Nicolas Di Lucia '14 Recruiting Profile

Over the summer going into tenth grade I went to the 28 day jay Robinson wrestling camp. The lessons I learned there not only helped wrestling wise but life wise. I am devoted to whatever I do 110%. If I set my mind on something and I find motivation, no one or nothing can stop me. I’ll do whatever it takes to achieve my goals and dreams. I also went to the new 10 day jay Robinson in upstate New York going into 11th grade.  I took 6th in the state at freestyle as well as Greco in NY. I was also on the New York state national wrestling team for schoolboys in 8th grade and I took 6th at qualifiers freshman year however I got a wildcard into Nassau counties freshman year but was un-able to make weight, due to the short notice. I came in  3rd sophomore year, and made it to the finals junior year but had a controversial call and ended up losing 4-3.  I have also went to war of the shore and fell short of being an All-American with an 8-7 lost to my practice partner. The current highlight video is footage from 9th and 10th grade. I was 125 freshmen year, 138 sophomore year. Since then i have became immensely better.  My motto is "It's always darkest before the dawn" which means when the going gets tough,  you just have to push through it with every last ounce of effort you can give.
