Westonka Inducts Charan Jackson, Ryan Breisch and Dan Bradley into Wrestling HOF

Westonka's wrestling program inducted three new members into its Hall of Fame last Friday, Feb. 8. 

Charan Jackson

Charan wrestled for legendary coach Howard Leopold, and was a two-time state entrant and five-year letter winner. In his senior season, Charan was a region champion and placed third in state. He also helped his team to their only state tournament appearance in 1988.  

Charan had several all-conference honors, and set the fastest school pin record—as well as other season and career pinning milestones. After high school, Charan wrestled at the University of St. Thomas, where he was a four-time letter winner, member of the 1991 team that placed 3rd in the nation and was a team captain his senior year.
