FINLEY IS A 9TH GRADE STUDENT WHO DECIDED TO GIVE WRESTLING A TRY. HER ATTITUDE IN THE WRESTLING ROOM MAKES HER A VERY COACHABLE ATHLETE. SHE WORKS HARD AT EVERY PRACTICE, AND IT HAS DEFINITELY SHOWN ON THE MAT. SHE STARTED THE SEASON WITH A PERFECT UNDEFEATED BRACKET AT THE ROOKIE WONDER WOMEN TOURNAMENT. HER BRACKET CONSISTED OF 20 OTHER 1ST TIME WRESTLERS, AND SHE WALKED AWAY WITH THE CHAMPIONSHIP BELT. FINLEY BATTLED THROUGH EVERY MATCH, EVEN WHEN SHE WAS DOWN. WATCHING HER CONFIDENCE BUILD THROUGHOUT THE TOURNAMENT WAS JUST AS EXCITING AS WATCHING HER MATCHES. FINLEY WAS ALREADY TRYING TO GIVE BACK TO THE SPORT BY ASSISTING IN THE COMMUNITY NIGHT THAT WAS HELD AT FZE. AFTER A GRUELING PRACTICE, FINLEY CAME BACK TO THE SCHOOL TO PROMOTE THE PROGRAM AND WAS ABLE TO RECRUIT SOME INCOMING 9TH GRADERS TO TRY THE SPORT NEXT YEAR.
FINLEY IS ALSO INVOLVED IN SOCCER.
FINLEY SAYS TENACITY IS CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF AND WILLINGNESS TO MOVE FORWARD. YOU CAN'T BEAT YOURSELF UP OVER LOSSES.
