Alex Edwards is a sophomore in high school and a first year wrestler. He is an exceptional young man, developing mental toughness and confidence on and off the mat. As a first year wrestler at 152 lbs, he is in a tough weight class and faces many different forms of adversity. Alex joined the team to be a part of something that he felt he was missing by not participating in a school sport. Through his own desire to improve himself, Alex stepped out of his comfort zone and into the wrestling room where his work ethic and tenacity have driven him to be competitive. He has really been an asset to the team with his dedication and drive pushing him to continue to work out even when he isn't in practice.
