Another reason why I believe Andy Hurla will be a very good college wrestler is that he loves wrestling and has a burning desire to succeed in wrestling. He never gives up and works hard every year to improve. Andy reminds me of the stories I have read about this year's Master golf champion from Cedar Rapids Iowa. He did not even make the starting golf team his freshman year at Drake. As I recall it said that he stayed with it until he was the fifth player as a senior at Drake. From this humble golf beginning he decides to launch a pro golf career. He starts out on several of the mini pro golf tours for several years and keeps plugging away at it. He only made about $7,000 in his first year on one of these mini tours but he said he kept getting a little better each year. He worked his way up to the Nike tour when he was about 29 years old and set a record for earnings of about $500,000. The next year he made the PGA tour won one tournament and over a million dollars in earnings. This year he wins the Masters. It is incredible story of humble beginnings in a sport but working hard and never giving up on the sport that he loved. I see Andy Hurla as that type of wrestler at all levels (kids, high school and now college). I know he has been an inspiration to a lot of young men in that Aquinas wrestling room.
