aiawrestling 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2013 We are just six days away from heading to Mongolia. Got a chance to travel to Akron, Ohio to see two members of this years team compete as well as 5 alumni. AIA Wrestling had a great day with Cole T. from University of Wisconsin reaching the quarterfinals at Heavyweight and Sean F. of Kentucky going 7-0 at Fila Cadet(17 and under) outscoring his opponents 71-0. Was great to see them not only compete hard, but honor the Lord in doing so. Both men are very humble quiet young men and I am excited to get to know them more next week! Our Alumni also did well. Nathan B. University of Iowa and Micah B. University of Penn, both reached the quarters at 96kg. Jesse S. of Air Force was a greco All-American and won 2 matches at freestyle. We had 3 other alumni winning matches that day as well. To read more about our trip: http://teamblogs.athletesinaction.org/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
