Wrestling thrown to mat
CHAMPAIGN – Jacob Hey knows what it's like to absorb a body blow when it comes to wrestling.
He was a state champion during his days as a Dixon Duke back in the early 1990s. He wrestled for the Air Force Academy after that, and got so good at the sport that three times he advanced to the United States Olympic Trials.
He lost in the semifinals of those Trials, first in 2000 in Dallas; then in 2004 in Indianapolis; and finally in 2008 in Las Vegas.
