Spenser Mango (born July 6, 1986) is an American Greco-Roman wrestler. He has represented the United States in numerous international competitions[2] including the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.[3][4] He was the top-ranked American in his weight class (55 kg/121 lbs).[5] He qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics after winning at the U.S. Olympic Trials.[6] Mango lost the preliminary round against Azerbaijan's Rovshan Bayramov 0–3 without technical points scored. He was placed in the first repechage round, where he lost to Russia's Mingiyan Semenov without technical points again, thus preventing him from reaching his chance of achieving a medal.[1]
Mango attended Northern Michigan University[7] and is currently in the US Army World Class Athlete Program.[8]
