Personal Statement
Academics has been my greatest goal, for my college experience it is the most important to me that I have a great academic education, my current focus is in electrical engineering. My second priority is finding a program where I would be able to wrestle on a college level and continue my personal growth.
I feel I would be a benefit to any team and college. In my high school education, over half of my classes have been either Honors or AP classes. I was accepted into both the National Honors Society and National English Honors Society. I currently have a SAT score of 1280, although I plan to take another SAT in October, I feel it is a good score but does not show what I am capable of.
In my wrestling career I have been lucky enough to wrestle with some of the best in the Ponderosa Wrestling room, wrestling behind a few state champs and runners up. Although this has made me a much more capable wrestler, I have not yet had the opportunity to show it on my own varsity team. I have been able to fill in
for my varsity squad and have wrestled from 132-160 in the same season with a winning record. Throughout my time at Ponderosa I have gone to numerous out of state tournaments or in state tournaments during off season to find my own success. 2019 was my first year to ever wrestle Greco and Freestyle, and I placed third in Greco State as a Cadet at 132. The following year, during COVID-19, I went to Utah’s Greco state at 138 and placed second, in my first ever Junior Tournament. I have placed as high as 4th
at a national Folkstyle event and 3rd in Freestyle. During these tournaments I beat multiple state placers, and a few state champions. The following season some of these went back to their state and in their 2020-2021 season ended up undefeated in season. I am looking forward to my senior year to show in my own state what I am capable of.
In closing, I am looking for a highly academic program where I can elevate my education, while pushing myself further physically in a competitive wrestling program.
I thank you for your time and attention and look forward to discussing future opportunities that may be the right fit.
