ANN ARBOR -- Michigan first-year head wrestling coach Sean Bormet added a new component to the Wolverines' youth camp this week.

About 50 campers, ages 7 to 11, squared off against Michigan heavyweight wrestler Adam Coon in a game of tug-of-war on Tuesday inside the Bahna Wrestling Center.

The campers pulled their way to a quick victory, throwing their hands up in celebration afterward. They then surrounded Coon and watched him do push-ups for losing. The video can be seen above.

Bormet, who spent the past seven years as an assistant under recently retired Joe McFarland, takes over a Michigan program that placed fourth at the NCAA Championships in March.
