    TRNAVA, Slovakia -- The USA Junior men's freestyle team finished Saturday night's session with two silver and two bronze medals in Trnava, Slovakia.

    Claiming silver medals were Aaron Brooks at 79 kilograms and Zach Elam at 97 kilograms.

    2017 Cadet world champion Brooks had a back-and-forth battle with Hayato Ishiguro, who was third at the Japanese Senior World Trials. The bout ended with 21 points on the board and an 11-10 win for Ishiguro.

    Brooks scored first with a takedown, but Ishiguro responded quickly with a takedown and gut wrench. At the break, Brooks led on criteria, 4-4. The second period saw points flying, which included three takedowns and exposure.

    With only 10 seconds remaining, Brooks held a 10-9 advantage. Ishiguro was in on a shot and came out the back door, standing and put Brooks down for two on exposure.
