Cole Gros '25 Recruiting Profile

When I was 7 years old my dad introduced me to the sport of wrestling and it has completely changed my life . Not only has wrestling changed my physical appearance but it has developed my undying will  of never giving up and determination. I believe that I would benefit any college wrestling program because of the traits that have lead to my success on the mat and in the classroom. These traits have earned me numerous state titles, national all-American status, and straight A's.  Some of those traits are to work hard, stay humble, never give up, and have respect for any and everyone.

My senior season has just ended and I have made many accomplishments. I have been 1st Team all-metro Three times, and 2nd team all-metro once. My records for my four years on varsity in high school has been 41-10(freshman), 43-7(sophomore), 43-2(junior year) and 42-3(senior year). Making my total High School record 169-22. Each of those years I was ranked in the top 5 of the weight class. My sophomore year i was unable to wrestle at the state tournament due to injury. My Junior year I placed 3rd at 144lbs. My Senior year I was the State Runner Up at 144lbs. 

As for my academics, they are always the main priority to succeed in life. I have finished every year in high school so far with a 4.0 GPA or higher. In these years I have taken multiple honors, AP, and Duel Enrolment courses if multiple subjects. I have recently scored my best on the ACT being a 24 and still looking to improve. I work as hard off the mat as I do on the mat.

I hold myself to very high standards and believe in accountability. I know that my success depends on not only my actions, but how I choose to do things and make tough decisions that will ultimately be for the best.  I have made may sacrifices throughout high school and know it will take many more to meet my goals of being a Collegiate All-American.
