Tiger wrestler hold one-day clinic

Coach Franky James and his Campbellsville University wrestling team hosted a one-day clinic Saturday with about 50 middle and high school students in attendance.

"We're just teaching technique mostly," James said in-between coaching sessions with the entire group.
Kids from Louisville, Elizabethtown, eastern Kentucky and Ohio were on campus, according to James, to see what campus life is all about.

"Some of these kids are the top wrestlers in the state in their class."

James said the clinic, in addition to the obvious, allows the students to watch the college wrestlers work out, look over the campus and eat lunch.

"It gives us an opportunity to show what we have going on here, how the school is growing and how we run our program."

The clinic concluded with rankings matches for the CU wrestlers.
