Connor Herman of Halstead has been thinking about the upcoming wrestling season for some time. He is ready to see where his game stands.
“I am looking forward to seeing all of the hard work pay off,” Herman said.
There were two key areas that Herman focused on throughout the offseason.
“I prepared in the offseason by lifting weights and going to our team camp,” Herman said.
Being able to get up to the standard of the heavyweight division has been something Herman worked on.
“One area I would like to improve on is neutral,” Herman said. “I have worked on that by drilling it and going live in neutral.”
Herman went 36-6 last season and finished fifth in Class 4A, but while he loves wrestling, he is going to play another sport in college.
“My plans for next year is to go to Friends University and play football,” Herman said.
