This would be me almost a year ago on the Newark JV Wrestling Team. Long hair, a bit chubby, 155 lbs. After a fun and challenging season (maybe not the best I could have been…) I had a record of 2-7 :/ Not very good at all, however I lost 13 lbs getting to 142 at the end of the 4 month season. This is why I have decided to step my game up. Ever since the season I have had a goal of achieving Varsity for atleast one match this season, earning a Varsity Letter. My goals don’t end there for wrestling though:
- Gain a Captains spot Junior year.
- Place in States the same year.
- Win States my Senior year.
- Win Beast of The East the same year.
It’s the summer now and school starts in about a month, the season in 3. That’s why I’ve gotten into the gym and worked harder than ever to try get to where I want to be. I’m trying to get to the 132 lb weight class for this season in an attempt to gain Varsity. Currently I’m at 137.9 lbs so I’ve come a long way in the last year. Wish me luck!
