Joe captured First Place in the Folkstyle (Collegiate) National Championships held in Cedar Falls, Iowa on April 2nd. He then continued his dominance of the Schoolboy 91 lb. weight class by winning First Place in both the Greco-Roman and Freestyle competitions in Utah. This enabled the 13 year-old Joe to receive the coveted Triple Crown Award that is presented only to those wrestlers who place first nationally in all three styles of wrestling.
Joe was looking to improve his strength and overall fitness in preparation for his quest. He was introduced to Russian Kettlebell training at a wrestling clinic held by Carey Kolat. Joe was then prompted to seek out the area’s top kettlebell trainer and found Phil Ross’ American Eagle MMA & Kettlebell Studio in Ho Ho Kus, NJ. Joe claims that the strength and conditioning that he receives form the kettlebells have given him the edge that he needed to win.
