•When did you start wrestling and why?
*I started wrestling when I was a sophomore in high school! I was told that if I tried wrestling, I wouldn’t be good and I love proving people wrong :)”
•What are some of your best memories in the sport?
“Going to wrestle in Spokane, Washington! We were able to explore Spokane, ride electric scooters, and even got Coach Alex to ride on the carousel!”
•What do you like most about the sport?
*My favorite thing about the sport of wrestling is the support!! Wrestling has brought and continues to bring me so many relationships that I would have never had without it and I’m so grateful for the people, the support, and the community that wrestling brought me! :)”
•Who has been the biggest motivating person in your wrestling journey?
*Definitely all my coaches along the way! From my high school coaches who pushed me and supported me (and continue to support me!), to my now college coaches who are there for every step of the way - helping me when I fail, encouraging me when I need it, and believing in me when I don’t believe in myself.”
•What are your goals for this year’s team?
“To cultivate an environment of endless encouragement, support, and being able to uplift each other no matter what we are doing! I hope each and every one of us can push each other to be their best on and off the mat and can care about each other’s success and improvements.“
•What does it mean to you to be chosen by your teammates to be a captain?
“It means a lot to me! I hope that I can be a leader on the team that brings positivity and energy everyday! I hope I can help bring my teammates together and that I can lead by example in my attitude, actions, and efforts!”
