Favorite Match
My finals match when I won my belt in Midwest Classics. My goal was to get the belt and that’s what I set out to do it was a hard tournament I wrestled 10 pounds up to win the belt.
Who Has Helped The Most
My dad and my older brother Kalin and Coach Caleb
How Did They Help
My dad always helps me train in our gym NATF and he teaches me a lot of moves. My older brother Kalin because I am set out to be a way better wrestler then he was. He was almost undefeated when he was in 2nd grade and I am out to beat that! He was a state champion at 6 I didn’t beat that but I know I have the mentality to get the NEUSA State Championship. And Coach Caleb because he was a 2 time state champion and went to Nebraska to wrestle in college and came back to coach us here in his hometown. He really is a great coach!

Something That May Surprise People
A lot of people that watch me wrestle can’t believe I am only 2nd grade and 7 years old. They don’t know that I wrestled since 3 years old. I even wrestle 7-8 graders. I even beat a 14 year old for wrestle offs for a club duel.
