After 40 years, Coach Thomsen is going to be retiring from teaching and wrestling. As someone who has so selflessly dedicated himself to decades of students, athletes, and wrestlers, some of his fellow wrestling coaches wanted to start a gift fund to surprise Coach T with a trip after his retirement - one fit for a man who has given so much. For many of us, it was him being by our side not just for those early morning tournaments, but in our lives as well- for that talk we needed. Both during our struggles and our accomplishments, Coach was always in our corner. Thanks in advance for any contribution (and please keep this a surprise, as we’ll be presenting it to him at his retirement gathering at a later date). Please feel free to drop Coach a line or swing by in the next few months at MSJ too- it’s those kinds of visits and catchups that mean the most to him.

Thanks,

Zack, Gary, and MSJ Wrestling Coaches
