Wrestling Season

My wrestling season begin's this monday October 10th. Wrestling is my life i've been doing it since the 7th grade. Wrestling has shaped me into the person I am today. My best friend Mikey Guillory, and my brother  Matthew Kleamenakis talked me into wrestling after hurricane Katrina. It was a rough time for me, and i think wrestling help me get over it some what. If it wasn't for them I would be playing basketball, I couldn't even imagine me now. Wrestling if you ever watch is a really tough sport, and it takes a lot of discipline, and dedication, it's rough on the body, and it puts you in the best shape of your life. In high school i was a 4x all state, 2x all-metro, 4x state placer, and I am 2x state champion. I was also ranked top 20 in the country as a freshman. I love the sport, and everything about it. It's so competitive, and challenging that's how I'm drawn in. I started getting recruited as a junior in high school. There was about 5 different schools interested in me, including Princeton, and Navy. I was almost definite about wrestling in college by the end of my junior year. It was Wartburg that caught my eye the most. You would wonder what is a Louisiana boy doing in Iowa. People back home would look at me crazy when I said i'm going to iowa for school. Honestly it's the people that made me decide to come here. Everyone is so friendly, and caring. I have never been treated so well by random people. Wartburg has a rich tradition in wrestling. They have 19 consecutive conference titles, in the past 8 years they have 7 national titles. Thats just amazing to achieve that. Coach Miller only excepts greatness, and he strives for perfection. I plan to become a big part of this team, and also become a national champion one day.
