Nicolet High School would like to thank Coach Gus Kaufmann for his years of service and dedication to Nicolet High School. Coach Kaufmann recently resigned as the Nicolet Head Wrestling Coach, a position he held for the past 21 years. He plans to spend more time coaching his own children in the Nicolet Jr. Knights youth wrestling program, which he was instrumental in developing. Coach Kaufmann led the Nicolet wrestling program to unprecedented levels of individual and team success. He coached teams to a NSC (North Shore Conference) Dual Conference Championship, a NSC Conference Championship, 3 Regional Championships, a Sectional Championship, a Team State Tournament berth and 120 dual meet victories, most in school history. He also coached 36 individual state qualifiers including 4 state finalists and 2 state champions. Gus also served 16 years as the pole vault coach for the track teams, taking 10 pole vaulters to the State Tournament. "It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the Nicolet Head Wrestling Coach for 21 years. I have a tremendous sense of pride in the program, the school and the community. The support and time many people have committed to Nicolet Wrestling over the years is what has gotten us to where we are today. It is now my turn to coach at the youth and middle school level while supporting the high school program into the future," said Kaufmann. A search for a new coach has begun, information can be found on WECAN.
