New @GNN_Sports_:

The reigning CHSAA 112-pound champion, @SJCIWrestling junior and Niagara Falls resident Austin Zimmerman knows others aim to knock him off the proverbial mountain Sunday.

His plan?

Keep working hard and continue making SJCI proud. https://t.co/47Hpq39xWy

BUFFALO - Austin Zimmerman was born to be a wrestler. It just took him some time to figure it out.

Once he tried the sport, everything just clicked.

Baseball was young Austin's primary sport growing up, even though his teammates told him he would be a good wrestler. This winter, Zimmerman erupted into one of the top wrestlers locally on the Monsignor Martin scene. Along with a 41-5 record, Zimmerman won the 110?pound championship over St. Mary's of Lancaster's Quinn Martin last Sunday and helped the Marauders clinch a ninth consecutive league title, tying the record set by St. Francis from 1981 to 1989.
