Jonah Schoppe '17 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Jonah Schoppe.  I am a senior at Panguitch High school.  I have enjoyed athletics ever since I was a young boy.  I have wrestled since I was in pre-school and started to enjoy running as a Jr.high student.  Simply put, I love to run and wrestle.  I love the feeling that I get from pushing myself to do better, and to win.  Going to a small school has given me the opportunity to pursue athletics in more than one field.  Right from the beginning, I knew that JV was not good enough for me.  I have pushed myself to make our Varsity team every year and so far I have met this goal.  I have placed at state every year that I have competed so far in Track/field, Wrestling, and Cross-Country.  Last year I took 1st at 106# in wrestling and this year I took 1st at state in Cross-Country with a time of 16:34.  I have set goals to place at state for Track and wrestling this year as well.  I am self-motivated and push myself outside of the wrestling room and track with cross-fit training.  I enjoy these sports because I know that I can get out of them what I put into them.  That said, I am also team motivated.  I led my track team to 2 state championships in 2014 and 2015.  I also led my Cross-country team to 2 back-to-back state championships this year and last.  All of this is hard for me to discuss because my parents have taught me to exercise humility and I believe it is a true quality to have if you are confident in yourself.   I believe that if you give any of my coaches a call you will be able to see what is great about me.  I want to win.  I will work hard.  I am coachable and willing to do what it takes to be your next champion.  I have set a goal to compete at the college level.  I am young for my class and wont turn 18 until July of 2017. Most of my competition so far has been guys 1 year older than me and I am winning.  Competing against older guys that have already been in college inspires me to want to beat them as well. Give me the opportunity and I will work hard and win for you.  Jonah Schoppe 435-676-2043
