Darian Cruz: Ready to Take on the World and Still Representing his Hometown

We're less than a month out from the start of the 2024 Olympic Games. It seemed like the right time for Pennsylvania District XI natives Ryan Holmes and Darian Cruz to get together and talk about Cruz's preparation for the Games. Cruz discusses going to high school, college, and training for the Olympics all in his hometown with Lehigh and the LVWC. The two also discuss Cruz's decision to wrestle international and represent Puerto Rico and the backlash that arose after he defeated Zane Richards to earn a spot in the Olympics. Cruz also gets into his long relationship with current Lehigh star Ryan Crookham and talks about how some of the on-mat adversity he's faced over the years has shaped him.
