The Liberty North Men’s Wrestling team’s most recent achievements are the Junior Varsity’s win with a final score of 45-30 and Varsity’s win of 41-33. Many successes come with positive impacts on the wrestlers.

“Wrestling has just helped me stay out of trouble and gives me something to do. And doing good in school means I can wrestle, so it keeps me focused,” senior Trevor Thorn said. Thorn is continuing his wrestling career at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. Both Thorn and senior Nathan Sola believe that Coach Logan Searle benefitted them the most whether that be teaching them or helping them grow as people. However, it can be a very mentally demanding sport, and there can be many hard obstacles.
“Overcoming the mental ability of wrestling is hard because it’s 90% mental and 10% physical,” Sola said.
Women’s Wrestling has been a part of Liberty North since 2018. Wrestling is a sport that requires both mental and physical devotion. They recently won against Lee’s Summit 30-24 on Febuary 1.
“It takes a lot of mental preperation to get through it. I definetely have to get out of my head. But other than that, I just step on the mat and let everything else go. I’ve thrown out a lot and definitely improved since I started,” senior Naudia Fuimanono said.
