Alexander Karantinos '18 Recruiting Profile

I became interested in wrestling as early as I can remember.  My father was a head varsity coach for 25 years and inducted into 4  Halls of Fame,   So growing up, I was always in the wrestling room,  at matches or tournaments, where I learned a lot about competition though many of Dad's best wrestlers.  I was also fortunate to have a Dad who wrestled in college and became an All-American placing second in the nation at the NCAA Division II level to instruct me along with Coach Kyle Hare.  Wrestling at perennial power, Red Mountain High School, I learned how to push myself and gained the values of commitment, dedication, sacrifice, teamwork and leadership as a team captain.   I am looking for a program that will be a good fit for me athletically and academically.  I believe I have the talent, character and work ethic to compete in college and help your school achieve it's goals.
