Arkansas Wrestling
Arkansas's first-ever Fargo Greco finalist. Now competing on the world stage — and he needs your support to get there.
BENTONVILLE, AR
The Wrestler
Zach Donalson is a 15-year-old freshman at Bentonville High School who has been wrestling since he was 5 years old. What started as a kid following his dad's footsteps has become a decade-long pursuit of excellence on the mat.
Training with Honey Badger Wrestling Club and Threestyle Wrestling in Northwest Arkansas, Zach has developed into one of the state's top wrestlers — earning a spot on seven USA Wrestling National Teams and becoming a Junior All-American.
In July 2025, Zach made history at the U.S. Marine Corps Junior Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota — becoming Arkansas's first-ever Greco-Roman finalist in the tournament's history. He's the sixth male wrestler from Arkansas to earn All-America honors.
"Everything just goes quiet when you go out on the mat. I just focus on that one guy in front of me."
The Mission
Zach has been invited to compete at the Tallinn Open in Estonia — one of Europe's premier international wrestling tournaments. This is a rare opportunity for a young Arkansas wrestler to test himself against top-level international competition.
Competing overseas builds experience that can't be replicated domestically. It means facing different styles, adapting to new environments, and representing not just himself — but Arkansas wrestling on the world stage.
