“100 career wins is a huge milestone for a high school wrestler. Averaging 25 wins for all 4 seasons is a tough feat to accomplish. Wyatt has put in so much time and effort in the season as well as off season preparing for this accomplishment. Wyatt is very focused and determined, but I'm not sure he was worried about the 100 win milestone, he just wrestled who was in front of him. Wyatt is an athlete that all coaches appreciate having. His self motivation and discipline is second to none at West Washington. He is a very goal oriented athlete that will not let anything stand in his way of accomplishing what he sets his mind to,” shared West Washington Head Wrestling Coach, Mr. Dennis Tankersley.
