Who are the Olympic Wrestlers for Team USA?


     Can you name these wrestlers? The men and women pictured above are the 2012 Olympic representatives for Team USA.
     At The Wrestling Dojo in El Dorado Hills, CA our wrestlers have been given the assignment of going out and finding the names and weight classes of these wrestlers. The project will be to pick one of these wrestlers and complete a small group presentation. For those of you who don't already know who is representing who in each weight, here is the list. Now, are you able you match these names up with the wrestlers picture above? If not we have some research to complete!
     Learning the names and weight classes of these wrestlers will not automatically make us better wrestlers. However, these are the wrestlers we want to learn from, emulate, and maybe eventually beat in competition! Let's think and look beyond to the highest levels to learn from and aspire to be the best we can be on and off the mat!
