Camp Grant Recipient: Jacob Wilcox
“I never got to meet Coach Barron myself, but I get to experience the legendary program he built. Wrestling for Columbine and being able to be a part of Barron's Boys is an honor that is helping build me into a great wrestler and an even greater person by teaching me to work through anything and everything with strength and honor.”
2021 Camp Grant Recipient: Naethan Tagawa
“I was able to wrestle for Coach Barron in eighth grade. I was honored to wrestle for such a great coach. He pushed me to my limits every time I stepped on the mat, and that made me a much better wrestler.”
2021 Camp Grant Recipient: Darrell Miller
“To me, wrestling is more than just a sport, and it has taught me more than wrestling. Thanks to the coaches, I’ve been able to achieve things I never thought I would be able to. Not only have I become a good wrestler, but I have also become a good young man.”
2021 Camp Grant Recipient: Corbin Purdum
“The very first time I met Coach Barron at a Duke wrestling camp [at Cherry Creek High School], my wrestling shoes were old and hanging open completely. Without hesitation Coach Barron took his shoes off his feet and let me use them for the entire camp.
2021 Camp Grant Recipient: Jackson White
To kick off the 2021 nomination and application season, the RBS&HF elected to offer $250 grants to be used toward fees for wrestling camps. The board elected to focus on the three high schools in Colorado where Coach Barron led teams—Fort Lupton High School in Fort Lupton and Heritage and Columbine High Schools in Littleton. We asked each wrestler to submit a short note about what wrestling means to them and how it’s been an asset to their lives. Here’s a message from Jackson White of Heritage High School.
