Personal Statement
UPDATE: Total Career wins 100 ... 2014-2015 season I went 44-7 with 33 pins, 3 major decisions and 3 techs. I am a State Qualifier and achieved All-Section honors. I also won the Patriot Invitational & Clarkstown North Tournament and went 9-0 in the RCK Mat Wars pinning a Section 1 finalist from last year in the process. I finished in 2nd place (with one loss) in the Section One Sectionals at 145. During the season I also competed against and beat #1 ranked Section 1 opponents at 152lbs.
My goal is to wrestle, compete and excel on the collegiate level. I believe that I have the work ethic and the determination to do so. You should know that I am the youngest person in my high school class. Therefore, I have a greater potential for improvement than many wrestlers I face off against. Furthermore, I am always trying to maximize my skills. Even in the off-season I work with multiple coaches to assist me toward this end. Finally, my record was essentially compiled in the last two years, since I did not wrestle my Freshman year due to an injury. In the past two years I compiled a record of 56 and 19 with 33 pins, 3 major decisions and 2 techs in my past two seasons. So far this year you can see how I'm doing in the above update. I am and All-Section wrestler and I am currently ranked first in Section 1. My off-season record is even more impressive, with several championships and high placements in prestigious tournaments. Finally grappling is my life. Even when I am not wrestling, I compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and have won national and international tournaments like the Pan Ams. I believe I would be an asset to any collegiate wrestling program.
