Stallions Wrestling

The Chaska / Chanhassen Stallions club maintains a paid coaching staff of seasoned veterans to teach our youth the sport of wrestling.  Our coaches are outstanding and our youth receive excellent training in technique, conditioning and discipline.

Cabe is a 2008 graduate of Chaska HS, was a 5 year varsity wrestler and qualified for the MN State Tournament in his senior year.  Cabe is an assitant coach with both our Youth and Middle School wrestling programs and helps with the High School program as well.  Cabe is a tremendous young man who brings a great deal of ability to relate with the kids and make them feel a part of something cool.

Randy Duce has been the bedrock of the Chaska/Chanhassen wrestling program for 30 years.  Duce started coaching in Chaska in 1981 and has 40 years of wrestling experience.  Duce started wrestling in 7th grade with Stanley-Boyd High School in Wisconsin, was the team captain for 2 years and won 12 tournaments.  Duce went on to wrestle for the University of Wisconsin La Crosse at 118 lb and was the Team Captain there as well.  Duce also wrestled international Freestyle and placed 8th in Olympic trials in 1984.  Duce's humbleness prevents us from gaining additional statistics on his success as a wrestler.  Our program would not be what it is without his dedication and support.
