SPC Alejandro Sancho
Greco-Roman Wrestling
SPC Alejandro Sancho has loved combative sports since he started judo at the age of six. He began wrestling at 15, and he says Greco-Roman became his favorite “because I could throw people on their heads.” After a Stellar High School career that included a Junior National Championship and World Team Membership, he committed to Northern Michigan University, where he specialized in Greco-Roman. At the senior level, he has been on multiple U.S. World Teams and was a 2020 U.S. Olympian.
The Army has changed my perspective in the world and has made me more disciplined/ hard working in my daily life.
