re: Mizzou wrestling #3 (and rising) in the country

When I was in high school, I decided I wanted to be something more than an average high school athlete and set my sights on a prize that many didnt think i can win, beating Shute - the best wrestler in the state. I had to lose a crazy amount of weight to get to his weight class. I then set out to reach his goal alone, without much support from my father or coach. My father rented a room to a young drifter, Carla. I fell in love with her and she helped me stay focused and prevent me from losing sight of my goals.
