I started wrestling in 5th grade and got started in this club "strong and courageous". When I got started in that club I was really bad but I started practicing 4 days a week and wrestling in tournaments on Saturdays and I never placed. Then I went to the state tournament in 6th grade and went 0-2. I didn't place. The next year in 7th grade I went 3-2 and still didn't place. I came back in 8th grade and on the state tournament without having a point scored on me. One month later I won the East Coast Nationals in Virginia Beach.
