Great job with getting the program off to a fine start. I'm really proud of what you are doing not just with UTC, but for Tennessee wrestling and wrestling in the South. As a '87 graduate of Bradley Central High School, I've always followed Matt Keller's career. You've got him on a roll and after reading the article on USAW I'm confident he will get those March wins. Hopefully, I will finish up here in Iraq and return safely in time to root you and the team on at the Southern Conference Championships in Raliegh. Just like your team, my team also must peak here at the end of our tour in order to be successful. You are teaching more than technique, you are training those young men for life.

Sincerely,
Master Sergeant Rob Lusk, US Army, Camp Liberty, Iraq
