Get to know new Spartan freshman wrestler Colton Blaha
EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State wrestling will feature a newcomer periodically throughout the preseason in order to "Meet the Spartans" leading up to the 2020-21 season.
This week freshman Colton Blaha (Owosso, Michigan / Owosso High School) sat down with msuspartans.com to answer some questions.
1. Why did you choose to wrestle at Michigan State?
I chose to wrestle at MSU because I saw how much of a change in culture Coach Chandler was making to the program, and I saw who he had on the coaching staff, and I decided that I wanted to be a part of that.
2. What are you most excited about as you begin your Spartan wrestling career?
I am excited to begin competing and to watch my teammates compete. We have a lot of big goals throughout the next few years and I'm excited to see how far we will go.
3. When did you first start wrestling?
I started wrestling at the age of 10.
4. Favorite wrestling memory?
Either wrestling in the State Championship match, or becoming an All-American at Disney Duals.
5. What's your major at Michigan State and why?
I am undecided right now.
6. Who has taught you the most about wrestling growing up?
I have had plenty of amazing coaches who have taught me a great amount, but the two that have been around the longest and have taught me the most are Zeb Perrin and Ryan Clevenger.
7. What superhero power would you have if you could choose one?
Super speed.
8. Favorite meal?
Chocolate chip pancakes. I'm a breakfast food person.
9. Favorite TV show?
New Girl
10. Favorite thing to do besides wrestling?
Bonfires, camping, and boating with my family and friends.
