Athlos Life is inviting students to join its wrestling club this year. “Last year was a great success, and we are looking to continue growing opportunities for our wrestling youth this year. Unlike last year, there will be a small investment fee, to help cover costs for facility use, insurance, and the coaching staff’s time,” said Athlos director Dr. Justin Grant.
