By Byron Beers/Staff Writer El Reno senior Chris Hacker has been nominated for the Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award, which honors the premier student-wrestler in the country. One wrestler from each state is chosen, before one national winner is selected. The national winner will be announced in June at the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum in Stillwater. The award winner last year was David Craig of Brandon High School, Brandon, Fla. The recipient is honored for outstanding wrestling achievement, scholastic achievements and citizenship.
