CSLV: What got you into wrestling in the first place?

KC: “My dad is the person who got me into wrestling. I grew up with this sport and have had a passion for it ever since.” 

CSLV: What is your favorite aspect of wrestling for Maine West?

KC: “My favorite aspect of MW wrestling is the family that it creates… To know each other and create bonds that will last forever.”

CSLV: How would you describe your style on the mat?

KC: “I describe my style of wrestling as pain even though I want to pin you in a match, I want to make it hurt and pin you.”

CLSV: Who is the best teammate you’ve had in wrestling or best leader you’ve played with?

KC: “I don't have the best teammate but out of all the guys, the girls are the best. Before I was the only girl on the team and took a lot of stuff from the boys but, once my girls came around it feels like nothing can stop me. A guy's support is good but it's not as good as having your girls behind you.”
