Christopher Ramos

2014 Scholarship Winner

Auburndale Senior High School

Wrestling & Weight Lifting

Polk State College

Christopher worked and trained diligently in wrestling and weightlifting leading up to his senior year. In a summer wrestling tournament, he developed what was thought to be a minor hip injury. After two weeks of much pain and no relief, he returned to the hospital to be diagnosed  with a broken back and bulging discs. His surgery and rehabilitation were successful, but he was never able to play high school sports again! A very disappointed Christopher devoted all his energies to coaching his peers and being team manager for his former teammates. He was awarded the highest Student Honor by his high school teachers and will be attending Polk State College this fall.
