Keaton Taylor (Silver Lake, KS), Matt Mueller (Malcolm, NE), and Kendall Burke (Raymore, MO) have committed to the Viking wrestling program. "These three young men epitomize what we are looking for in a student-athlete," said head coach, Richard Fergola.
Keaton Taylor comes from a storied program at Silver Lake High School in Silver Lake, KS. Taylor recently won a state championship in football for the Eagles and will now vie for an individual state wrestling title in Class 3-2-1A. Taylor is a three-time state place-winner for Head Coach Harry Lamar and the Eagles, placing 4th, 6th and 4th respectively. Taylor most importantly carries over a 3.5 G.P.A. Taylor will compete at 133 or 141 for the Vikings.
Matt Mueller is a native Nebraskan competing out of Malcolm High School in Malcolm, NE. Mueller is a Nebraska state qualifier, but is yet another high academic student/athlete with a perfect 4.0 G.P.A. Mueller will major in Sports Management at Dana College and compete at 157.
Finally, hailing from Ray-Pec High School in Peculiar, MO is Kendall Burke. Burke is another two sport athlete that was part of a state championship football team this season and will be looking for his third individual state wrestling title claiming the championship in 2006 and 2005. Burke is currently ranked No. 19 among the nation's top seniors as rated by Wrestling USA magazine and is a Top 200 recruit as rated by Intermat. Burke will compete at 149 or 157 for the Vikings.
"These three young men will add tremendous talent and work ethic to our institution as well as our wrestling program," said head coach Richard Fergola. I am very excited to have them become part of our program and look forward to outstanding things from them."
