2023 Highlights
2022 Highlights Personal Statement
My wrestling career has been characterized by hard work, dedication, and being a coachable athlete. I've been wrestling for ten years and still plan to wrestle. I have wrestled Varsity beginning Freshman year. The more I have wrestled, the more I have fallen in love with the sport, and so has my passion to compete on the mat has grown even bigger. Paramount in my life are love of learning, God, and country. I enjoy studying American War history, exercise science, and microbiology. I aspire to be an Athletic Trainer or study exercise science. Through years of both football and wrestling, I have learned the value of hard work, determination, and attentiveness to people of greater experience. I have learned this past season hard work and determination has taken me further than I thought I could have gone.
