Wrestling Team Nominee Winter 09-10

Dale Cutler
Wrestling

Dale Cutler (class of ’63) wrestled for Coach Gordon Norman and was Rockford’s first State Placer in wrestling placing third in 1962 and again in 1963. While wrestling was a relatively new sport at Rockford, starting as a varsity sport in 1959, Dale was a hard worker and improved with every match. He was a team leader and one of the most experienced wrestlers on both the 1962 and 1963 teams. After graduation Dale served his country in Vietnam and won two Bronze stars, two Purple Hearts, and one Army Commendation Medal. Dale was the most decorated Native American from Michigan during the Vietnam War Era. Every Memorial Day Dale would march proudly with his flag in local events. Dale left this earth July 27, 2009. He was a true example of a hard working individual and certainly an outstanding part of the Rockford Wrestling tradition.

Congratulations, Dale!
