With about half of his senior season left to go, Wichita West’s James Moore is leaving it all out on the line for one last time. To prepare for those big end of season meets and duals, Moore has been putting in the extra work and hours on the mats outside of practice.
“Right now I’m preparing with a few guys from my team, Chance Johnson and Mencali En, with the guidance of our head coach Jason Brown,” Moore said. “We are getting ready for the Greater Wichita Athletic League and regionals coming up in the next few weeks.”
As the year comes to a near end for Moore, he knows he has just a few more things he wants to accomplish before the season comes to an end. One of those being what every wrestler hopes to achieve, and that is placing at one of the biggest tournaments of all.
“Some goals I have approaching the end of my senior season is to place as state,” Moore said. “I also want to better myself on a few of my moves that need a little bit of work.”
Plans are still up in the air for Moore. After graduation in May, Moore has aspirations to take a different path other than college, but also continue on with his education in another field.
“As for future plans, I’m not really thinking about college as of right now,” Moore said. “I’m looking more into joining a union or a trade school.”
