Lori May began running local tournaments in the mid 1980's and became a pairings official with USA Wrestling which led to a strong working relationship with the late Bob Dellinger, a pairings master for USA Wrestling who also spent time on the microphone announcing at Oklahoma State University wrestling matches. Dellinger encouraged May to fill in for him as an announcer at a youth wrestling tournament in Warrensburg, Mo. Soon after,he introduced her to the man who would become a partner in announcing at tournaments around the country, Don Blasingame. Together the two served for years as the voices of the Oklahoma State High School Championships. May continues to volunteer her voice at tournaments around the country, including the U.S. Open in Las Vegas, Cadet Nationals, Junior Nationals, the Junior Duals, the Roller Wrestling Tournaments, the Oklahoma High School Dual State Championships, the Oklahoma High School State Championships, the Reno Tournament of Champions, North Eastern A&M (NEO) Junior College in Miami, Okla., and various high school matches.
