"I knew that Wayne State has a great team and a great coach, Jerzy Radz. So, I was sure I was going to accomplish many achievements under his supervision.

It is a big challenge to compete for NCAA Division I, one of the world's most challenging competitions." (wsuathletics.com, 01 Jan 2022; Facebook profile, 10 Dec 2021; bvmsports.com, 17 Nov 2020) |
