Tel Parry has been named as the Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award winner for the state of Wyoming by the National Wrestling Hall of Fame (NWHOF). The award is sponsored by the Hyman Family “whose generous support and passion for the sport help ensure the continued recognition and development of wrestling’s next generation.” According to the information from the NWHOF website.

Parry recently became Star Valley’s first ever four-time state champion after ending his senior season with a title this past season. In his high school career for the Braves, Parry had an overall record of 172-11. He joins Josh Sainz from SVHS who won the award in 2006.

The Dave Schultz Award is named in honor of the Olympic and World champion who was tragically murdered in 1996.

“Each year, the Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award allows us to recognize young men who represent the very best of our sport,” said NWHOF Executive Director Lee Roy Smith. “This award honors not only their achievements on the mat, but also their commitment to academic excellence, leadership and service to others. In the spirit of Dave Schultz, these student-athletes exemplify the character, sportsmanship and dedication that define wrestling at its highest level, and we are proud to celebrate their accomplishments and the example they set for future generations.”

Parry is in the running for the West Region honor and if selected would be in contention for the national award which will be announced on April 27.
