2025 brought in some fun new adventures! Grateful for it all and excited for what is to come in 2026! 🎉

Just want to start by giving a huge shoutout to — it was an honor to compete in the inaugural season. I had a lot of fun wrestling in Claw’s format, especially the pylon component. For anyone unfamiliar, in top/bottom position you can score an extra point by knocking over one of three pylons on the mat. It made for some fun strategy work… (even training with foam rollers to get ready for it 😂).

The Cradle City Cicadas came up just short in Super Dual #1, falling 37–36 to the Leopards, but competing in this team format was a blast. It was an honor to compete alongside Ethan Rotondo, , , , , and , and it was an awesome experience to be part of something new in the sport.

Looking forward to what’s next for . 🪲
