This legislative commemoration honors Jeremy Ask, the coach of the Canton C-Hawks wrestling team, for his significant contributions to high school wrestling in South Dakota. A two-time state champion wrestler himself, Ask began his coaching career in Alcester before taking on the head coach position in Canton in 2001. He played a pivotal role in establishing the girls wrestling program in 2021, the first year it was sanctioned by the state, and later transitioned to an assistant coach role in 2024 to mentor new coaches.

Notably, in 2026, Ask made history by becoming the only wrestling coach in South Dakota to lead both a girls team and a boys team to state championships in the same year. The commemoration recognizes his dedication to the sport and the lasting impact he has made on the wrestling community in Canton and across the state.
