| Dr. Michael Whitely Wins World Gold! |
Ironically, one of my pupils since April is a college professor. I mentioned this unlikely scenario in a previous post, but now this phase of his research has come to a close, and a good one at that. Although it wasn't feasible for me to make the trip to Belfast, Ireland with Dr. Michael Whitely for the World Police and Fire Championships, I was one of the first here in the US to find out that he took first place in Greco-Roman! Going into the tournament, Mike was nervous about all of the rule changes for freestyle and greco-roman, but he put together a great run by beating the wrestlers from Japan, Sweden, and Russia! I couldn't be more proud of him.
His local paper interviewed him a couple weeks ago regarding his research project, and then they photographed one of our training sessions in the John Carroll University wrestling room. You can read the article here:

Congrats Mike!
