| Gerald "Hutch" Hutchinson |
The story of Hutch Hutchinson is a rather unique one. He never wrestled in high school. He never wrestled in college. In fact his relationship with wrestling started at a chance encounter. He was a standout goalie on the high school soccer team & ended up playing goalie for the Owls. While at Maine Presque Isle he was also a manager of the men's basketball team. The wrestling coach asked him if he'd be interested in being a manger of the wrestling team. Hutchinson accepted & thus began a love affair with the sport.
Post college, Hutchinson took a job as the head wrestling coach for Penobscot Valley High school. He lead his team to an overall dual record of 514-140, including 90 duals straight. This included winning five state titles.
