How has your year gone?
Flournoy: “So far my year has gone well as I have had some highs and lows but that is expected in a college sport. I started off the year pretty slow as I did not get to wrestle hardly any last year due to my injury so it took a while to get adjusted back to wrestle let alone a college pace. But now as the season is winding down I feel like myself and picking up the pace and as I am really excited for conferences tournament”.
Any personal goals?
