The vision of starting a wrestling club in Derby, Kansas was fulfilled in 1967 when Tom and Iris Faust laid down six pieces of carpet in their garage on South Kokomo Street and began practicing with three team members, one of whom was their son, Lew. The DWC has provided character building and wrestling instructions to thousands of young athletes and continues to do so as one of the most talented and respected wrestling clubs in the state of Kansas. This scholarship is awarded to a Derby High School student wishing to further his/her education, who has participated in wrestling and who exhibits the positive qualities and character that wrestling provided.
