Athlete of the Week: Eldon Picou

Jacob Clanton, Sports Editor

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.”
