Swedish Wrestlers Outlast Team USA In Dual Meet
 MARQUETTE---Team USA faced Sweden in a dual Greco-Roman and women’s freestyle wrestling meet Wednesday night at the Northern Michigan University Superior Dome. Team Sweden topped Team USA 22 matches to seven. Team USA members consisted of cadet- and junior-age athletes from across the country who are visiting NMU for the Superior International Wrestling Camp. In past years, the competition exclusively featured Greco-Roman style wrestling, but this year’s meet included a women’s freestyle component for the first time. “This year, Sweden asked if they could send female wrestlers to train at our camp and we welcomed the opportunity to have them participate,” said NMU Olympic Training Site Head Coach Rob Herman. “Even though we focus on the Greco-Roman style of wrestling at the NMU-OTS, we encourage opportunities to promote the development of athletes in both Olympic styles of wrestling – freestyle and Greco.” The Superior International Wrestling Camp wraps up Saturday.
