The Askren Wrestling Academy Coaches
AWA opened its doors in 2011 under the watchful eye of John Mesenbrink, who coached both Ben and Max Askren
Both Ben and Max won State titles at Arrowhead High School in Wisconsin and went on NCAA Div 1 Championships at the University of Missouri. Now back in Wisconsin both are dedicated to helping young wrestlers achieve their goals.
