Iowa State University will host a long-running Olympic Development Camp March-May 15 in the school's wrestling room. The camp will be conducted by Iowa State head coach and 1992 U.S. Olympic Freestyle Team head coach Bobby Douglas.    In attendance at the camp will be 2003 World silver medalist and four-time NCAA champion Cael Sanderson, 2001 U.S. World Team member Chris Bono, 2004 Olympic hopefuls Zach Thompson, Dwight Hinson and many more.    This camp is open to all wrestlers who would like advanced freestyle training in their pursuit of earning a spot on the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team.    The 2004 U.S. Olympic Team Trials-Wrestling are set to be held in Indianapolis, Ind., May 21-23.    "Any clubs that are interested are more than welcome," Douglas said. "These camps are a great way to get some of the top wrestlers in the U.S. training together, which can only help the ultimate goal of bringing home more Olympic medals this summer."    Anyone interested in attending this camp should contact Zach Thompson at (515) 451-3303.
