’22 Will Wahlberg

138
Brief info

"Wrestling came into my life while I was just a freshman at the Abbey. It took a lot of convincing, but after just two practices in the heat of the wrestling room, I loved it: the adrenaline, tough work, and most of all, the camaraderie. There is nothing like having your team right there to cheer you on during a match, or keep you motivated to finish that hard workout, always pushing you forward. Being a part of Abbey wrestling and serving as a captain of the team was an honor, and my Abbey career would not have been the same without it."

“I can almost guarantee that Will Wahlberg will succeed largely because of his ” No quit ” attitude and resilient nature. If knocked down, he will bounce back up and rest assured he will never quit. I know he is a fine and exemplary young man – one to be emulated by his peers. This is just one reason Will was chosen to be captain of the wrestling team.”
Coach Mike McLarney

Quotes

Outward Bound, Shane Stump, Leader
“Will has a remarkable energy that he brings to each day and each encounter both with other individuals and challenges.”

Jim Ruggféro, Scout Troop 382, for over 35 years
“Based on his exemplary performance in scouting, dedication to the Scout Oath, and Law in his daily life, I recommend William Wahlberg, who deserves the Eagle Scout rank.
I am confident Mr. Wahlberg will honor this recognition and live up to its obligations to the limit of his ability. The one outstanding point Will has shown to me is that an Eagle Scout is Cheerful. I know of no occasion when we have been together that he did not show his positive attitude, confidence, and bright smile. While along the way fulfilling his commitment to duty to God, others, and himself through his church, community, the outdoors, school, and sports.
