PJ Duke named recipient of Junior Dan Hodge Trophy

NEWS


As a self-proclaimed four-year-old maniac, PJ Duke was tearing up the house. His father, Peter, a New York City police officer, was gone most of the day, leaving his mother, Annie, to attempt to pacify the rambunctious preschooler.

“I am the first in my family to wrestle,” PJ Duke explained. “Wrestling was a way to control me, wear me out and get me tired.”

His first two years in the new sport were rough. Wins were less frequent than tears. But Duke stuck with it, and after some generous bribery from his father, on-the-mat success quickly followed.
