The New York Mills wrestling team will officially dedicate its wrestling room in honor of long-time coach Richard Ericksrud on Thursday night.
As part of parents and senior night festivities, the NY Mills wrestling family will officially change the name of the wrestling room at the school in honor of Ericksrud.
A long-time teacher, counselor and coach at NY Mills School, Ericksrud has had a lasting impact on the community through his passion with civic involvement and the school.
Ericksrud was the head wrestling coach for a number of years at NY Mills School. During his time atop the program he amassed a record of 163-61-5. He has the 195th most wins of any head coach in the history of Minnesota and has a career winning percentage of 71.17 percent.
The night will kick off with the kindergarten students saying the Pledge of Allegiance at 5 p.m., prior to the start of the first wrestling match between NY Mills and United Clay Becker.
Following the final match of the night between NY Mills and Frazee, the wrestling program will recognize the parents of the wrestlers with coffee and cookies, as well as honor senior wrestler Bode Roberts.
