Christopher Colon '24 Recruiting Profile

Wrestling has been my lifelong passion, igniting a fire within me since the age of 8. As I pursue the perfect college fit, I am eager to continue my growth both academically and on the mat, while also giving back to the sport that has shaped me. 

From the first moment I stepped onto the wrestling mat, I knew I had found my calling. The sport has become an integral part of my identity, teaching me invaluable life lessons such as discipline, determination, and resilience. Over the years, I have dedicated countless hours to improving my skills, studying technique, and pushing myself to new heights. Wrestling has not only shaped my character but has also instilled in me an unwavering drive to excel in all aspects of my life.

Academically, I take great pride in my strong academic accolades. I have consistently maintained high grades and embraced the challenges of rigorous coursework. Education is a priority for me, and I believe that success in the classroom is just as crucial as success on the mat. I am determined to find a college that offers both exceptional academics and a wrestling program that will challenge me to reach my full potential.

Beyond my personal achievements, I find immense fulfillment in giving back to the sport that has given me so much. Coaching youth wrestlers has allowed me to share my knowledge, inspire young athletes, and foster a love for the sport. Witnessing their growth and passion fuels my own drive to continue improving as a wrestler and a mentor.

In my college search, I am seeking an institution that values academic excellence, athletic growth, and a supportive community. I am eager to find a program that will provide me with the resources and opportunities to thrive both academically and athletically. I am confident that my passion, work ethic, and dedication to personal growth make me an ideal fit for any team.
