Members of the Knights Wrestling Club, coached by George Smith, recently attended Ken Chertow’s Gold Medal Camp in State College, Pa. Chertow, a native of Huntington, is a two-time West Virginia state wrestling champion and a three-time NCAA All-American at Penn State, an NCAA champion, World Espoir Champion, PAN American Champion, and a 1988 Olympic Gold Medalist. During the four-day camp the wrestlers experienced intense training in technique, drilling, and live match situations. The wrestlers were also given instruction in nutrition and physical and mental preparation from Chertow and his staff of elite college coaches and wrestlers. Chertow, who was also a three-time NCAA Academic All-American, also emphasized the importance of being a scholar-athlete.
