Oliver, a redshirt freshman for the Cowboys, won his third-place freestyle match in the 60kg/132 lbs. division as he defeated Mongolia's Batchuluun Batmagnia, 2-1, 5-0. He finished the tourney with a 4-1 record, his lone loss coming in the semifinals to Aghahuseyn Mustafayev of Azerbaijan.
"It was get a medal or none at all. It was all or nothing. That was my gold-medal match," Oliver told USA Wrestling's Gary Abbott after winning the bronze medal. "I went out and worked my stuff, what I do best, my motion and getting off my attacks. That is what I lacked in the semifinals."
The Junior World Championships feature the world's best wrestlers who are 17-20 years old.
