➡️“As part of our Commitment to Excellence, the Burkburnett Athletic Program is excited to announce the addition of a high school wrestling program for both boys and girls, beginning this fall.
We are excited to welcome Akira Mierez to Bulldog Nation as our Head Wrestling Coach. Coach Mierez brings tremendous knowledge, leadership, and passion to Burkburnett High School as we build this program from the ground up. Coach Mierez is already involved in ATTACK Camp this summer and looks forward to seeing his wrestling athletes there every day.
Wrestling will add an entirely new level of competition, discipline, and toughness to our athletic program as we continue to equip student-athletes with the tools to ATTACK every opportunity.
The future is bright, and Bulldog Nation is ready to hit the mat!” ⬅️ - Jody Littleton, Athletic Director
➡️“My vision is to build a wrestling program defined by discipline, accountability, and sustained excellence. Through an athlete-centered, high-pressure environment, I aim to develop competitors who embrace challenges, lead with integrity, and perform at a championship standard in the classroom, on the mat, and in the community. Success will be measured not only by postseason results, but by the character and resilience of the student-athletes we develop, and the impact we can have on our community.
This team will represent our commitment to establishing a program that sets the standard, not just the goal. I am more than excited to bring this program to the city of Burkburnett, and to see the great things this program and these students will achieve!” ⬅️
- Head Wrestling Coach, Akira Mierez
✅Additional details about the new Bulldog Wrestling program will be shared soon!
