Golden Halo Award
The dedication it takes to become a champion on the wrestling mat goes way further than the time spent during wrestling practice. That is why we have decided to challenge the Madison high school wrestlers to do something special during the off-season. The reward is no high dollar contract or scholarship to a DI school but the fact that you will have accomplished something that very few will be able to do and a special headgear. This award will attempt to challenge you to work hard in the off-season and become ready to wrestle for MHS. The coaching staff has put together a series of tests for you to accomplish in order to earn this award. As you pass each individual test (with a coach present), we will check that test off the sheet and you will be one step closer to the Golden Halo and the satisfaction of completing the Golden Halo Challenge. Below is the list of challenges that will be placed before you. You may attempt to pass these challenges as many times as necessary.
