Kuhn signs with Cornerstone University

Isaac Kuhn, Hamilton Heights senior, has signed a letter of intent to wrestle for Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Cornerstone, a private Christian College, is a member of the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) and a NAIA athletic institution. He is the son of Brian and Virginia Kuhn.

It was the welcoming environment and feeling like the team was family that sealed the deal for Kuhn to continue his studies and wrestle at the collegiate level. Kuhn, who is as strong in the classroom as he is on the mat, plans to pursue a degree in sports management to ultimately pursue a career as an event manager for a professional team.

Kuhn is a Team Indiana All-Star, named to the Academic All State Team and Academic All American twice, a state qualifier, and a three-time sectional champion. He is the president of the HHHS National Honor Society, a member of Huskies for the Cross (HFC), Arcadia Christian Church, Soccer, and Husky Wrestling Club.

Kuhn said he has been passionate about wrestling since the sixth grade putting in the time and sweat equity to build his skill and strength on the mat over the next seven years. He credits middle school wrestling coach, Rodney Case, as being important to his development as a wrestler.  Kuhn met Case in middle school year and said he [Case] has continued to be an inspirational influence on his wrestlers.

“Isaac represents Hamilton Heights High School’s Wrestling Program as one of the best scholars to participate in the sport,” said Hamilton Heights Athletic Director Kurt Ogden. “He is a two-time National All-Academic selection and has earned several more academic accolades as well.  On the mat, he has earned over 100 career wins and recently participated at the state finals. On top of all that, Isaac is one of the most polite and respectful young men I know. Cornerstone University should feel privileged to get an individual the caliber of Isaac to represent their wrestling program.”

Gary Myers, Hamilton Heights Head Wrestling Coach, agrees. “Isaac is another academic success who just happens to be a great wrestler! Isaac will thrive at the next level as he has done his work on and off the mat!”
