Former Canton All-State athletes coaching at Northwestern
Anna Norland, left, and Dan Langer, middle, coach the Highlanders at the recent Warrior Invitational in Canton.
They were both All-State athletes in their days at Canton High. Now, Dan Langer and Anna Norland are coaching wrestling together at Northwestern Regional in Barkhamsted.
Langer was a two-time Class S champion in wrestling for Canton, graduating in 1994. Norland, who also graduated in 1994, was an All-State field hockey player who went onto play at Trinity College.
Today, Langer is the head coach for the Highlanders with Norland as his assistant coach. Langer’s daughter, Delila, is a starter on the team along his son, Cody.
