Favorite thing about wrestling: I like the way you feel after you win. It's the best feeling ever. I especially like the way the crowd goes crazy when you win at home.

Favorite past wrestler/coach: Coach Lattimer - He has been very inspiring to me. He always has a positive attitude. He taught me a great deal as a youth wrestler. He is definitely my favorite coach from when I was younger.

Goals for wrestling/life career: I would like to go on and wrestle in college. Some Colleges have already contacted me with interest. I would also like to go on and wrestle in the Olympics some day.

Favorite past wrestler/coach: 4X DI All-American and 2010 NCAA Runner-up, Lance Plamer of Ohio State.

Goals for wrestling/life career: I would like to go to a DI school and wrestle. I hope to be an All-American in College. I really want to be a Cowboy Wrestler at UW.

State Player

Hayden Jones (Mar 2010)

School: Cheyenne Central

145/41 with 68 pins as of the Ron Thon, 2010 State Champion,
State Runner up in 2009, 4x state placer

Favorite thing about wrestling: I like the one on one aspect of wrestling. There is no one else to blame, and no one else to take credit for what happens on the mat. It creates good discipline and teaches you about being accountable for your actions.

Favorite past wrestler/coach: My Dad (Jeff Jones) and Uncle (Preston Hayden) have had the greatest impact on me and my wrestling. Coach Castillon has always kept me working hard on wrestling and other aspects of my life as well.

Goals for wrestling/life career: After high school, I plan on going to college and playing football - most likely at Chadron State.  I'm planning on a degree in Human Biology and on to medical school.  I've wrestled since I was 3 years old and plan on keeping wrestling in my life as a referee, coach and hopefully someday, far, far away.. a wrestling dad. One of my main goals for this year (along with being a State Champ) is to be the 5th in Centrals history to be a 4-year state placer.

Favorite past wrestler/coach: My Coach Bob Bath. He is a great wrestler and a great guy. He is all about sportsmanship. He is quiet but deadly.
