7/30/09: Kratos Wrestlers Earn Advanced Education Credits at State College
Ten Kratos wrestlers earned 12 hours of advanced education credits this past week while attending the Chertow Wrestling Camp at State College, PA. Chertow camp's marquee event brought over 300 wrestlers together from across the east coast to participate in what has become known as one of the best wrestling camps in the nation. Our Kratos wrestlers received training from a faculty of over 30 well-respected clinicians to include several NCAA All Americans, two former olympians, and many active college coaches and wrestlers. The intensity of wrestling was nicely balanced with downtime excursions to the Penn State campus and pool side relaxation.
Our wrestlers received praise from several of the coaches to include Ken himself as they noticed the intensity and focus our our Kratos kids. Way to go guys.
