My favorite thing about Wisconsin Wrestling is: The great coaches and teammates.
Before each match, I: Visualize what I'm going to do. Get in the zone.

Most memorable wrestling achievement: Winning state
A non-athletic talent I have is: I'm an okay singer, maybe.
Why Wisconsin? In order to join the Badger family and the engineering program is great
