Reinstate Dexter Bechstead

Dexter Beckstead started coaching wrestling in 1972 at the Junior High level. With over 40 years of experience and coaching in numerous leagues (Narrows, Metro, KingCo just to name a few), he has become a well known name and highly respected in the wrestling world.

When taking the Eastlake job there were only 11 wrestlers on the squad. In 4 years time he has more than doubled the amount of wrestlers participating (27). Prior to Coach Beckstead, Eastlake would take a few wrestlers to state every couple of years. In Becksteads' tenure he has sent at least one wrestler to state every year!!

Coach Beckstead has a passion for wrestling. This is evident in the amount of free time he provides to the kids. He started a freestyle club at Eastlake, volunteers time in Seattle running little kids clubs, taking kids to freestyle tournaments on his own time, donating funds to the booster club every year, making sure every wrestler has the proper equipment whether they can afford it or not!!
He even went so far to save the district thousands of dollars on transportation by only getting a bus to the away matches and having the kids carpooled home.

Dexter Beckstead is a selfless human being. The kind of person any parent would want to have as a Coach for there child. We cant say enough about how much we appreciate this Man!!!
