On the evening of July 22, 2025, 16-year-old August Soto, a talented wrestler and student at Broomfield High School in Northglenn, Colorado, was seriously injured in a devastating head-on crash. His friend was driving him home from a day of work in the mountains when their car crossed partially into oncoming traffic on CO-93. At approximately 5:30 p.m., their vehicle collided head-on with an SUV. August sustained severe head trauma and has remained in the hospital, fighting with courage and determination (Source: https://ground.news/article/broomfield-high-student-suffers-traumatic-brain-injury-after-head-to-head-crash-on-colo-93).

August isn’t just an athlete—he’s a fisherman, golfer, and devoted big brother to four siblings. His intelligence, kindness, and unshakeable drive make him deeply loved within his community, whether on the wrestling mat, the water, or just spending time with family and friends (Source: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-august-sotos-road-to-recovery).
