1-25-2005 So it didn’t come as a surprise when Josh (Novi class of ’03) and his brother Ryan (Novi class of ’01) both garnered District, Regional and State Championships with the regularity of Ashlee Simpson appearing on a magazine cover. Both had incredibly stellar careers as Novi Wildcats, and it was certain they would go on to compete at the college level. But, to say they’re merely competing is a gross understatement. Interestingly enough they have both matriculated to the University of Michigan, and both Ryan and Josh are doing extremely well for the #4 Nationally Ranked Michigan Wolverine Wrestling Team. Just last week against nationally ranked Penn State, Ryan, weighing in at 165, and Josh, weighing in at 141, both pinned their respective opponents, leading their squad to victory. And they are no slouches in the classroom, either. Both are enrolled in the school of Kinesiology, which involves intense study in the principles of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement. So they are not only displaying great proficiency on the mat but with the books as well. Ryan already has two varsity letters, and Josh will earn a varsity letter this season as a Redshirt Freshman. Both have accomplished a lot, and have bright futures ahead of them. There is no telling where there efforts may lead? National Champions like their father? Why not? Or, on to the Olympics perhaps? Hey, if you can dream it you can do it… But, I guess it doesn’t really matter for now. At present they are enjoying the college life, getting a great education, and excelling at a sport they love. And for the rest of us, we get to say you’re from Novi! It’s a match we can all cheer for. (c) 2005 Novi
