Want to meet Michael Spencer? Just look for him on a wrestling mat near you -- he'll be the one with the smile, on or off the mat.

Late of Wiesbaden High in Germany, where he earned a silver medal at 145 pounds and helped the Warriors to their first DODDS-Europe title in two decades last February, Spencer, a sophomore, transferred to Zama in August and he's picked up right where he left off.

First, he earned team MVP honors for the Trojans football squad. Now, he's a robust 7-1 with one tournament gold medal and a sportsmanship award. Zama's program may be small, only five wrestlers, but they're competitive and Spencer is showing he's making the transition from folkstyle to freestyle and stands a good shot at a Far East Tournament gold medal in February on Okinawa.
