Welcome to athletes in action, I'm, Wiley, Baker, Anne, Arundel County. We continue to travel through stopping at the school sporting, the red white and blue Old Mill High School in Millersville visiting in with the Patriot wrestling squad and head coach, Jim Grimm.

B

A

Jim Grimm is estatic about the potential of his young squad. I'm.

B

Super excited about these guys, man, we're very young, start out the season. You know with two tough losses, but you know the work ethic in the room is just phenomenal. Being.

A

A young squad being enthusiastic and improving every practice.

C

Is key and we work hard every day and we always push ourself in there to get better. You work with the younger kids to help them achieve what they want. Patriot.

A

Wrestling leaders see bright lights ahead. This season.

D

Our team is looking pretty good this year we have a couple couple of stacked, returners.

E

Coming back actually have a great team initiating I'm, really happy I think we can go out of way honestly.

B

A

Coach and co-captains are humbled by the rich history and tradition of Old Mill wrestling all.

C

The alumni from like my freshman year, we had Ron Vaughters, who was a great wrestler when we had Solomon ride down a lot of them and I come in and watch us it's kind of fun to see them. You.

B

Know I talked about the truce in all the time and these kids know that they got it. They got a standard to uphold. To you know, Moe Russell has been successful since the school opened. You know you look at all our banners and it's you know. It's been a lot of work from a lot of guys and we just we feed off of that. So these kids, they take that to heart and I talk about what it means to be a normal Russell, not just in the room but out of the room in the classroom.

B

Academically in the neighborhood.

E

Great scene, like some of them I, come in and watch those Russell. There's no I could show off for them, and let them know that I'm keeping a history.

D

Alive so this year, I'm trying to involve everyone and coorporate them as one big family, I guess I should say so. It feels actually feels great because I know going onto the mat. Everyone know that I'm, like don't, want that's supposed to go out there and support everyone and go out there and get the win for the team and everyone's looking at me. And then, if I do good I know the team's gonna do.

A

Good as a co-captain, leading by example, and relating to the less experienced wrestlers about digging deep inside, is important.

E

You know I've really talked to people go, is having heart like I, don't care how if you want to lose, but if you have heart no matter what and though you did the best on the mat well,.

C

I've been like wrestling in a long time and I've been pushing myself offseason to get better so I mean I kind of leave, most of the younger kids and some of the seniors look up to me. The.

A

Team is really closely hit on and off the mats. We.

E

Don't really call it senior calls all family wall brothers, you all have each other's back, so we are there for each other and I think we all believe in each other when you type it on the mat off.

D

The mats, we really hang out a lot most of the time. We only talk about wrestling. We just talk about other stuff because you know wrestling is just there's just wrestling.

A

Wrestling practice is rigorous, but academics are priority right.

C

After practice, I either go to the gym or go home and do my homework make sure all my grades are right there and check it. Make sure that all my weights good and that make sure if my grades are good.

E

So what all student athletes do to being? First meaning grades, come first. If you don't do two grades, you can trust with us Kwesi way. I worked in my household I. Don't come home with to get A's and B's I can't wrestle so top-notch physical.

A

Health is absolutely critical to being a successful wrestler.

E

Russian season I mostly eat, maybe fruits vegetables I eat the protein I. Sometimes I may go off. My diet. I eat a little bit, but I made sure I stayed maintain my weight. I don't go overboard. Just.

C

Watching your weight checking your weight all the time you gotta eat the right fish and not eat the right foods. You gotta cut some calories out to make weight.

A

The old mill wrestling fraternity is tight. That includes player coach relationships.

B

It's not so much, you know the wins and losses you know, although I want to win it everything we do, but it's all these kids all the time that it's not always about that. It's about. You know the stories that they're gonna tell the camaraderie the relationships that they're building right now, it's so much more important than just a win coach is.

E

Like a second I guess, you could say second dad does he like took us in and helped us all out, some of us and we have a lot of new wrestlers in there and like basically, he just took a one-on-one help them learn.

A

The game to put a bow on another triumphant wrestling season, in my opinion, it's it's.

B

Already been successful, we're not done, but the success to me is getting the team situated getting them here to practice every day. When we first start and it's they're, there I mean they. They you tell they want to be in the room, that's the successful. For me, our goal is the same: every year start the season out. Our goal was when county regionals of states and that will never change thanks.

A

For tuning in I'm, Wiley Baker I'll talk to you on the court on the field or on the air with more of an Arundel County Public Schools athletes in action.
