Joaquin’s Journey to Wrestling Success
Joaquin’s acceptance into the University of Michigan wrestling program didn’t happen overnight. His journey has been marked by years of rigorous training, setbacks, and personal growth.

From an early age, Joaquin demonstrated an interest in sports, trying his hand at various activities before discovering his passion for wrestling. Once he found his calling, he threw himself into the sport with unwavering commitment. Early mornings, grueling practices, and a relentless drive to improve became a part of his daily routine.
