This season McElfresh compiled an impressive record of 27-9 which was a huge improvement over his freshmen year record of 6-10. McElfresh is a Colorado state tournament qualifier and was a regional runner up this year for the Mitchell High School Marauders. “Chip is a tough wrestler and a hard worker. Mcelfresh improved every season of his high school career and he knows how to work through the tough times in a wrestling season. His high school coaches, Coach Kevin Meyer and Coach Tim Bonebright, believe Chip is only going to get better in college. I’ve seen Chip wrestle and I agree with their assessment. I’m looking forward to him making this next step of wrestling for me at the college level. McElfresh has what it takes to be a competitive collegiate wrestler,” said HLGU Head Wrestling Coach Scott Hawes. “Chip will be a great addition to our program. I’m excited to see what Chip will accomplish as a freshman."
