What it Takes to be a Sheldon Wrestler

As the wrestling season is midway through and coming to our last home match, the members of the team have been reflecting upon the best moments that they had during their season. Senior Cole Meyer, who is on the Sheldon wrestling team, said, “This season has been good for me and the team. We have developed a good relationship amongst each other and we all like to have fun and work hard. And most of this is due to the coaching staff and the leaders in the room.”

While this season came with many triumphs, there were some obstacles that followed as well. Sophomore Nathan Mellow described some of the challenges that he faced in this season: “One of the biggest challenges I’ve come across would have to be cutting weight. It’s a really big component of wrestling so I have to make sure to stay on top of it.” He followed up with also making sure he’s still eating enough to maintain it.

Despite any other challenges of the season, senior Owen Oliver had some pretty big achievements: ”One of my biggest accomplishments was going 5-0 at a tournament this season; it was a great moment for me and I was glad to spend it with the rest of my teammates.”
