The Starr's

Mill wrestling team had a spectacular season this past

winter. The Panthers earned a sixth place finish and

produced several state champions and champion caliber

wrestlers with a very young team.

One of

those wrestlers was sophomore Christopher Coleman.

Coleman

finished the season ranked sixth at the AAA state meet.

His success during the season comes because he works hard

in the off season. During the spring and summer, Coleman

participates in U.S.A. Freestyle wrestling, which is

sponsored by a nonprofit organization.

During this

past season, Coleman won nine first place medals, two

second place medals, and one third place medal.

Now,

Coleman is gearing up for a national tournament in North

Dakota in July. He will be traveling with the Team

Georgia Cadet National Team. Coleman qualified for the

team in May. He placed first at the Team Georgia State

Championship Cadet Team Qualifier. Recently, he placed

third at the Southeastern Cadet Regional Tournament.

Coleman

will face some of the toughest competition in the nation

this summer. The experience will make him a better

wrestler and get him closer to the title of state

champion in AAA.
