Varsity Wrestling Conference Tournament
On January 10th, NECP held a varsity Wrestling tournament. I interviewed two wrestlers afterward. Isaiah Simmons is a first-year wrestler with a lot of potential and Christian Test, is a veteran wrestler, and one of our best on the team! I ask them a couple of questions regarding their goals for the sport. The first question I asked was, “What is one of the goals that the team would like to complete?” Simmons answered, "[For the NECP team] To show other teams what we can do on the mat.” “To take every team member to states and take home the trophy,” Test replied. The second question I asked was, "What's the hardest part of being a wrestler?” Simmons said, ”Saying you can, [even] when you feel like you can’t. Also, always having the mindset of victory!” ”To choose to eat wisely and to limit or increase your food intake so you can make weigh-ins,” Test responded.
