Since last year, the team has gotten a new head coach: Mr. Ken Thurman. “He is a good role model and really inspires me to work harder against my rivals.” Alex Golden, eighth grade, said of him. “My biggest rival is Collin O’Connor or Walrus as he is better known. We are matched very evenly.” Since the season started, the team shared some of their experiences and about the team so far this year. “I joined the wrestling team again this year because I want to stay in shape and lose weight.” Joel Nixon, eighth grade, said. “I have been wrestling since sixth grade at Clay Middle School.” They got new singlets this year with a new and bold design. They have the Clay red and black with a Trojan head on the front with the red and black swirled in. There are three weight classes, the lightweight, medium, and heavyweight classes. There are many smaller specific classes inside these groups. Practices prove to be very challenging. They consist of lots of conditioning like running and core workouts. Nixon and Golden both agreed that a real major reason they joined is because the people in it. “Wrestling is hard, but encouraging others is a big part and really helps you feel better and try harder,” Golden said.
