A two-time Pac-12 champion, Cohl Schultz made his second consecutive U.S. Senior World Team earlier this month. He has a single goal in mind while training this summer for the World Wrestling Championships
Within the span of a year, Cohl Schultz suffered three defeats that he hopes can produce his ultimate dream: Olympic gold in Paris in 2024.
“At this point in time, I’ve dang near lost on every big stage there is,” Schultz reflected. “Which is always a bummer, and I hate losing, and of course it’d be great if I could win every single one of them. But it’s not how it’s written up for me, and that’s all right. It’s definitely motivation, and I just keep on learning and keep on growing as a wrestler and enjoying the experiences that I’m going through.
“Knowing Cohlton, he’s not going for anything other than to be world champion,” ASU coach Zeke Jones said. “And we’re two years out on the Olympic games, we’re coming up on those shortly, and ultimately that’s where he’s headed: to be the Olympic champion. However, this is part of the path to get there. It didn’t sit well last year when he didn’t get what he was looking for .”
With Stevenson going pro and headed to the WWE — he has a COVID redshirt year remaining with the Gophers, but it appears unlikely he’ll return to college — Schultz will be the favorite to win the Division I heavyweight title in 2023 as a redshirt sophomore.
