Vaida Uskilith-Karaja '25 Recruiting Profile

Hi, I’m Vaida. I’m 17 and started wrestling my sophomore year of high school. What makes me a good candidate for you team is that I am very coach-able, a team player, and a hustler at heart. After my first year, I realized I wanted this sport to stay in my life. I love the grit that this sport puts a player through and how personal it can get.  I like the environment in the wrestling room, it challenges me, and keeps me optimistic about bettering my skills and self. I can definitely say wrestling has changed my life for the better. It encouraged me to do well academically, and to keep my mental performance growing. I‘m a leader on my team in Bark River- Harris being one of the only girls on the team we wrestle with the boys no differently than they wrestle with each other. I wrestle boys most of my season and girls towards the end of each season. I would love to win some titles and make a name for myself as a student-athlete in college.
