This month, Senior Max Hanson is in the student spotlight.  Hanson has done wrestling since he was young, and has just finished off a tournament in Pennsylvania going 5-3 club-wise. Hanson also finished his junior season with an incredible 74-27 record. The Titan Times managed to bring him in for an interview to get his perspective on wrestling.

A: "I started wrestling when I was around 8 years old, did it for a couple years and then finally picked it back up my freshman year of high school."

Q: What are your goal for wrestling this season?

A: "Definitely to make at least all-states school wise."

Q: How have your coaches impacted you wrestling-wise during your tenure here?

A: "My coaches have helped me a lot during my time here, they never put me down if I didn’t know a specific move, they helped me improve and learn it and I was never shamed for not knowing how to execute something."

Q: After High School, How do you plan to continue your wrestling journey?

A: "I might join a Jiu-Jitsu Gym, but besides that, I think this will be my final year for wrestling."

Q: Is there any wrestler or UFC fighter that you model your game after?

A: "Definitely Khabib for his grappling and takedown defense, and Charles Oliveira for his perfection of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu."
