2023 Camp Grant Recipient: Titus Miranda

Titus Miranda received the camp grant after being selected by his coaches at Columbine High School.

Each year, the RBS&HF awards $250 grants to each of the schools where Coach Barron served as head coach—Fort Lupton, Heritage, and Columbine High Schools. This year, Columbine’s coaching staff chose Titus Miranda. Here’s what he had to say about receiving the grant.

"In all honesty, I never expected to get into wrestling until I got injured during football sophomore year, which is where I first discovered the wrestling room. That was one of the best things that could’ve ever happened to me. Wrestling really is one of the sports that just shifted my point of view on not just sports in general, but in life. It has that mentality of it being only on you. Yes, you’re still wrestling for a team, but man, if you lose a match, you can’t blame anyone but yourself, and that’s what I love about it. It shows the hard work and dedication you put in. It’s like a gladiator sport how I see it: it’s combat, it’s a fight, and that’s what makes me love it even more. The day I chose to join wrestling was the day when I honestly changed as a man because it was a challenge I was willing to accept."

Titus and his teammates will attend the Western State 10-day camp in Gunnison this summer.
