Off the Mat with Nic
Why did you choose to attend Wisconsin? Wisconsin has a strong academic program that will help me achieve my goals off the mat and after graduation.
Most memorable wrestling achievement: Receiving the Bob Petruska Scholarship Award, which is the most prestigious student-athlete award at my high school for my leadership and dedication to wrestling.
Before each match I: Think through how the match is going to go and how I'm going to attack my opponent
Favorite Barry Davis quote: "Wham-O"
First started wrestling: 13/ 8th grade
