Former Rapids Wrestler Justin Tritz had this to say

I believe a person is shaped by the people that surround them and the experiences they have growing up. Being a part of the Wisconsin Rapids wrestling program is one of the most positive experiences a person can have. You learn you can push yourself beyond what you think are your limits and in turn you find you can do things you nevered dreamed you could do. The lessons you learn carry over into all aspects of your life, and therefore you learn what it takes to be sucessful in anything you do. You also learn that the only things worth achieving are the hardest things to achieve. As I get older I am starting to realize that life passes by and all we are left with is our memories of the past. Of all the great things I have gotten from the Rapids wrestling program, the greatest thing is the memories I have from it. So many times I find myself reflecting on my experiences as a Rapids wrestler and applying those lessons to my current life experiences. Being part of something so great is something that nobody can ever take away, and it is something that you can be proud of for the rest of your life.
