All-Metro Wrestler of the Year

Sherlock received All-Metro Wrestler of the Year after a stellar 2023-2024 season with some of the following highlights:

• Second place in the 165-pound final at the 2024 National Preps tournament at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania

"He's a great kid, a great person," Holmes told the Sun. "He really cares about the sport. He does a great job of being positive and supporting the others. That speaks to him as a teammate. … That's why he was a captain as a junior."
