Whitewater’s Johnny Gomez has been voted by his peers as the Wisconsin Wrestling Coaches Association District 6 Assistant Coach of the Year. This is an outstanding honor for Coach Gomez and an honor that is very well deserved.

Coach Gomez plays an integral role in the success of the entire wrestling program, just recently finishing up his 16th year as a coach for Whitewater Wrestling. In this time, the Whitewater program has consistently had good numbers which has helped lead to the success year in and year out. Coach has helped lead the team to many team championships including two regional championships. Coach Gomez does a wonderful job keeping up with the best technique for each individual student-athlete, aiding in their success.

Outside of the high school program Coach Gomez is a huge piece of the puzzle for the Mighty Whippets as well as the rest of the Whitewater Wrestling Club. He makes the sport of wrestling extremely fun for the young Whippets with the hope they will one day be putting their names on the Wall of Champions in the high school wrestling room.

Congratulations to Coach Gomez on a very well-deserved recognition.
