Moab’s youth wrestler Austin Wright Paris, 10, just finished up a great year of wrestling. He began his 2017-2018 season in September, competing at the Rocky Mountain Nationals Cosmic Clash in Denver, Colorado. Since then, he went on to compete in wrestling tournaments across the country, earning 15 national titles, four outstanding wrestler awards and all five special awards given by the Rocky Mountain Nationals (Triple Crown, World Championship Belt, Gold Gear, Tri-State belt and The Ring of Fame). When asked about what he liked best about his season, Austin said being a two-time Utah State Triple Crown winner and the honor of being All American at the Virginia Holiday and the Heartland duals. He also loves getting to travel and see new places. Austin is the son of Wyland and Holly Paris. [Photo courtesy of Holly Paris]
