MARYSVILLE, OH — RUDIS is proud to officially welcome Kylie Welker to Team RUDIS.
A four-time age-group World Medalist and two-time Senior World Team member, Kylie has already established herself as a dominant force in the world of wrestling. Her combination of technical precision and relentless aggression makes her a formidable opponent for those who choose to step across the line from her. Her ability to stay composed under pressure and work through anything in her way is not only admirable but a testament to her character as a wrestler.
Kylie now steps into a new chapter in her wrestling journey, one driven by purpose and backed by a team that believes in her relentless pursuit of greatness. As she continues to rise, RUDIS is proud to wrestle alongside her.
“Wrestling has always been more than just a sport to me, it’s a lifestyle. Wrestling has taught me so many valuable life lessons and character traits that I truly believe can't be taught in any other sports.”
Kylie’s drive for wrestling is not something that came overnight, but a ripple effect from years in the room.
“I originally started wrestling at the age of 4 because I was dragged along to my older brother's practices, but early on in my wrestling career, I found a passion for it. At age 7, I set the goal to become an Olympic champ. From then on, I have been falling in love with the journey and the community wrestling has given me.“
For Kylie, joining Team RUDIS was about support.
“Being on Team RUDIS is being part of a team that sees the bigger picture,” Kylie said. “It’s not just about wins and losses on the mat, RUDIS does an incredible job of telling the stories behind the athletes. They highlight who we are as people, what we’ve overcome, and the passion that drives us.”
At RUDIS, the athlete on the mat is just as important as the person off the mat. Kylie is both a world-class competitor and a passionate advocate for women’s wrestling. A shining light in the ever-growing world of wrestling as a whole, a force to be reckoned with, and a spirit ingrained in developing the sport.
“Kylie embodies the spirit of a true wrestler,” said Natalie Rohyans, Chief Brand Officer at RUDIS. “She leads with purpose and stays grounded through pressure. She’s exactly the kind of athlete we’re proud to stand behind.
RUDIS is honored to welcome Welker to the team. Her dedication, humility, and work ethic are a perfect fit.
Welker brings more than just achievements; she brings character.
Welcome to Team RUDIS, Kylie.
We are only getting started.
