Matthew Martin '20 Recruiting Profile

I am a hard working determined student athlete.  I believe in doing what it takes for the good of the team.  An example of this was in my sophomore year.  I injured my ankle on the first day of practice. The injury had me out for most of the season.  Even though I couldn't wrestle I attended every practice. I helped with couching and rallying around my teammates.  I returned with 1 match before post season.  I went on to place 5th at sectionals and advanced to the next round.  Unfortunately, I did not place sectionals.   That year I was awarded Rookie of the year.  Something that I did not think was possible because I was not able to wrestle.  I learned that my passion, dedication and drive for the sport and my teammates is just as important as my ability to be on the mat.
