Kade is a
talented kid with drive that has taken him a long way in
his wrestling career.
He won a third state title as a junior, dismantling
Viewmont's Josh Smoot in the finals with a decisive 7-0
decision, but the real match for him was the one leading
to the finals, where he beat the talented Derek Malan of
Weber 3-1. (That loss was one of only two Malan
suffered during the season.) This summer, he was one
of only five wrestlers to win the championship in both
freestyle and Greco-Roman at the USA Wrestling Junior
Western Regional Championships, and finished with a bronze
at USA Wrestling Junior National Championships in
Greco-Roman out in Fargo. As a sophomore, he won a
state title by beating
Davis' Zak Baker in the finals with a 5-1 decision.
This came after beating Fremont's Trae Bennet and
Brighton's Connor Meadows, both with sound decisions.
He finished third in Greco-Roman at the FILA Cadet
Nationals in 2008, as well as a sixth-place
finish in Greco at the Junior Western Regionals in Las
Vegas. (He won that tournament in 2007.) He
came out on top of the 2008 Rocky Mountain Rumble, beating
Wasatch's Trevor Sweat in the finals. He won a state
title as a freshman, beating Weber's Bracken Nipko in the
finals, 3-2, after beating Viewmont's Mike Winger 7-2 (who
was the one who put Alta's Carson Kuhn into the
consolation bracket). In 2006, he was the runner-up in
Greco-Roman at the USA Wrestling Cadet National
Championships in Fargo. He is rock solid and has the
mileage on the mat to prove it, even including two
junior-high state championships, including in 2004, where
he placed ahead of names like Fremont's Matthew Finger,
Box Elder's Koleton Hardy and Payson's Brock Brown.
