We remember 1st Lt. Billy Burk Combs. A Tulsa native, Michigan team captain and 2x NCAA All-American, Combs was killed on Feb. 19, 1945, during the assault wave on Iwo Jima. #MemorialDay 🇺🇸
.@sarhilde exemplifies how wrestlers can blend focus/dedication with joy/fun to achieve at the highest level. An incredible role model for all wrestlers. One of the most positive people I know, and I’m thrilled to see her hard work rewarded with Olympic gold!
DYK? Michigan is the first school to send five different wrestlers to a single Olympic Games and just the sixth to have a rep on both the U.S. freestyle and Greco teams in the same year.
