Mike Zadick, a Montana native started wrestling at the age of 5 under the watchful eye of his father Bob Zadick and his big brother Bill. Wrestling runs deep in the Zadick family. A four-time Montana high school state champion, Mike continued his wrestling pursuits at the University of Iowa. Following college, he pursued an international competitive career that included the U.S. National Team, World Team and Olympic Team. And while Mike brings a silver medal and the prestige of competing in the 2008 Olympic games, he'd tell you that's the least interesting thing about him. These days you can find Mike playing an active role in positively impacting and developing young wrestlers across the country. He's also planting his roots firmer in Augusta - the place where he and his brother Bill competed in their first wrestling match and where they spent most of their family time growing up - by creating Benchmark Wrestling - a future world-class wrestling facility and wellness center in the shadow of the Rocky Mountain Front.
