Athlete of the Week: Eldon Picou
December 12, 2016
After participating in an event for long enough, milestones are bound to be attained. Even so, for senior Eldon Picou, achieving 100 wrestling wins is a big deal.
“[Getting 100 wins] feels good,” Picou said. “For me, I’m looking at it as just … wrestling for a long time and being a senior. It’s a long road, and we’re still a ways off from state.”
Picou did not stop at 100 wins though, as he went 3-0 on the day, pinning his opponent each time.
“This weekend was just kind of seeing where I was,” Picou said. “Every week, into January, gets tougher, and the December month is pretty much a warmup for January.”
