    Lester, Holm, Smith cruise to finals in Greco-Roman

    LAS VEGAS -- Returning Greco-Roman World Team members Justin Lester, Jordan Holm and Robby Smith cruised to the finals of the U.S. Open with dominating quarterfinal victories.

    Lester, a two-time World bronze medalist, earned a 10-0 technical fall shutout over Alec Ortiz in the quarterfinals. Lester, in search of his sixth U.S. Open title, will now meet Pat Smith in a rematch of last year's U.S. Open finals. Smith, who wrestles for the Minnesota Storm, pinned second-seeded Kendrick Sanders in the semifinals.

    Holm, also a Minnesota Storm athlete, was unscored upon in his road to the finals. His finals opponent tonight is Jon Anderson. If Holm comes out on top tonight, it will be his fourth U.S. Open title.

    Robby Smith, who placed fifth at the World Championships in 2013, handled 2014 Junior World bronze medalist Adam Coon in the semifinals. He will now face Toby Erickson in the finals.
