Phaly Finds Balance at Morningside

Sophomore Devin Phaly was successful even before his attendance at Morningside. He is an accomplished wrestler himself with several top ten and top five finishes in high school. Intrigue by the acclaimed wrestling program brought Phaly to Morningside College. Since becoming a Mustang, Phaly has become an accomplished wrestler within the region.

Away from his success in wrestling, Phaly has found success in academics. He is excelling with his Advertising major and performing well with his minor in Spanish. He plans to use in major in the future to work for an advertising firm. A dream for Phaly in the future is to operate his own firm.

“If your good at something, it’s worth it” Phaly says of his college experience. He says it definitely is more time consuming to balance his school work and wrestling career, but he says he enjoys it. “When you’re graduated it’s good to look back and say you made something of your four years.”

Phaly is a Sergeant Bluff native and is never too far from family. When he wanders from sports and academics, he enjoys listening to music to relax. He has a wide range of listening material and claims Chris Brown is his favorite artist. Phaly also enjoys to travel with his most exciting destination in San Fransisco, California.

    The “success” frame is fine, Riley. The lead does need to be more concise. You’re either telling too much, or hinting at something that doesn’t get explained. I’m not seeing “intrigue.”

    The last graf takes you off focus a bit.
