    Haight wins gold, USA claims Greco-Roman team title at Pan Ams

    BUENOS AIRES, Argentina -- In addition to this morning's two gold medal performances from the women's freestyle team, Cheney Haight added another gold medal for Team USA, winning the 82-kilogram division in Greco-Roman at the 2019 Pan American Championships in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

    In his finals bout, Haight took on 2018 Senior Pan American bronze medalist Carlos Espinoza Castro from Peru. Haight led 3-0 at the break, scoring on passivity and exposure. Espinoza went on to score the only point in the second period, but it was not enough. Haight took a 3-1 to claim his third overall Pan Am title. He also won golds in 2016 and 2017.

    Securing gold medals earlier in the day were Alex Hedrick at 55 kg and Julia Salata at 65 kg.

    The U.S. notched two silver medals in the finals session.
