Back to high school wrestling. Do you feel like Iowa high school students have enough opportunities to wrestle outside of Iowa during season and out of season?
I feel like during season we are very limited on the ability to wrestle out of state but out of season we have a lot more opportunities to.
What are your goals this upcoming season?
Undefeated season and repeat state champion.
If you had the opportunity to wrestle in a Who’s #1 event in Iowa against a 3A, 2A or 1A champ would you rather wrestle pre-season or after season?
After season, because my training is at its highest level then.

My parents, my coaches, and my supportive school and community.
