Personal Statement
I've been wrestling since 7th grade. I was not always the best wrestler back then but I was determined to succeed. Freshman year I placed 4th in our conference at 152 . Sophomore year I placed 2nd, and continued on to place 5th in Regionals, and finished out the season with a record of 31-9, and recieved All-Conference Honors and was selected as a member of our All-Area Team for my weight class at 145. This year I am wrestling 152 again and started out undefeated with a record of 8-0 for a while and am currently 20-4. I've placed 1st at my first tournament of the year, 3rd at my second, and recently I placed 2nd at a tournament my school hosted this past saturday. Occassionally my coach bumps me up to 160, and while wrestling 160 i accomplished defeating our area's best 160, which placed 4th in States. I've gotten the strength I lacked last year now so I can hang with the bigger guys. I am determined to get better and go undefeated next year and be state champion. Before next season i plan on attending a wrestling camp. I play soccer for our school before wrestling to get in shape during the off season, and to work on my speed and agility in my feet. I plan on attending a four year college and studing business because I want to own my own sporting goods store someday. I am currently enrolled in one higher level class, AP English 3, and a college bound course called AVID.
