Two talented wrestlers from Kelly Walsh High School, Will Alt and Ethan Hague, are set to continue their athletic careers at Western Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs. The duo participated in a signing ceremony at their high school just days before their graduation, marking a significant milestone in their journey.

Shared Journey

Will Alt expressed a sense of belonging during his visit to Western Wyoming. “They said they wanted to see me on a visit, and it kind of felt like home there. Everybody was super kind and they have the best wrestling program,” he shared. Ethan Hague echoed similar sentiments, noting the competitive culture and the hard work required, which he looks forward to embracing.

Both athletes highlighted the unique opportunity of moving forward with a teammate. Will noted, “Having somebody that I’ve already roomed with, I already know how they function and wrestle with them, we have something in common.” This camaraderie is expected to ease their transition into college life and athletics.

Looking Ahead

While Will Alt is still undecided on his major, Ethan Hague plans to study business. Their commitment to both academics and athletics reflects the values instilled at Kelly Walsh High School, where their wrestling team is known for its strong sense of brotherhood.

The recruitment of two teammates to a high-caliber team like Western Wyoming is a rare occurrence, underscoring the talent and dedication of these young athletes. As they prepare to embark on this new chapter, the support from their community and the shared experience of wrestling together will undoubtedly serve as a strong foundation.
