Anthony Heng '16 Recruiting Profile

~My name is Anthony Heng, but everyone calls me Tony.  I am the youngest of three children; I am a junior at Lourdes Central Catholic High School in Nebraska City, Nebraska.   I wrestle for the Nebraska City Public School, as Lourdes does not have a wrestling team and the schools co-op some sports.

My biggest priorities in life are God, family and school.  My passion is wrestling.  Everything I do is devoted to bettering myself as a wrestler, that means in the classroom, on the mat and in the off season.  I train in the off season with Zac Dominguez at the MWC wrestling academy in Papillion, Nebraska.  I started wrestling when I was 8, in third grade, with the Nebraska City Youth Club.  I was a member of the Nebraska Elementary Dual team as a sixth grader and competed on Fremont, Ne.  In 7th and 8th grade I was a member of the Nebraska Middle School Dual team and competed in Danville, Ill. I have competed in numerous out of state tournaments including North Dakota, Iowa, and Oklahoma.  I placed 3rd at the Brute Nationals in KS and 5th at the Monster Match National s in Co.  I won the Freestyle and Greco state tournament in 2013 and 2014 at Concordia State University.  I wrestled as a cadet in 2013 and on the Junior Dual team in Oklahoma City. I was a State Folkstyle qualifier as a freshman, District Champ and 3rd at state as a sophomore.

My father owns and operates a hog confinement.  When I am not in school, wrestling or training I work for the family business.  I have also been a member of 4H and competed in livestock shows for the last 7 years.

I believe my destiny is to do great things on and off the wrestling mat.  Wrestling is my passion, I love the sport.  I want to compete at the collegiate level while earning an engineering degree.  I will not stop to go further.
