Michigan University, Spenser Mango is making his Olympic debut and
he'll compete in the smallest Greco-Roman weight class, 55kg/121 lbs.
Mango made it the Olympics by knocking off Sam Hazewinkel two matches
to none in the best-of-three final at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials.
The Beijing Games will be Mango's first major international
tournament, as he has yet to compete at a senior world championships.
The 22-year-old won his first national title by defeating former
Worlds bronze medalist Lindsey Durlacher at the 2008 Nationals.
Mango's best previous Nationals finish was runner-up in 2006; he
placed 6th in 2005 and 5th in 2007. Also in 2006, he won bronze at the
2006 Junior World Championships.
but he is still a beast. lol
Step back = Two steps forward
IMHO
That being said, I was there and would highly encourage anyone who can make it there to be at the olympic trials in June, just fantastic wrestling.... not to mention that it is in Vegas!
