Personal Statement

My dream is to wrestle at the division 1 level, win an NCAA National Championship and go on to wrestle in the Olympics. My goals are to win a county, district, region and state title before my high school career is over. I also want to hold the most wins and pins record for my high school as well as become the first wrestler to place in states at Robbinsville.
