Valencia is unbeaten and unchallenged thus far at his new weight of 184 pounds. In preparation for the Olympic Trials in April, Valencia's been trying to get big. He knows he'll be undersized at the Olympic weight, but he'll tackle that when the time comes. Valencia will also look back on growing up with Monster Garage, picking weights with his brother Anthony, the relationship with former high school teammate Aaron Pico as well as his path 2020 and beyond. 7in7 NCAA Kickoff Party We’d like to let our listeners know about an NCAA Kickoff Party called “7 in 7” that will be co-hosted by Trackwrestling and JROB Intensive Wrestling Camps on Wednesday, March 18 at The Barn at Cowboy Jack's in Downtown Minneapolis.
