Alei'a Baarsma '25 Recruiting Profile

Throughout my journey in wrestling, I discovered a passion for understanding human behavior and solving complex puzzles, which inspired my aspiration to become a profiler. Wrestling, particularly girls wrestling, has profoundly shaped my character and determination. Starting as a freshman with a challenging 7-19 record, I persisted tirelessly, never missing a weigh-in and always stepping up when needed, even bumping up weight classes for the team. By my junior year, my record improved to 35-13, achieving fourth place at Divisionals and fifth at State in the 135 weight class. This experience taught me resilience, discipline, and the value of teamwork. Academically, I am dedicated, actively participating in lessons and striving for excellence. My college goals focus on further developing my skills in psychology and criminal profiling to positively impact others' lives through understanding and empathy. These experiences and qualities distinguish me as a committed, hardworking candidate eager to contribute to the team and pursue my professional aspirations.
