newlenoxpatriot.com Sports the New Lenox Patriot | February 1, 2018 | 41 Athlete of the Week 10 Questions with Jimmie Olds Jimmie Olds is a senior on the Lincoln-Way West wrestling team. He was the 220-pound champion at the SWSC Tournament, and as of Jan. 25, he holds a 34-3 record, which ranks him fourth in the state by illinoismatmen.com. How’d you get started in wrestling? My dad wrestled in junior high, and when I found out there was a wrestling club in school in fifth-grade at Nelson Ridge, I joined the team. What did you learn last year wrestling behind accomplished wrestler Jake Dudeck? I knew that Jake Dudeck was going to be starting on varsity, so I just stayed patient, completed junior year on junior varsity, got better, and knew I was going to be on varsity this year. I got to wrestle a lot with him during practices, learned some stuff from him. Coach Brian Glynn told me that next year was going to be my year. What’s something from wrestling that you could take away as a life lesson? Don’t get too full of yourself, stay humble. I had an experience in the past at a JV conference meet. I was [seeded] No. 1, and I ended up losing in the semifinals because I was too cocky. What’s your ideal way to win a match? I like pinning kids. I just feel like it gets me more hyped at the team, too. I don’t like pinning kids in the first [period] because I feel I don’t get a good workout, so probably the second period would be best. What’s your greatest achievement in wrestling, so far? Winning the Tom Lahey Invitational (Jan. 20). I wrestled it last year because Dudeck was out, and I placed fifth, so to come back this year and win it was great. I knew I was going to make it to the finals. I didn’t know what would happen from there, but after winning it I was lost for words. I was really excited about that. It was a big accomplishment for me. If you won the lottery, what’s the first thing you’d buy? I’d probably help out some of the programs I grew up doing. Like, New Lenox Wrestling, I’d buy them new mats, and the New Lenox Mustangs, I’d buy them new equipment, and then I’d buy my parents something – probably a house. What’s something most people don’t know about you? I’m terrible at every other sport besides wrestling. I’m bad at basketball, golf, tennis and all that stuff. People probably think because I’m 22nd Century Media File Photo big and athletic that I’m good at other things, but I think anywhere besides the mat, I’m just terrible. Who is your favorite teammate? I want to say Jordan Telez because we’re both goofy, and we like to have fun. We usually sit by each other, so we like to joke around and have fun between matches, and we wrestle together a decent amount in practice. If calories, weight cutting didn’t matter, what would your ideal post-match meal be? Probably The Tractor Pull from The Country Charm [in New Lenox]. It’s probably the biggest thing they have there. It’s one of my favorites. (According to the The Country Charm’s website, The Tractor Pull is a skillet with ham, sausage, bacon, onions, American and Swiss cheeses topped with an order of biscuits and gravy.) If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be? Travis Pastrana. He does motocross, monster truck driving, [rally racing] – he’s living the life, honestly, if you ask me.
