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

His favorite thing is spending time with his friends while playing the sports he loves and lives for. RJ loves giving his all and leaving everything on the field, especially when he gets to battle with his teammates!


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

RJ says Shohei Ohtani because he is humble and does everything for his team. RJ is a versatile player who is willing to do whatever his team needs him to do.


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

A few years ago, the day before the state wrestling tournament, RJ woke up sick…he couldn’t eat/drink anything & lost 4 lbs in one day. He chose to wrestle the next day, still not able to eat, & gutted out a 4th place finish in a bracket of 22 wrestlers, ending up with 6 matches on the day! All heart!
