The Legend of Kyle Dake

Kyle Dake wrestling 

 

Kyle is from Ithaca, New York. As a kid, all he did was wrestle. He easily zipped through his competition in high school, but he had to work very hard as a freshman in college. During his freshman year, he was the only freshman to start for Cornell. He won the NCAA championship 4x. While in college, he was also a 4x All-American. What is special is that he won the NCAA  title in four different weight classes :  (141lbs) (149lbs) (157lbs) (165lbs). In 2013, he won the Hodge trophy which is like a Grammy but for wrestling. In April of 2013 (after his senior year), Kyle went on to continue his wrestling career in the Olympics. He plans to retire in the summer of 2017 from wrestling as whole and focus on being a lawyer.
