6th Annual Aztec Tigers High Desert Credit Union Summer Duals & Clinic
Dr. Nate McClain, a 1999 Aztec High graduate, 3x New Mexico State Champ, collegiate All American from Iowa Central and wrestled at Nebraska, was the featured clinician. He emphasized position while on the mat, wrestling at the next level and respect.
