Little Rock scores big off the mat
Since it was a quiet week for the Trojans and Pac-12 wrestling, Little Rock decided to better themselves and the community. First, the Little Rock wrestlers became CPR certified thanks to American Heart Arkansas.
Second, the Trojans decided to give back to the community. For the fourth consecutive year, the Little Rock program did a ham sale and donated over 200 hams to local families in need. Not only did they donate the hams, but they also delivered them to each family in 14 different neighborhoods throughout the Little Rock area.
