NCWA Offers Opportunity to Continue Wrestlng
By Drew Brantley -
After Mark Feeley finished third at 152 pounds for Murray County in the Georgia High School Association’s 2006 Class 4A traditional state tournament, he pretty much had put his wrestling career behind him.
Then he enrolled at the University of Georgia, saw a chance to return to the mat and hasn’t left.
“Once I got on campus, I started seeing advertisements for club sports — they had one about wrestling,” Feeley said.
Now a graduate student in accounting, Feeley was in Dalton this weekend, where he joined dozens of wrestlers with similar stories from 20 college teams as they hit the wrestling mats for the National Collegiate Wrestling Association’s third National Duals tournament. This was the first year the two-day competition was held at the Northwest Georgia Trade and Convention Center.
