The U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) has honored its 2003 Wrestling Male and Female Athletes of the Year, as well as its Wrestling Team of the Year.    The Female Athlete of the Year is 2003 World champion Kristie Marano (Colorado Springs, Colo./New York AC). Receiving the Male Athlete of the Year is 2002 World Freestyle silver medalist Kerry McCoy (Bethlehem, Pa./New York AC). The 2003 Wrestling Team of the Year is the Women's World Cup team. Marano previously won this award in 2000, while McCoy and the Women's World Cup team is receiving it for the first time.    Each year the USOC recognizes the top male, top female and top team as selected by their respective member organizations. The names of the athletes and teams are placed on voting ballots used to select the USOC SportsMan, SportsWoman and overall Team of the Year. Members of the USOC Board of Directors and Athletes Advisory Council, along with representatives of the national media, comprise the voting panel that selects the SportsMan, SportsWoman and Team of the Year.      Marano won her second career World title, capturing the 67 kg/158.5 lbs. division at the 2003 World Championships of Freestyle Wrestling in Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y. , Sept. 12-14. The win extended her U.S. record for most women's World medals to seven.     In the finals, she defeated Ewelina Pruszko of Poland, 7-1, helping the U.S. squad tie for first place with Japan for the team title. Over the three-day tournament, Marano recorded three pins and a 11-1 technical fall.    Marano claimed an individual gold medal at the Women's World Cup in Tokyo, Japan, in October, helping lead the USA to the team title in an upset of host Japan. She also claimed a gold medal at the Dave Schultz Memorial International in February. Marano won silver medals at two other major events, the Sunkist Kids International in October and the Manitoba Open in Canada in February.    She competed at 63 kg/138.75 pounds during the domestic season, earning a silver medal at the U.S. Nationals in Las Vegas, Nev. in April and the World Team Trials in Indianapolis, Ind. in June. To secure her spot on the U.S. team, she moved up to 67 kg/147.5 lbs. and won a Special Wrestle-off in Colorado Springs, Colo. in August.    McCoy, a 2000 Olymipan, won his first World medal of his career, capturing a silver medal at 120kg/264.5lbs. at the 2003 World Championships in New York, N.Y. He lost a 4-1 overtime match to Artur Taymazov of Uzbekistan in the finals.     In his four prior matches, McCoy recorded two  pins and outscored his other two opponents, 16-1. McCoy was one of two  U.S. men's wrestlers to win a medal at the World Championships, and his success helped the U.S. squad to place second in the team standings.    McCoy also won a gold medal at the Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in August, helping lead the U.S. freestyle team to the team title. McCoy won four matches in dominant fashion, including a pin over 1998 World Champion Alexis Rodriguez of Cuba. McCoy also scored another win over Rodriguez in the dual meet at the Titan Games in San Jose, Calif. in February.    Other international medals won by McCoy in 2003 were a silver medal at the Cup of Independence in Uzbekistan in March and a bronze medal at the World Cup in Boise, Idaho in April.    He continued his dominance of U.S. opponents, winning the U.S. Nationals in Las Vegas, Nev. in May and the World Team Trials in Indianapolis, Ind. in June.    The 2003 U.S. Women's Wrestling World  Cup Team claimed the team title at the Third Women's World  Cup  in  Tokyo, Japan, Oct. 11-12. With the meet going down to the final  match, the United States edged host Japan, 14-13, in the gold-medal match. Toccara Montgomery (Cleveland, Ohio/New York AC) scored a 5-3 decision over five-time World Champion Kyoko Hamaguchi to finish the upset win. U.S. women wrestlers won four of the seven bouts against Japan.    The victory over Japan in the World Cup could be considered one of the greatest achievements for Team USA in women's wrestling history. Both teams entered the  gold-medal  round with perfect 5-0 records.    Team USA captured all five of their previous matches. The team opened with a 28-0 win over Greece and an 18-9 victory over Canada. In the evening session on the first day, the United States beat two top teams, with a 19-9 win over Russia and a 16-12 victory over China. Their 23-3 win over Germany put the USA into the finals match against Japan.
