Menelik James '24 Recruiting Profile

My life experiences have shaped the person I am today as my past few days have been very eventful. I would like to start off by saying that my life experiences have made me a better person, a better scholar, and a better athlete. Our life experiences have shaped our character and who we are today. Just like how my experience as a wrestler has shaped me into a better scholar and a better athlete even though I started a month ago. To quote my coach, “You need to be a student before you become an athlete.” This inspired me to be a good student and got my gpa before I was going to become a good wrestler. Even though I joined a month ago, wrestling already has had a big impact on my life and I love it with a passion. I actually really hope to get good during my highschool years and wrestle for Princeton or other D1 or D2 colleges.
