Borkowski has wrestled all four years of high school and has steadily improved each year. He went 7-5 his freshman year in the 138 weight class, 23-17 as a sophomore in the 145 weight class, and 29-7 in his current weight class. Leading up to the station championships, he is 34-6 and ranked 6th in District One. Borkowski’s only losses this season came against a former state champion and other qualifiers.
