Mya Flores is a sophomore and a first year member of the wrestling team.

Flores loves the toughness and intensity of the sport.

“My favorite thing about wrestling is challenging myself and beating my male opponents,” said Flores.

Even though this is Flores’s first year wrestling, she is not a newcomer to the toughness that this sport brings. Flores has a background in UFC.

“One reason why I started wrestling was to gain an advantage on other opponents with a wrestling background,” said Flores.

Wrestling has taught Flores hard work and self- discipline.

“A main challenge I had this season was conditioning, but after coming to practice everyday working hard and pushing myself I was able to overcome this challenge,” said Flores.

Flores looks forward to  finishing the season strongly.
