Personal Statement

Hello my name is Tommy Hernandez; I am a hard worker and fast learner. I started wrestling my freshman year and have been a three year letterman. I have qualified for state all three years and became the Arizona AIA Div. IV 106 pound State Champion this year. I dedicated myself to wrestling after my sophomore year, before that I was a two sport athlete. I believe in leading by example, my freshman year I had no idea what I was doing on the mat, my record this year is 62-2. I live for challenges and thrive under pressure and look forward to taking my skills to the next level. I know I have a difficult task in front of on my quest to becoming a two time state champion, but I welcome the challenge. There is always room for improvement
