things. In addition to wrestling he is in his 3rd year of tackle
football where he plays Fullback and Middle Linebacker.  Andrew does really well in school and his Fourth grade teacher said that he is both the class clown and the teacher's pet, which is pretty hard to pull off.

 He started wrestling with Champions Wrestling Club when he
was in first grade. It was a natural fit for him because he likes to rough
house and is a tough competitor. When he was in 2nd grade he started
wrestling Freestyle and took 1st in State, 1st at Western
Regionals, and 1st at Asics Kids Nationals. In 2013 he took 2nd
at Superstate, 1st in Freestyle, and was a Freestyle All American.

The Salt Lake Slam for the Intermediate group, and was a Freestyle All American.
