Four Marines from the All-Marine Wrestling Team paid a visit to Lafayette, Louisiana to provide a two-day wrestling clinic to junior and senior high school students, July 13-14, 2018. Maj. Will Kerrigan, Commanding Officer, Recruiting Station Baton Rouge, invited the team to the event as part of a continuous effort to influence and motivate high school-age wrestlers who embody the qualities of a Marine. "We're looking for someone like us," said Kerrigan. "And wrestlers? They're like us." (Video and music by Sgt. Nathaniel Cray)

Col David Fallon, commanding officer of the 9th Marine Corps Recruiting District, speaks about the relationship between the Marines and USA Wrestling. Men and Women wrestlers of all ages participated in the 2018 Marine Corps Open Wrestling Championship in Las Vegas April 25-29, 2018. The Marine Corps partnered with USA Wrestling to reach out to young and highly qualified wrestlers, who share many similar warrior traits with Marines, and teach them life-long lessons that they can carry on and off the mat. The partnership also allows Marines to explain the opportunities high school and collegiate athletes have in the Corps to key influencers and prospects.
