ENTERPRISE | RICKEY STOKES NEWS
After winning four consecutive state wrestling titles, Enterprise High School senior Mackenzie Schultz is now focused on an even bigger goal: the 2028 Olympic Games.
Schultz says her drive comes from her passion for the sport, calling wrestling more of a lifestyle than a hobby. Her coach, Billy Landry, says her intense work ethic and leadership set her apart, adding that she has become like an assistant coach to younger athletes.
In addition to wrestling, Schultz trains in judo and jiu-jitsu. She has competed internationally in judo, earning third-place finishes at the Pan American Games, Cadet Worlds, and Junior Pan competitions. She competes under 170 pounds in judo and 152 pounds in wrestling.
Training seven days a week, Schultz balances home workouts with travel practices, all while preparing for her next major event — the IBJJF Pan Championship in March.
As she finishes her final year as a Wildcat, Schultz says she’s proud to represent Enterprise on the world stage and is determined to qualify for the 2028 Olympics in judo.
