Kerr formed the club in 1976 for his wrestlers, coaches, and area athletes to compete in freestyle and Greco-Roman competition. The 1978-79 SWC schedule was extremely successful. Both Robert McDowell and Tihamer Toth-Fejel captured Great Plains titles while Marty Lockwood and Duane Harris were 5th, and Kevin Hejnal finished 7th. At the Midlands, Hejnal barely missed placing by taking a 7th/8th.McDowell was 3rd and Toth-Fejel, injured in the semi-finals and unable to continue, took a 6th. Lockwood and Danny Kida again placed in the National AUU Greco-Roman Championship by taking 2nd and 4th, respectively.
