Chase Sanchez of Emporia, Kan., has signed a letter of intent to wrestle at Bethany College for the 2011-2012 academic year.

Sanchez comes to Bethany from Emporia High School where he was a four-year varsity wrestler. He placed third at the state meets in 2009 and 2010 and was the class 5A state champion in 2011.

Head Wrestling Coach Jacob Marrs says, "Chase and I both wrestled for Coach Charbonneau which should pay dividends down the road. He is tough on the mat, and we hope that is something our whole team reflects. We have confidence in Chase."

Sanchez is the son of Vincent and Lisa Sanchez and plans to major in elementary education.

Chase Sanchez, congratulations on your high school wrestling accomplishments. Best of luck with your wrestling and academics next year at Bethany College.

Please let me know if any of the above information is incorrect and needs to be changed or if any additions or deletions need to be made to the above list. On additions it helps if I receive a confirmation by posting or private message from the wrestler, a parent, high school coach or college coach. Also it helps if I can get any accomplishments like state championships, state placing or qualifying, league titles so I can make special mention of that in the announcement with the listing. A link to a newspaper article of the signing is also a good confirmation source. Thank you
