Toni Copeland, the 18-year-old McDonough woman trying to become an Olympic wrestler, drowned Sunday with a friend while they were swimming in Lake Superior.

Copeland was staying at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Mich., while she trained for the 2008 Olympics.

She was pulled from the lake -- 150 feet from shore and in approximately 9 feet of water -- about 30 minutes after she was reported missing and a possible drowning victim, Marquette City Police said Sunday.

Our internet has been down until this instant, but this young woman was someone that Coach Ed and I knew personally and where crazy about. This has hit Coach Ed hard. He has always followed Toni. This is a huge loss for women's wrestling and her family.

We now have yet another special wrestling angel watching over us.

God Bless, Toni.

Coach Ed and Ms. Jenni
