Box Elder High School's wrestling success can be attributed in part to the guidance and mentorship of its dedicated coaches. For many years, the program was under the leadership of Coach Mike Ripplinger, a true legend in the world of high school wrestling. Coach Ripplinger's expertise, passion for the sport, and commitment to his athletes were instrumental in shaping the team's legacy. His influence on the wrestlers extended far beyond the mat, instilling in them values of discipline, perseverance, and teamwork.

In recent times, the torch of leadership was passed on to the capable hands of Coach Jed Craner. Under Coach Craner's stewardship, the wrestling program has continued to thrive and evolve. The commitment to building on the foundation established by Coach Ripplinger have led to ongoing success for the team. Coach Craner's dedication to the development of his athletes, both as wrestlers and as individuals, is evident in their continued achievements.

The transition from Coach Ripplinger to Coach Craner symbolizes the program's ability to adapt while preserving its core values. This seamless handover showcases the deep respect and camaraderie that exists within the Box Elder wrestling community. It is a testament to the program's enduring strength and its commitment to nurturing the next generation of talented wrestlers.
