Youth- I started wrestling when I was seven and began wrestling competitively when I was eight. I qualified for the Wisconsin Youth State Tournament when I was in seventh grade.  I returned to state my eighth grade year and placed third. All eight years that I wrestled for my youth team I won the team MVP award.

Freshman Year- My freshman year I wrestled at 132 pounds and had a 33-6 record. I won conference, regionals and placed second at sectionals which qualified me for the Wisconsin High School Individual State Tournament.   At the end of the year banquet I received Team MVP.

Sophomore Year- My sophomore year I wrestled at 138 pounds and had a 43-3 record. I won conference, regionals, and sectionals which again qualified me for the Wisconsin Individual State Wrestling Tournament. I went into State ranked third.  I was voted co-conference MVP and again won Team MVP at the end of the year banquet.

Junior Year-  My junior year I wrestled 145 pounds and had a 40-6 record. I won conference, regionals, sectionals and qualified for the Wisconsin Individual State Wrestling Tournament. My team won conference and lost at regionals by just 9 points because we didn't have a 113 pound wrestler.
