Dylan Parker is a multi-sport athlete and is currently in 6th grade. He is an honor roll student at Doral Academy, in Las Vegas, Nevada where he plays on the varsity football team, coached by Jason Adams. Being born 11 weeks premature and under 2lbs, Dylan was born a fighter. He never gives up, on or off the mat. His love of wrestling began at 6 years old at House of Centennial HOC, coached by Tyson Garamendi and Jose Sosa. He developed a strong foundation there.
During Covid we did extra training with Napoleon Aniciete, Alex Aniciete and Val Rauser, while they were doing small groups and privates out of their garage. This small group grew into a successful facility, and ATC is our current wrestling club. We would also like to thank coach Bob Gallardo and coach Antonio Jauregui. Dylan has had a lot of success wrestling at ATC(Aniciete Training Club) and would not be the wrestler he is today without these coaches. The last few months he has been strength training with Coach Brody and has accomplished all of his goals. He has developed great friendships with his teammates, who are more like family to us. When he isn’t wrestling he enjoys playing basketball, football, surfing and riding his dirt bike. Dylan dreams of wrestling in college, I believe he will accomplish anything he sets his mind to. We are so proud of him.
