How long have you’ve been wrestling?

I started wrestling when I was a freshman.

What was your inspiration to join wrestling?

My inspiration was seeing other girls join and didn’t care what other people thought and I wanted to try it out cause it looks like a great sport.

How do you prepare yourself for a tournament/match?

As a team we help each other prepare and that really helps a lot. Before one of us goes in to start their match, we put our hands on their head and pray.

Is it difficult to make the weight cut?

It isn’t difficult to make the weight cut because you just have to maintain your diet and not over eat and run.

What is your daily routine?

My daily routine when I go to practices is we work out with the coaches and the team and wrestle hard.
