Gilroy Midcals Hi...
My match at FARGO...
2022 SpotlightPersonal Statement
My name is Hayden Tyler Ancheta and I am a rising senior at Monta Vista High School and train at Sunnyvale Wrestling Club. Having been on the California Freestyle and Greco Team at Fargo Nationals and beating a returning Junior All-American this year, I am confident going into my senior year I can make noise in my state and in the country. Of course, while committing myself to Wrestling, I have kept my grades up at Monta Vista High School. Additionally, I have successfully multi-tasked wrestling in addition to my other extra-curricular activities.

Training
- I started my daily training 2 days after lockdown/quarantine was announced in 2020.
- 2 years
- When I am writing this, the date is 8/12/21, and I have maintained my daily training routine which consists of lifting, cardio, and wrestling. I have not missed a day since then, besides one break I took when I was sick. Currently 425 days into this training lifestyle, which is around 1 1/2 years where I have consistently stayed active and trained everyday(besides Sundays; rest day). You can see this journey on my Instagram where I consistently post the day and what I am doing.
