Why do you believe the star student athlete should be recognized?

Only 17yrs old to make USA National team three times, competing against other National team members all around the world. Uzbekistan two years ago, and past summer won silver at world championship in Bulgaria representing USA. It also takes alot of discipline, cutting and managing weight while giving up many things a teen can enjoy to be disciplined in the sport during training.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star student athlete?

Senior in High School looking forward to prestigious University admission with second to none dedication to the sport while juggling school work and getting on top of the podium at world’s stage. Number 1 ranked athlete in the Nation.

Keep up the great work, William!
