MEET THE COACHES

Coach Adam Zimmerman

Both his father and stepfather, being wrestlers themselves, were EXTREMELY supportive of his wrestling career. He started wrestling in 5th grade and graduated as a 4-year letter winner, including regional champ his Junior year, and 3rd in conference his Senior year. He coached the wrestling program at Rio High School for 5 years, with many trips to the state wrestling championship.

Coach Edwin Bonayon

Wrestling has changed my life for the better. It has helped shape me into the individual I am today. I grew up in Parma, Idaho where wrestling was the sport to play. I was a 4x Idaho State placer. I was also a 4-time state placer in Freestyle and Greco where I qualified for Idaho National Team. I competed at Nations in both Freestyle and Greco in both my Junior and Senior year. After my high school career, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps as an Infantry Rifleman. After completing two overseas deployments, I had the opportunity to try out for the All-Marine Wrestling team. I was able to make the team as the number 2 wrestler in my weight. During my time on the Marine Wrestling Team, I was able to sharpen my skills in both Freestyle and Greco. After my time in the Service I needed to fill the void so I started training in MMA. I have competed in several grappling tournaments and had several professional MMA fights. I have lived in Wisconsin for the last 5 years where I have volunteered as a youth wrestling coach for the Sun Prairie High School team for the last 3 seasons. I have 2 boys that will be wrestling this season, so I hope they can get the same from wrestling that I did!
