Kuhn signs to wrestle at Cornerstone University

Submitted by Hamilton Heights School Corporation

Hamilton Heights High School senior Simon Kuhn has officially signed his national letter of intent to continue his academic and athletic career at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Mich. Cornerstone is a member of the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) and competes as an NAIA institution. He is the son of Brian and Virginia Kuhn.

Kuhn chose Cornerstone for its Christ-centered education and the strong sense of community he felt within the wrestling program. He plans to study Business Management and ultimately pursue a career as an Air Traffic Controller.

A strong student-athlete, Kuhn has excelled both in the classroom and on the mat. He currently serves as President of the National Honor Society, is an active member of Hamilton Heights’ chapter of Business Professionals of America, and volunteers at Arcadia Christian Church. His academic and athletic achievements include being named a two-time Academic All-American, Academic All-State, Academic All-Conference, and a Sectional and Conference Champion in wrestling.

While wrestling has been his passion since middle school, Kuhn has also been a dedicated member of Hamilton Heights’ Unified Flag Football Team for four years and the Unified Track Team for two years. He credits his brother, Issac, as a major influence in his development as both a student and an athlete.

“Simon Kuhn leaves Hamilton Heights as one of the most decorated wrestlers but academically as well,” said Gary Myers, Hamilton Heights High School Wrestling Coach. “Simon accomplished a rare feat by becoming a 2x Academic All-State and a 2x Academic All-American as well. Simon was our team captain the last two seasons as well as finishing with 118 career victories.”

“I can’t think of a better representative of what we want to see in an athlete here at Hamilton Heights,” said Kurt Ogden, Hamilton Heights High School Athletic Director. “Simon is a very strong student, extremely conscientious and treats others with the utmost respect. He has been a leader of both the Wrestling and Unified programs for the past four years and he is the epitome of who other athletes should be emulating. We wish him the best as he continues his wrestling career at Cornerstone University.”
