MARQUETTE–The United States Olympic Education Center women’s freestyle wrestling team will host a dual meet against Oklahoma City University on Friday, Dec. 7. The action begins at 5 p.m. in Vandament Arena at Northern Michigan University. The public is invited to attend free of charge.
Oklahoma City University is hoping to send 25 athletes to compete in the event. USOEC women’s freestyle coach Shannyn Gillespie would like to have his athletes compete in two or three different matches.
“Everyone who is healthy will get a chance,” Gillespie said. “Competing is a lot different than just practicing because you get to see the area’s in which the athletes are lacking.”
For those unable to attend the event, B2 Networks will provide live video
of the dual competition via the Internet for $6.
“This is a great opportunity for the community to see how hard we really work,” said Gillespie.
For more information, please contact the USOEC at 906-227-2888.
