Manhattan High wrestler Kendrick Rivera signed his letter of intent to wrestle for Baker University on Thursday morning at MHS. Baker is one of 50 NAIA schools nationwide with a wrestling program.
Rivera chose Baker over athletic and academic scholarship offers from Hastings College (Nebraska), Lyons College (Arkansas) and Simpson College (Iowa).
Last season, he was a state qualifier at 29-15 during his first varsity season with the Indians. He helped lead Manhattan to a 6th place finish at state.
The high school wrestling season starts on Monday, November 17th for Rivera and Manhattan High.
