The Wyoming Wrestling Regional Training Center (WWRTC) made history this week after adding Alexis Porter to its roster.
Porter will become the first female resident of the WWRTC in its 11-year history. She is a 2020 Olympic hopeful.
“I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the WWRTC and work alongside (University of Wyoming Coach and WWRTC Director) Mark Branch and all of the UW wrestling staff,” says Porter, who hails from Clifton Park, N.Y. “It’s a special thing to have the support from people whose vision aligns with your own. I think this move is going to help me jump levels, and I can’t wait to continue working towards my goal of becoming a world and Olympic champion.”
Prior to the WWRTC, she attended McKendree University in Lebanon, Ill., and was a member of the women’s wrestling team from 2014-19. She was a team captain, a university national champion and a four-time Women’s Collegiate Wrestling Association All-America honoree.
