Twentieth Annual "Hall of Fame Day" Banquet
October 29, 2023Embassy Suites, Charleston WV
Seven new members were inducted into the West Virginia Chapter, National Wrestling Hall of Fame on this cool, rainy afternoon at the end of October.
As always, the acceptance speeches were heartfelt and at times, emotional. The recipients expressed their appreciation to people who inspired them, the young athletes whom they coached and mentored, fellow coaches or officials, and most of all their familes.
Congratulations to this year's Class of 2023, AND their families, friends, and supporters!
