If you ask Frank Carrozza what wrestling did for him, he’d tell you, “It got me into college, gave me the drive not to quit when things got tough and provided me the opportunity to pass onto others what I have learned.”
Carrozza has been involved with the sport in some manner since seventh grade. He was a varsity wrestler for Island Trees High School under Hall of Fame Coach Ted Petersen. He learned the sport and the characteristics required to be a champion from Petersen and his more seasoned teammates. The importance of service and integrity was something that Coach Petersen instilled in all of his wrestlers, and Carrozza was no exception.
