Personal Statement


I will be a 2015 graduate from Minnesota. I have been wrestling since preschool, this being my 12th year in the sport. I have been on our varsity team since I was in 7th grade. In the 2009-2010 and the 2010-2011 seasons, I was awarded all-conference honorable mention. In the 2011-2012 season, I was an all-conference wrestler as well as a state entrant. I also play varsity football and baseball. In the spring of 2012, my freshman year, I played a little varsity baseball at catcher after our 9th grade season was completed. In the fall of 2012, my sophomore year, I played on the varsity football team. I hope to continue to improve my skills and talents at a collegiate level on the mat, as well as in the classroom. I currently have a 3.983 GPA and I am in honors English, honors chemistry, and advanced geometry 2, which is honors math.
