2009 Greco-Roman World Team Trials champions Harry Lester and Spenser Mango will be radio show guests Wednesday night.

Ohio native Harry Lester recently earned the right to participate in his fourth World Championship tournament by winning the 163-pound Greco-Roman division at the World Team Trials on May 30. Lester won bronze medals at the World Championships in 2006 and 2007 at 145.5 pounds. As a prep, Lester won four state championships for Cuyahoga Falls Valley Christian Academy in Ohio then went to Iowa State University for one year before moving on to Northern Michigan University to be a member of the U.S. Olympic Education Center. One of the most exciting and explosive wrestlers anywhere, Lester helped the United States win its first ever Greco-Roman team title at the 2007 World Championships.

2008 Olympian Spenser Mango won the 121-pound Greco-Roman division at the World Team Trials. He was two-time high school state champion in Missouri for Christian Brothers College High School before enrolling at the USOEC at Northern Michigan University. Mango was a World University champion in 2006. Only 22 years old, Mango has extensive international experience, competing at the senior level since 2004. Mango and Lester will both be seeking gold medals at the 2009 World Championships in Denmark in late September.

“On the Mat" can be heard live on the Internet at www.kcnzam.com or locally in Northeast Iowa each Wednesday from 5:00 - 6:00 PM Central time on AM 1650, The Fan. Feel free to e-mail radio@wrestlingmuseum.org with any questions or comments about the show.
