Loomis Alexander is a Wrestler Focused on Titles and a Future in Engineering
Loomis Alexander’s record speaks for itself on the mat: a dominant 119-19 career mark.
Wrestling is more than just victories for the Greybull/Riverside star; it’s the process that has molded his personality and his destiny.
What the grind of the sport has done for my mentality. Without the sport, I know I would be a completely different person. It’s put a sense of work ethic into me that I think is hard to find elsewhere because it’s very demanding both physically and mentally.

Alexander’s work ethic has driven him towards his final high school goals.
He plans to win a Ron Thon Memorial Tournament title and excelled at the national competition in Virginia Beach. His ultimate ambition is to wrestle in college and compete for a national title.
Meanwhile, his vision is equally clear off the mat.
He plans to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a mission to own a business designing products that increase efficiency for tradespeople, farmers, ranchers, and the oil industry.
Family is the most important part of my life, so the goal is to benefit the future generations as much as possible, because that’s been the goal of every important man in my family for four generations.

Alexander credits his success to relentless preparation and key mentors.
After a major jump on the state podium last season, he points to sheer repetition. He spent two summers training at an intensive 28-day camp in Missouri, logging up to six hours of mat time daily.
He praised the Greybull/Riverside program under Coach Mark Sanford and former coach Rob Nuttal. Their biggest factor that makes them tough is their condition, and they preach that we win in the third period.
His advice to younger wrestlers is to wrestle through positions, make them fight tooth and nail for every advantage.
