Dillon has a contagious, bubbly personality and he makes friends everywhere he goes. He loves life and everyone in it! He is a fearless little tease! The crazier the better, from bungee jumping to riding bulls, to wake boarding, Dillon is game to try anything!!! Last year, was a picture perfect season for him. He won Super State and then went on to compete in Freestyle and Greco for the first time. He was undefeated during the Greco and Freestyle season, making Dillon a Triple Crown State Champion.

Dillon strives to be the best in everything he does and he is always willing to help out. You can see him at the tournament, wrestling his match one minute and cheering on a buddy the next. He’s all about sportsmanship and wants everyone to do good. He’s always quick to hug his opponent and tell them good job with a pat on the back.

Dillon is so excited and proud to be named Utah USA Wrestling Athlete of the Week!!!
