CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — Wrestlers from across the military will compete at a North Carolina Marine base to determine which service is king on the mats.
The 2010 Armed Forces Wrestling Championships starts on Saturday at Camp Lejeune and runs through the weekend. The tournament will feature both Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling. Wrestlers from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines will be competing in seven different weight classes for individual gold and silver medals.
Competitors also earn points for their efforts. The Army dominated last year’s tournament held at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho.
