The Pingry School will host a wrestling clinic by three-time world champion Lee Kemp on April 21, 2011, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. in the Bristol Gym at the Martinsville Campus. The clinic is open to wrestlers ages six to 19.

Mr. Kemp is recognized as one of the greatest wrestlers in U.S. history. In addition to his numerous championships, which include three NCAA titles, he is a member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame (1989), University of Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame (1991), and Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame (2009).

Three years ago, Mr. Kemp coached the U.S.A. Olympic Wrestling Team, and he also coaches and mentors wrestlers of all ages and skill levels at the “Lee Kemp Academy of Wrestling” training facility in Lake Barrington, Ill.
