This year Mac-Hi wrestling is ready to have a great season. One of the wrestlers, Marcel Brinkley, says, “We are ready for a phenomenal season!” Even their practices show the dedication these athletes have for the sport. Some sweat so much they change their shirts two times within one practice.
Most of their tournaments take up their whole weekend, but that just shows the love they have for the sport. Some of the wrestlers even come to school at 6:30 in the morning to work out and run just so they will make weight for the upcoming tournament. Every single wrestler on the team puts in 100 percent effort.
And this year there is even the only girl wrestler on the team, Yolanda Soto. This brave sophomore is the only girl taking on this tough sport.Most girls don’t take on this sport but Yolanda said “I decided to do wrestling,because I have been wanting to join for a while but could never join till this year” Even though she is the only girl on the team, the boys don’t seem to mind. The people that wrestle her even say, “You can tell she is giving all her effort into it.” The boys don't mind having her, and she is a great new addition to the team. Her optimistic spirit and ambition show through in practice and in matches.
But the real inspiration and leaders on the team are the captains , Riley Chester, Kaden kilburg , Chase Larson , and Spencer Wells. They help out the team tremendously. “They push us to our full ability, push us to go further, encourage us to try harder, which makes us a better wrestler,” said Dylan Quist. So if would like to see these wrestlers in action they have a home tournament December 17th!
