Peter Ming Commits to Stanford
Peter Ming – Elk Grove HS
After speaking to a number of colleges (Cal Poly, Columbia, West Point, Cornell and Stanford) Peter Ming of Elk Grove high school has committed to Stanford University. Coaches from every program were ethical and Peter’s second choice was Cal Poly. Cal Poly because of where they were going with their program, their great coaches and the excellent academic history. Ming is excited to wrestle for Stanford coaches; Ray Blake, Alex Tirapelle, Jason Borelli & Nate Engle.
A year ago Stanford was the Pac 12 Champions and have had All-Americans recently. Being in the same room with studs like Paul Fox, Nathan Traxler, Jaden Abas, Dawson Sihavong, Shane Griffin, Dalton Young and new 2021 recruits such as Dylan Ragusin and Kyle Rowan from Ohio is almost unbelievable.
“I really appreciate the opportunity and belief these coaches have in me…..I plan on giving everything I have for the team,” said Peter.
Peter was a Folkstyle Cadet All-American in 2018 and a Folkstyle Junior All-American in 2019. He made it to the blood round of the 2018 Cadet Fargo Nationals. He has been a California Folkstyle & Freestyle finalist. Peter was also a California High School State wrestling semi-finalist in 2019….ended up 6th at 195 lbs. He plans to study Global Economics & Finance while at Stanford. His goal this year is to win the California High School State Championship. In college the goal is to win two NCAA Championships at heavyweight.
He would like to thank coaches Pat Coffing, Ryan Shaw, Chris Brusato, Nick Jordan, Jay Tinker, David Klingsheim, Ryan Loder, Dan Frank, Roger Monroe, Blair Wheatley, William Calvert, Rick Martinez, Josh Jordan, Jerry Terrill and Marvin Adams for all their coaching and the belief they had in him. Peter also wanted to thank CalGrappler for posting positive info on him when he was just getting started. Kids start to work even harder when they get a little recognition.
