Shawn’s final record was  48-1. “I was just so overwhelmingly excited, it just felt so surreal and I was relieved and happy to know that hard work does pay off,” said Shawn.

“I’m super excited for him, he has worked his tail off all year long and it showed this weekend,” said Coach Flinchum. “Shawn exemplifies all the characteristics of a class act competitor and I am so happy for him! Shawn will be great at whatever he chooses to do in life” he said.
