Betts Training, Taking it All in at Olympics

With a few days left before his day in the spotlight, St. Michael Olympian Chas Betts is enjoying his time at the 2012 London Games.

St. Michael-Albertville grad Chas Betts, a part of the Knights' state championship wrestling team here and a state champion himself, is enjoying his moment in the Olympic spotlight thus far. 

Betts told USA Wrestling he's been training hard, but that he and some other members of the wrestling squad were going to get out earlier this week to see London and take in some of the other Olympic events. 

The Greco-Roman wrestler will take to the mats Monday, wrestling in the 84kg (185 pound) weight class.
