Team: University Academy Charter School

2019-2020 dual record (overall, conference):

We are in our second year as a program and we are a Class 1 school. Last year, we won three duals. We are a very young team – every wrestler on last year’s roster was either a freshman or sophomore.

2020-2021 Outlook

Keys to success in the 2020-21 season:

We plan to grow on the development from last year, as it was everyone’s first year ever wrestling. We have a very young squad and I am excited about the future. We are not going to be a team to win duals but we hope to win every match that we lineup against.

Concerns about the lineup or challenges for the team this season:

Our team will be very small for this wrestling season. Our school is still 100% virtual which is leading to low participation numbers in all sports at University Academy.

Coach’s quote on overall thoughts about the team:

We are a very young team but I am very excited about the future of the program. If we can grow on the development from last year then I believe we will surprise some people.

Coach’s quote on expectations for this year’s team:

Since we are a small team I don’t expect to win many duals but I do expect to win matches that we lineup against. Since this is the second year wrestling for all of my guys, I hope to have a state qualifier.
