Personal Statement

My name is Aiden Xayaphachan-McMahan, I am 16 yrs old and in my Sophomore year of high school (10th Grade). I am 5'8 and weigh 155 lbs. In my Freshman and Sophomore years of high school, I started on the JV football team and traveled with the Varsity football team as a sub-in. I also threw discus and shotput for my winter Track & Field team in my Freshman year. Sophomore spring Track & Field, I'm Pole Vaulting. After the football season ended, I decided to make wrestling my primary sport as I feel my athletic abilities are better suited for wrestling. When I tried out for high school wrestling team, I became the Varsity wrestler for the 157 lbs weight class during my Sophomore year. I am extremely goal-oriented and motivated,  striving to become a 1AA, D2 or D3 wrestler while earning my Masters Degree in Criminology and Cyber Security.  I am working hard on and off the wrestling mat and in and out of the classroom to obtain these goals. In my time attending high school,  I will be taking college courses,  as I plan to graduate high school with not only my diploma but also a 2-year associates degree.  During the off-season, my goal is to work as hard as possible to become stronger,  and leaner,  and attend camps and workshops to further improve my skills to help not just myself but my team. I have an extraordinary support system from my family and coaches, and I'm incredibly grateful for all the opportunities and experiences my parents have been able to provide me. I look to them the most for guidance and to help mold my future,  so that I can make the most of my abilities.
