    Gavin Teasdale is a senior and a member of the wrestling team.

    Teasdale has been wrestling for eight years, and he currently falls into the 132 weight class.

    “Wrestling will definitely affect my life in college. Wrestling is something that I do constantly and it is a huge part of my life. Once I get into college I will really have to buckle down on both academics and my sport,” Teasdale mentioned.

    Teasdale would actually like to go into the MMA, so he does not want to exactly pursue a career with wrestling.

    “One of my favorite memories with wrestling would be going to so many different countries,” Teasdale said.

    Someone who really inspired Teasdale to wrestle was his Young Guns coach.

    “I enjoy wrestling somewhat but sometimes weight cutting is really annoying,” Teasdale mentioned.

    Training on Teasdale’s offseason consists of continuous practices and wrestling tournaments.

    “My goal is to make it to playoffs as a team. I have always wanted to go somewhere and win as a team,” Teasdale said.
