I have wrestled for the Shepherd varsity wrestling team since my freshman year. We have always been in the running for district champions along with Alma. They had beaten us for the past 2 years before 2010. In the 2009-2010 year I wrestled 130 and we had a very strong lineup to win the district championship. This picture shows about our championship and what hard work can get you if you work together.
This 2011-2012 season I learned more from my team than I have in the past four years while wrestling on the varsity wrestling team. I have learned that teamwork is not only important, that it is also essential to any one individuals success. The past three years I have thought wrestling is only an individual sport with team aspects of course, but this year that all changed when I was recognized for all state honors at the 130 pound weight class. I learned many things while wrestling with these great men, they helped me capture my dreams of placing at the state tournament, always pushing me harder everyday in practice.
