Q: Picture yourself a year ago, thinking back could you have pictured yourself as 4th in the state for wrestling?

A: No, it kinda just happened.

 

Q: What was your inspiration to keep you on the mat for as long as you could?

A: I don’t know, I just didn’t want to let myself down, I knew I had the potential to do what I did, so I wanted to do it.

 

Q: Do you have a “good luck” tradition that you do every time before you go on the mat that you believe brings you fortune?
