| Kaidan stepped onto the wrestling mat for the first time at just 5 years old. From that moment on, wrestling became more than a sport; it became a part of who he is. Over the years, many have watched this young athlete grow through wins, losses, tears, and triumphs—each moment shaping him into the young man he is becoming. |
| |
| Throughout his career, Kaidan has earned numerous accomplishments, including an RMN Triple Crown Champion title, a two-division All-American at Rocky Mountain Nationals, and a Salt Lake Slam Champion, along with many other podium finishes at highly competitive tournaments. These achievements reflect not only his talent but also his commitment to continuous improvement and his willingness to challenge himself. Behind every medal are countless hours of practice, long weekends on the road, and a heart that never quits. |
| |
| This past year marked a major step forward in Kaidan’s development as he expanded his wrestling experience by competing in more dual team events. Traveling to elite competitions such as Virginia Beach and the Utah Christmas Clash, Kaidan embraced the team atmosphere, learned to battle for his teammates, and grew both as an athlete and a leader. |
| |
| What truly sets Kaidan apart isn’t just his success on the mat, but his character off it: his respect for coaches and opponents, his resilience in tough matches, and his passion for the sport. No matter the outcome, he shows up with heart, grit, and determination—a quality no trophy can measure. Kaidan continues to train hard, chase new goals, and represent his team (Fallon Outlaws), his small town, his sponsors, and his family with pride, grit, and heart. |
