Why Wisconsin?

"I chose Wisconsin because of the opportunity to attend a university with a tradition for high academic achievement and still pursue dreams of being a great college wrestler. I am also very excited to join the family like atmosphere of the wrestling team at UW-Madison. Many of my closest friends have attended UW-Madison and I can not wait to follow in their example."
