Quinten

What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

What Quinten loves most about wrestling is the individual accountability. In wrestling, there’s no team to fall back on — your success depends entirely on the work and grit you put in. Quinten loves both the physical and mental challenges of wrestling. He believes the discipline and toughness he’s gained from the sport have been key to his success in other sports as well. For him, it's a sport that demands not only strength and endurance, but also focus, strategy, and resilience.

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Quinten’s biggest fan, strongest supporter, and most influential coach is also the person who inspires him the most—his dad. Their bond goes far beyond the mat, built on shared goals, trust, and countless hours of hard work together. His dad’s unwavering belief in him and constant presence in his corner have played a huge role in shaping Quinten’s drive, character, and success.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

As parents, we were most proud of Quinten when he won his third title as Midwest Nationals Champion. It was a moment that reflected not just his talent, but his relentless work ethic and dedication. What makes his accomplishments even more impressive is that he has maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout school, all while committing countless extra hours on the wrestling mat. Balancing academics and athletics at such a high level takes an extraordinary amount of discipline at his age. We are so proud!
