Babyg asked about Jordan Gienger’s wrestling family tree. Here is the best I can put together. I only mention state championships not state places. I will mention year, name, relationship to Jordan and lastly where they wrestled after high school.

1937-39 Dr. Ed Keller – great uncle - KSU 2x Big 6 runner up/Nat'l wrestling hall of fame
1944 Warren Gienger – paternal grandfather
1947 William Gienger – paternal great uncle
1948 Elton Keller – maternal grandfather - KSU
1956 Richard Vandike – maternal great uncle
1960 Don Keller – cousin - FHSU
1966 Dr. Tom Keller – cousin – KSU
1968 Bill Keller – cousin – KSU
1971-72 Dan Keller – uncle – KSU
1973 Jeff Vap – uncle – Colby CC/UNC
1975 Perry Keller – uncle – Colby CC/UNC
1978 Kelly Gienger – father – Colby CC/U. of Nebraska
1984 Darrell Vandike – cousin
2007 Jordan Gienger

Some may look at all this with admiration while other may be like my Chapman high school graduate wife who calls it "that Keller/NWKS wrestling cult thing."

We are proud of Jordan though.
