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 beginning roster of national award recipients and model citizens went to;
* Marshall Peppleman- Central Dauphin High School- Harrisburg, PA (September 2008)
* Dallas Bailey- Catoosa High School- Catoosa, OK (October 2008)
* Jordan Jones- North/Hoover High School- Des Moines, IA (November 2008)
* Jacob Eisheid- Waukee High School- Waukee, IA (December 2008)
* Josh Chang- Mingus High School- Cottonwood, AZ (January 2009)
* Anna Cummings- Onondaga High School- Nedrow, NY (February 2009)
* Christian Schuler- Bentonville High School- Bentonville, AR
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. There are several ways to do so.
Printable PDF versions of the application are available at the W.I.N. Magazine and Intermat web sites. Link are provided here.

We feel truly privileged to have come to know each of these exceptional young men and women. It continues to prove to us that personal improvements that are a result of wrestling go way beyond the mat.
