University of Manitoba Wrestling Club Participates in the Olympic TrialsStudents Youcef Soufi, James Eyde-Rowne, Marc Lavallee and Wilson Le, along with professor Frank Deer, Faculty of Education, are all part of the university's wrestling club. They took part in 2010 London Olympic trials which ran through December 19 in Winnipeg. While none of the U of M participants made the cut, Soufi said the experience is what counts. "We are very happy to have had this opportunity," said Soufi. "The U of M Recreation Services offers everything we need for training." The Bison Recreation Services Student Club Program has provided an outlet for pursuing the wrestler’s dreams of vying for a spot on the Olympic team. "Wrestling is a super sport," said Soufi, "and anyone can do it. There is no template wrestler. Anyone can have success with wrestling."
