Alex Reyna '24 Recruiting Profile

Hello,

My name is Alex Reyna.  I am a high school senior and I attend Richmond-Burton Community High School in Richmond, Illinois.  I am a four-year varsity wrestler for my high school team.  I qualified for the IHSA Varsity Sectionals tournament as a freshman in 2021.  I qualified for the IWCOA State Wrestling Tournament as a sophomore in 2022.  In the 2022 summer I qualified for Freestyle Wrestling Nationals and wrestled for Team Illinois, in Fargo.  In my junior year, I placed 2nd in Regionals and wrestled into the blood round at the Oregon, Illinois Sectional tournament.  

On 1.25.24 I celebrated my 99th career varsity win.  I wrestle at the 190 lbs weight class for my team.  Our Richmond-Burton Wrestling team just won our 2nd consecutive Kishwaukee Valley Conference Wrestling Championship.  My current Trackwrestling (# 117620135) Rank Value is .85 (ranked since 12/27/23).

My strengths that have lead to success on the mat for me are that I really love this sport.  I wrestle year-round and love to travel all over to find competition.  I lift weights and want to wrestle next year in college.  I learn more from my losses than I do from my wins.  I can tend to hyper-focus on big matches and I am working on being able to shut out all the outside pressures of performing in those matches.  The more significant the stage is for me, the more fire I feel to step up to that challenge.

I have a 3.2 cumulative GPA and I take my schoolwork seriously.  I am looking forward to attending college to study medicine and wrestle at the next level.  I want to explore Division 1 and 2 college options for my education and opportunities to wrestle beyond high school.

The best way for me to succeed at something difficult is for someone to tell me I can't do it.  I live for that challenge.  Wherever I decide to attend college, I will do everything in my power to continue to wrestle at a high level for that school as well.  I have many athletic and academic gifts.  What my coaches will notice about me is that I refuse to be outworked.  I have a high drive and non-stop motor that doesn't quit.  No one will put in more effort than I will.  I am excited to show that to my next school, team, and coaches.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Respectfully,

Alex Reyna
