Jenks head coach Dustin Hughes continues to build the Jenks wrestling program back to the standards set by former coach Ray Weis. Hughes, a former standout wrestler and baseball player at Jenks, does return some talent to the wrestling room this year.
Carson Reich wrestled his way into the state tournament last year at 113-pounds and is expected to wrestle at 120-pounds in 2023. Owrestle.com has Reich ranked as an honorable mention at 120 in Class 6A.
Jenks will look to a few underclassmen this season for help in duals, but overall the program is on the rise and the numbers are up in the youth program.
