Ohio State wrestling coach Russ Hellickson is used to keeping the athletes on his team in line, which is no small feat in itself. Wednesday afternoon, Hellickson faced the monumental task of supervising over 200 teenage wrestlers at French Field House during the second week of his 12th annual Buckeye Wrestling Camps.”We’ll have well over 1,000 kids attend over the four weeks,” Hellickson said. “There’s kids here from 20 different states. But they’re all very well-behaved, a really good group. They’re usually too tired when they’re done wrestling to get into any trouble,” he said.Hellickson and his camp counselors, area high school coaches and current and former OSU wrestlers, keep their campers on a tight schedule during each of the six-day sessions. Each day consists of three two hour instruction and competition periods, with running, weight lifting, meals and showers before and after. Hellickson said about 90 percent of the campers stay in the stadium dorm while the rest commute. Hellickson, a two-time Olympian and silver medalist at the 1976 games, conducts seven different camps every June and July. Wednesday’s camp featured instruction on Olympic-style wrestling, take downs, and intensive competition.”The take down sessions are really popular,” said counselor Rex Holman, a former OSU wrestler who won a 1993 NCAA national title at the 190 pound class. “That’s what the kids want to learn. But every part of the camp is great, a good opportunity for these kids to get some good instruction and get better at their sport.”Jeff Fisher, a camper who will be a senior at Hamilton Township High School, said the camp is helpful in preparing for the upcoming season.”It’s really helped me with my take downs,” Fisher said. “They do a good job with instruction in technique. I’d like to have more matches, though. The competition is what’s the most fun.” John Gramuglia, a counselor who is also head wrestling coach at Wadsworth High School, said campers have plenty of opportunities for competition.”The kids will get up to 20 matches over the course of the week,” he said. “I brought 18 guys from Wadsworth here and they’re getting some good competition and great instruction from guys who have won national championships.”
