To old to begin wreslting?

Question
I am now a junior in high school, and wrestling season has already started. I was hoping to try out for the team next year as a senior at the age of 17. I'm also 5 foot 11 and about 125 pounds.I've been lifting weights for about two months now, but will senior year be to late to start wrestling.

Answer
It is never too late to start wrestling. I would say don't expect varsity but usually the lighter weights are the more searched for so maybe you can make varsity but then don't expect to win a lot. I would say keep lifting and working out as it will improve your wrestling skills when you get there. But no, never too late. You can take this to college if you want and improve your skills. If you are near the tri state area, I would recommend going to wrestling camp in the summer time. Leigh High Wrestling is the best camp around in Pennsylvania but any summer camp will do. Good luck.
