Justus and Isaac Suddarth are identical twins who share not only a birthday, but a love for wrestling. Introduced to the sport at just 5 years old by their father, the twins first stepped onto the mat for the Noblesville Wrestling Club.
What started as a childhood activity along with baseball and football, wrestling quickly grew into a shared passion that was stronger than anything else.
Now sophomores at Noblesville High School, Justus wrestles 138 pounds and Isaac wrestles 144 pounds. They continue to push themselves in one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports. Through grueling practices, intense matches, and constant competition, the twins motivate each other to improve while strengthening an already unbreakable, brotherly bond.
“[We’re] always around each other and always with each other, you know, the only time we’re not with each other is when we’re sleeping. So, we just have a better connection as siblings than others,” said Isaac.
That constant closeness has bonded the brothers on and off the mat, making the twins inseparable even in the heat of competition. Whether celebrating a hard-earned win or recovering from a tough loss, the Suddarths remain each other’s strongest source of support.
“If one gets done with their match, they don’t want to go and get their runs in. They want to watch their brother wrestle, and they’re there to pick their brother up,” said Noblesville wrestling head coach Michael Weimer.
That shared commitment is mirrored in their goals for the season. Both twins are hoping to qualify for the state tournament, and to get there they train side by side, challenging one another on and off the mat.
“We push each other a lot; We flow well together. We’re like the same person, so we’re mirroring each other. It’s like a reflection, like wrestling yourself,” said Justus.
That unique connection, paired with a shared determination to improve, is seen by everyone around them, especially their coach. The twins’ personalities have made them stand out not only as athletes, but as teammates who contribute to the program’s culture.
“I love their positivity and I love their willingness to learn,” said Weimer. “They’re great kids. They become a great family, and they love this team, and they love being a part of it. So, I love coaching them.”
