Wartburg Television’s “SportsKnight” will pay tribute Thursday night to former Wartburg College wrestling star Aaron Wernimont ’09 with a special video in McCaskey Lyceum.

“Remembering Aaron,” which will be shown at 7 p.m., will honor the two-time NCAA Division III wrestling champion who died suddenly March 13 while a student in the School of Optometry at the University of Indiana in Bloomington.

The video will include interviews with family, friends and coaches, according to WTV8 Sports Director Shelby Granath.

Following the video presentation, a memorial reception will be at Joe’s KnightHawk.

A video preview of “Remembering Aaron” can be accessed at www.wartburgcircuit.org.

“This video tribute not only honors his life as an athlete and outstanding scholar, but pays honors to his life as a husband, friend and brother. I encourage all members of the Wartburg community to take some time Thursday to remember Aaron,” said Travis Bockenstedt, WTV8 station adviser.
