Wrestler Cements Legacy

Joseph Brunson ’25 reached a milestone in his Fort Worth Country Day wrestling career, securing his 109th win in January, breaking and surpassing the previous record of 108 held by Cully Wiseman ’97. The achievement solidifies his place as one of the most successful wrestlers in FWCD history.

A dominant force since joining the School’s wrestling program as a freshman, Brunson placed third in SPC in 2022 before claiming back-toback-to-back championships in 2023, 2024 and 2025. As a junior and senior, he finished as the Prep State RunnerUp. On February 21-22, Brunson competed in the National Prep Wrestling Championships at Lehigh University, having amassed 122 career wins. He placed in the Top 12 wrestlers nationally.

“Joseph’s success extends beyond his athletic achievements,” said Head Wrestling Coach Hugo Muñoz. “When he broke the FWCD win record this year, it could not have been broken by a more deserving wrestler. Joseph is a great leader and teammate who constantly tries to push all the athletes around him to do better.”

Brunson has well surpassed the record, ending his FWCD wrestling career with 124 wins, further cementing his legacy in FWCD wrestling history.
