There are very few days where Mulvane’s Leainnah Landreth isn’t on the wrestling mat. But she is hoping that work translates until success this season.
“For the past four years I’ve been wrestling pretty much year round,” Landreth said. “So in the off season I do club wrestling and we train freestyle and Greco. This past year I’ve have trained with WTC (Wichita Training Center) I love our team and the coaches. Having the privilege to be able to travel with this amazing team to compete at different states. I am most excited this year to hopefully win state and take home that title.”
To combat the speed of each match, Landreth has been trying to slow down the pace.
“This year I am working on slowing down being more intentional with each move I make,” Landreth said. “I tend to go all out and aggressive which has cost me some matches in the past. I’ve been learning to control that much more. I basically worked on my mental approach to how I wrestle each match. Now I think before I just react. Individually my goal is to be the state champ and to just keep further improving my wrestling. For my team I hope to help the girls improve and to become better wrestlers.”
