Michele Weldon | March 31, 2010

In March 2010 Ellis Coleman, a 2009 OPRFHS graduate, won a bronze medal at the Junior International in Bulgaria as part of the USA National Greco-Roman team. The three-time Illinois state medalist talks in this interview about the impact Coach Powell has had on his life, this sport and his family. With an overall high school record of 166-9, or 95 percent wins, Ellis was a two-time national Greco-Roman champion. He now trains at the U.S.Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
