Shalek Colon '16 Recruiting Profile

What separates me from everybody else is consistency. I've made a consistent improvement along with a consistent level of motivation to carry me through my wrestling career. I'm just as motivated and driven as I was freshman year.  During my freshman year I didn't start, but I had a Varsity record of 1-2 at 113.  Sophomore year, I started and was a conference finalist (Non-placer at regionals) with a record of 17-13 at 113.  Junior year, I went 38-7 and was a conference finalist (Non-placer at regionals) at 120.  I transferred from Tallwood High to Oscar Smith before my senior year this year and compiled a record of 38-4, became a conference champ, regional champ, and State Runner-Up at 126.  I characterize myself as somebody who is humble, but I am confident enough in my ability to where I believe I should not and can not be beaten.  I am hungry for a chance to continue my career in college and take advantage of my high ceiling.  My plans for college are to start at 141 because I have devoted much time to lifting, getting stronger and growing.  I plan on going up 1 weight class each year until I end my senior year of college at 165, hopefully.
