Cultural Exchange Bio: Jake Fredricksen

d3wrestle.com will be posting bios and updates from the Division III Cultural Exchange trip for 2012. The group departs on May 23rd and returns on June 2nd. Today’s post is a bio of trip wrestler Jake Fredricksen.

I have been wrestling since i was six years old. I was a state qualifier from Woodstock High School in Illinois.  After high school I chose to go to school and wrestle for UW Whitewater.  I had a good freshman year but could not make our line up.  I am now a 2x national qualifier for UW-Whitewater and really looking forward to my senior year. I’ve only been out of the country once and that’s to Cancun, Mexico so i really haven’t left. The things i looking forward to the most would have to be just seeing other the different styles of wrestling in the other countries and just getting the experience of wrestling with those guys.
