Germantown was in coaching transitions this season. The new coaching staff of Casey Gabrielson, Andy Helm, Clayton Neske, and Mike Krause took over a very talented group of wrestlers. The season was highlighted by Jesse Thielke's (125) 3rd WIAA state championship run. Joe Multerer (285) joined Jesse Thielke at the WIAA state tournament as well. The Warhawks finished 2nd behind state powerhouse Port Washington in the NSC with a 6-1 record. The Warhawks graduated several key guys that will be missed such as Eric Bloedorn, Brandon Tsoumas, Cody Falls, Jordan Wong and more.
