Five Miami wrestlers will compete in the Class 4A Oklahoma High School Wrestling Championships, which begin today at State Fair Arena in Oklahoma City.
“These kids are the hardest working group I’ve had,” said Miami head coach Mark Malcom. “Now it’s time for them to go out there and take their place in history.”
