Makenzie Usher

I started when I was in second grade. I grew up in Milton, WI and joined the youth program at the time. That was when I fell in love with wrestling. My turning point in this sport was when I was showing up to practices and tournaments as the only female wrestler there. It gave me that drive to keep up with the boys and prove I was just as good. A few accolades of mine would be high school state qualifier and state placer!

Growing up often as the only female in the room, Makenzie channeled that experience into fuel. She developed a relentless offensive style and an unshakeable drive to prove herself, finishing her high school career as a state qualifier and state placer in Milton, WI.

I coach for the girls high school team at Craig High School during the fall-winter wrestling season. I also have coached at AWA (Askren Wrestling Academy) for the girls classes. I coach because I love the discipline and lessons this sport has taught me. I want to be a stepping stone for these athletes to become not only just great wrestlers, but great people in the real world.
