The Lee High Invitational wresting tournament, which features 600 matches during two days, is big doings to the wrestlers, parents and coaches who come from far and wide.
A champion is crowned in each of 14 weight classes, and the tournament once attracted future Olympic gold medalist Kenny Monday, then an Oklahoma high school wrestler.
But no one travels farther than meet co-director Patrick O’Quinn. He lives in Baku, Azerbaijan, but flies home each January to run the tournament along with co-director Judy Collins.
