First To Fight’ With All-Marine Head Coach Jason Loukides
This latest generation of the All-Marine Wrestling Team has begun to hit its stride, boasting six US National Team members, four Final X/World Team Trials finalists, and most importantly, two World Team members. And though head coach Jason Loukides would and will never take credit for these successes, it doesn’t make his impact any less profound.
Which is where we kick it off with Loukides in the June report. The performances of first-time World Teamers Ray Bunker (72 kg) and John Stefanowicz(82 kg) are prominently featured, and then the discussion points back to Daniel Miller (97 kg), who fell in a memorable series to Lucas Sheridan(Army/WCAP) last month in Raleigh. Of course, Final X runner-ups Xavier Johnson (63 kg) and Jamel Johnson (67 kg) are also discussed, along with an improved Vaughn Monreal-Berner (87 kg). Rest of the story and podcast at
