After earning an individual state title his junior year Luke Potter is looking for a repeat this season. Wrestling at 132 pounds Potter was one of the main reasons the Trojans finished second place at state with 143.5 points.
This year Potter is hoping that all his off-season work has prepared him for another deep state run.
“I’ve been wrestling with Boo Dryden and competing in offseason tournaments along with wrestling with the rest of my team,” Potter said.
Even after a successful year Potter still knows he has things to work on, to improve this season.
“I would like to get better at finishing my matches faster with pins,” Potter said. “I’ve learned to set up my shots better and finish my takedowns.”
Last year Potter, apart from winning state, finished with a 45-7 win-loss record and he’s excited for another season wrestling at state. Potter is also excited for freestyle season and Fargo.
Potter has big goals for his senior season and he knows he needs to make it count and not just for himself.
“My goal is to improve as much as I can with my team and to make my partners as good as they are willing to get,” Potter said.
