Former Wrestler, Denis Tallini. Turned Masters Track & Field Ranked Competitor

Former USL wrestler, Denis Tallini, 1972-74, currently ranked # 8 in the US (men’s 60-64 javelin), placed 2nd at the USA Track & Field Masters Championships held on July 19, 2014.

Denis is one of several former university athletes who continue to compete in athletic events for their age group. 

One of our outstanding HPE graduates and one of my former students, it is good to see that Denis has retained his competitive nature and performs at a high level, albeit a sport different than his collegiate sport of wrestling.
