Last week, after Gunner Rodgers and Weston Fantz lost their final matches at Sectional wrestling in Decorah, NFV head coach Jacob Pedersen stated, “There are some things that we can tweak; if the kids listen and remember, we can do some things at Districts.”

  Well, the kids did listen and remember. Saturday in Independence, the TigerHawk duo punched their tickets to the State Wrestling Meet in Des Moines this week by throwing the grapplers they lost to the week before.

Every year, each of Iowa’s six congressional representatives get to invite one guest to the State of the Union address. 

This year, West Union resident Jesse Wegner was one of the six lucky Iowans asked to attend the speech when Iowa’s First Congressional District Representative Abby Finkenauer invited him. Finkenauer was impressed by how Wegner, Iowa Association of FSA County Office Employees (IASCOE) president, reached out to her to speak about his constituents concerns during the government shutdown.
