Aurora senior chooses wrestling over football
-
Aurora senior Aaron Jividen signed his letter of intent last week to wrestle for the Concordia Bulldogs. Joining him at the March 29 signing ceremony were, front from left: his mother Ronda Jividen and grandmother Theoramae Ortegren. Back row: Grandfather Darold Ortegren, acting Concordia wrestling coach Tyree Cox, and Aurora wrestling coaches Derek Keasling and Brandon Timm.
Aaron Jividen made it official last week, announcing his plans to continue his wrestling career as a Bulldog at Concordia University.
The Aurora senior recently wrapped up a stellar athletic career wearing Husky red, though he actually had a decision to make whether to pursue wrestling or football. Jividen was a two-time state medalist in wrestling, finishing as the heavyweight runner-up in Class B last month in Omaha, though he was also part of Aurora’s two-time state runner-up football teams and the state title team in 2018.
“For a while I was debating between football and wrestling,” Jividen said during a brief signing ceremony March 29 at the school. “This year I took some time to see which one I enjoyed doing better and I just like wrestling a whole lot more. It’s something I want to continue.”
