Alex Dieringer is heading back to the Midwest.
Dieringer, a four-time United States national team member, announced Tuesday on FloWrestling’s “The Bader Show” that he will move from Stillwater to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to join the Michigan Regional Training Center. The move comes after spending the past nine years in Stillwater, where he became a star at Oklahoma State with three NCAA individual championships and won the 2016 Dan Hodge Trophy.
Dieringer, a Port Washington, Wisconsin native, decided to make the move due to personal and wrestling related reasons. His girlfriend, Ella Sosenko, is from the Ann Arbor area and wants to go to graduate school for occupational therapy, which is available at the University of Michigan and not at OSU.
