The U.S. Olympic Team Trials for wrestling has selected Mark Grove of Fargo, N.D., as the first On the Mat Club member to receive the monthly "Six Pack" prize package.

Grove is an advocate and proud supporter of USA Wrestling.  A former wrestler himself, Grove now coaches with Tech Team Wrestling out of Fargo, N.D. and has two boys, ages 9 and 10 that have been wrestling for a number of years.

"We are big advocates of USA Wrestling," said Grove. "Our club does all the USA Wrestling events and we require each member to have a USA Wrestling card."

The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing are fast approaching, and wrestling fans from across the nation are making plans to attend the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Wrestling and Judo, set to take place in the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nev., June 13-15.
