Camp Lejeune Marines mentor high school wrestlers at ‘world’s largest’ tournament

Marine Corps wrestlers from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune attended the 49th U.S. Marine Corps Cadet and Junior National Championships at the FargoDome on the campus of North Dakota State University, July 12-19 to serve as ambassadors for the Marine Corps.

The national championships, often billed as the world’s largest wrestling tournament with well over 5,000 wrestlers ages 13-18, is like the Super Bowl of high school wrestling in the United States. It gives young wrestlers a chance to compete for a national title on the biggest stage in front of college coaches from across the nation.
