‘ALWAYS IMPROVING:’ THE ‘COHLTRAIN’ COHLTON SCHULTZ PLANS TO BRING MORE CHAMPIONSHIPS TO TEMPE

Schultz plans to bring an Olympic medal and NCAA championship to Tempe in 2024 while leading the Sun Devils into a new season

Redshirt junior wrestler Cohlton Schultz is 285 pounds of heart and hard work. The Parker, Colorado native continues to impress on a global scale year in and year out for both the Sun Devils and Team USA. 

Schultz, who has been wrestling since the age of four, attended Ponderosa High School in Parker and dominated with 188 wins and only two losses. During that span, he won four straight state championships. When he was 14 years old, Schultz said he got the opportunity to train with the Team USA Senior Greco-Roman World Team at the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, about an hour away from his hometown, Parker.

Eventually, his success became national when he became the No.1 pound-for-pound recruit in the nation, and was the winner of the 2019 Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award. 

Schultz continued to pin helpless opponents while honing his skills with world-class wrestlers and eventually ended up getting attention from the best wrestling programs in the country, including ASU. 

“I had a good enough high school career that I was blessed to get recruited by ASU, where I have had a pretty good career so far,” Schultz said. “I’m still looking to win a national title and bring home a team title.” … rest of story at … Statepress.com/article/2023/10/cohlton-schultz-wrestling-profile
