka tradition that helps build camaraderie between all levels of Minnetonka wrestling along with friends and family. The suite offers a more private experience with seats and tables above the mat action.
