SPC Estrella Dorado

Freestyle Wrestling

Estrella’s quest to find a sport she liked was difficult. She first tried track and field, but her mother told her she wouldn’t watch her compete in a non-contact sport. So, in 2015, she tried a couple of mixed martial arts classes and has ever since grown to love wrestling. Estrella joined the Army to be a part of the World Class Athlete Program and for the security an Army career would provide for her Family. She is extremely grateful for this opportunity to serve her country and continue to pursue her sport. Her sister is a fellow Soldier-athlete in WCAP, and both wrestlers are working in tandem toward Olympic gold.
