2024 Highlights
2023 HighlightsPersonal Statement
This video interview shares my broad motivations and what I strive for my character to be. https://www.kfyrtv.com/2023/11/23/servpro-athlete-week-kenmares-william-cook/
I hope to be a varsity starter by at most my second year in college. I worked with alot of different groups in my activities in high school, and I have always strived to bring my teams together. I usually complete this through leadership by example as we compete through the season together. I believe accountability is of the utmost importance and I have tried to always be there for a teammate when they've needed help achieving a goal, especially when needing to make weight during wrestling. This has gotten me MVPs in Cross Country, Wrestling, and track & field, but more importantly has won me leadership awards in all three sports aswell. I hope to bring my wrestling skills and leadership to any room I end up in. I believe wholeheartedly that I have many aspects of my wrestling that I can sharpen, and I will continue to improve in the years to come. I am completely infatuated with the sport, and I hope to become a wrestling coach later in life.
