Collegian: Weight management keeps Lions healthy
by Jocelyn Syrstad
Collegian Staff Writer
The night before a match, Frank Molinaro would be in the sauna, frantically riding a bike to sweat off five or six pounds.
The redshirt sophomore, who wrestled at 141 pounds last season, would cut an average of 13-14 pounds every week. Once he got down to scratch weight, the pounds he had just lost would come back, and he’d repeat the strenuous procedure.
And it showed in his health, his mother said. A critical care nurse, Michele Molinaro saw her son come down with mono, strep that got into his blood, a virus that created ulcerations in his throat and a fever of 102 degrees.
