Richard Cummings '26 Recruiting Profile

My goal in my wrestling career is to make it as far as I can physically and mentally, push myself in the room, and in the classroom. A little thing about me is that I love the sport of wrestling . I will always put 110% in the room no matter what. My accomplishments have been a ride so far. My 8th grade year in middle school I went undefeated and my freshman year I went 33-19. I placed 5th at one of the hardest individual tournaments in our wrestling schedule. I started my whole freshman year on the varsity team and also got awarded the Dave Dean most Dedication Award, practice room warrior, and animal of the week. We also won the district and placed second at regionals as a team. Throughout my years I have traveled all over. I have received so many trophies and medals. My favorite one is when the dual team I was on took 1st place in Spartan Nationals in Florida. Throughout my 11 years of wrestling I have always loved to learn different techniques to improve my wrestling. But my goal for the future is not just wrestling but also to go to college with a sports medicine program to get a degree and start my future beyond school.

Outside of school I have been a part of Boy Scouts of America (BSA) for 10+ years and completed the Arrow of Light which is the highest rank and achievement as a cub scout. I than advanced through several ranks and I am working on completing the eagle scout rank currently. Scouts has taught me many skills that carry over into my sports and school life such as disipline, leadership, kindness, bravery, and cleanliness.
