As a sophomore, I am setting the bar higher than my freshman year. As a freshman, I was the first freshman to place at state in the history of my county. My high school has only had two other four-time qualifiers, and I plan to be the first four-time state placer for my high school. I train year round with weight lifting and wrestle through the summer at a D2 school even though I attend a D3 school. I run six miles every day trying to build my endurance. I strive to be better than I was yesterday and better than I was last year. I know that there are better wrestlers than me, and I seek them out because I know that they will make me better and prepare me for my ultimate goals. As a freshman my GPA was a 3.8 and the first quarter interim report of AP classes has shown a GPA of 3.4 so far with grades only improving. I am excited for what my future holds!
