Wrestling showed me that I'm tougher than I ever imagined. It pushed me beyond my mental and physical limits, instilling an inner strength that still guides me. Today, I embrace physically demanding challenges with the confidence that wrestling gave me - no matter how tough it gets, I can finish. If you're a kid reading this, remember, it's hard work, but the rewards down the line are extraordinary and fulfilling. #LetsWrestle @USWFoundation

The wrestling might be shaky at times, but from wrestler guitar solos to coaches singing a cappella, no one opens a wrestling meet like the Taft Eagles! @tom_angsten #NoMercy
