Freeman had an excellent career as both a wrestler and as a high school coach. At Davenport High School (IA) he contributed to the team championship in 1956 with a 2nd place finish at 120 pounds. Freeman went on to be a two-time All-American at Iowa State Teachers College (now University of Northern Iowa), placing second in the nation as a senior in 1962 at 123 pounds. Freeman served 29 years as a high school head coach, the last 27 at Bettendorf, Iowa, where he consistently produced strong teams and won state team titles in 1982 and 1983.
Krueger is the head wrestling coach at Denver-Tripoli High School and his Titans are currently ranked third in the state in class 2A with a dual meet record of 22-5. Denver-Tripoli has emerged as a consistent challenger for state individual and team championships over the last several years. The Titans have six ranked wrestlers including top rated juniors Levi Wolfensperger (119) and Blake Sorenson (145).
