A local wrestler is working toward his goal before heading to college next year.
CLEAR LAKE, Iowa – For our Student-Athlete of the Week, KIMT searches for students who are not only motivated on the playing surface but also in the classroom. One local wrestler has that drive, desire, and determination – leading us to Eric Faught of Clear Lake.
One thing that Eric Faught continues to stay dedicated to is his studies, knowing that good grades can lead to a great future.
“I’m working on my grades and I’m getting some college credits in at the same time, just do my best and be ready for the next step,” said Faught.
Before the next step, Faught has some goals he wants to accomplish as he enters the season ranked number one in the 132-pound wight class.
“Finish the job, get a state title, do what I’ve been trying to the past three years, and hopefully, finally get it done this year,” added Faught.
Coach Lester says Eric is more than qualified to get the job done.
Either way, Faught will take his talents to the mats of Upper Iowa next season, a place he is excited to.
