Marine Capt. Nubari Kogbara presents J’den Cox the 92kg first place wrestling award during the Marine Corps 2018 USA Open Wrestling Championships at the South Point Arena in Las Vegas, April 29. The Marine Corps partnered with USA Wrestling to reach out to young and highly qualified wrestlers, who share many similar warrior traits with Marines, and teach them life-long lessons that they can carry on and off the mat. The partnership also allows Marines to explain the opportunities high school and collegiate athletes have in the Corps to key influencers and prospects. Cox, a 2016 World Olympic Qualifier Champion, won the U.S. Open Men’s Freestyle Finals for his weight class. Kogbara is a community engagement officer at the Marine Corps Recruiting Command.
