Junior Year Highl...Sophomore Year Hi...Freshman Year Hig...Personal Statement
I am a 6’2” 240 lb Junior. I participate in football, wrestling, track, and baseball. I am passionate about sports and love to work hard to improve my skills. I am open to productive criticism and am definitely coachable. I want to hear how I can improve so I can preform my best. I earned post-season awards in football and wrestling as a Freshman, Sophomore and Junior. I am ranked #2 in sacks in Class D1 with 6.5. I currently hold the sack record at Thayer Central. I was a wrestling state qualifier as a Freshman, placed 4th as a Sophomore, placed 3rd as a Junior. I placed 8th place at State Track in discus my Sophomore year and was a state qualifier in the shot put. I would love to continue my sports career after high school.
Working on the family farm has really taught me about hard work and dedication. I am willing to do what it takes to get the job done. I am looking for a program that pushes me to get better and work harder.
