Athletes in Action (AIA) Wrestling will be taking a team of high school and college aged wrestlers to Mongolia June 1st to June 18th, to compete in an international tournament featuring clubs from Mongolia, China, and Russia. While there we will also participate in a week long multi-national training camp, and have various ministry opportunities. One of the teams we are bringing from Russia is from the Republic of Tuva, and if you watched the Beat the Streets, Opan Sat that wrestled Logan Stieber is Tuvan.
John Peterson, AIA Staff and 72’Silver and 76’Gold medalist, will be coaching the team. Stephen Barrett, AIA Staff and 77’National Champion for Oklahoma State, has lived in Mongolia the last 5 years and will be organizing the tournament, training camp, and ministry opportunities while we are there. Our team features 16 wrestlers from 9 States and includes: College division 2 national champion, College Division 2 national qualifier, College Division 1 national qualifier, many state championships, and multiple state placers.
