Men and Women wrestlers of all ages participated in the 2018 Marine Corps Open Wrestling Championships in Las Vegas April 25-29. 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. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Staff Sgt.
