Through the years with Dalton Wenner...



State wrestling champion Dalton Wenner has been no stranger to local newspaper readers over the last 10 years or so:
2017 -- Dane (gold) , Darien and Dalton (bronze) Wenner medaled in the World Bible Quiz in Indianapolis. Parents: mat coach Dustin and Merrisa; Bible coach Esther King.
2019 -- Modest fourth at his weight in 11-12 division at Pa. Junior Wrestling tourney at Pitt... He developed into a three-time regional and four-time district champion and four-time state place-winner in high school.
2021 -- 97-pound state title (junior high division), Keystone Games.
2025-26 -- 150-plus varsity mat victories celebrated by family and friends. Career total: 161-25.
And, don't forget: Dalton also stars as a distance runner for the Berries' cross country and track teams (shown here in 2022) and in golf. He's a KSAC all-star in all three. He's also been known to make the honor roll.
