    Luvsandorj wins Mongolian World Team Trials

    Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia -- The Citadel's Turtogtokh Luvsandorj went 4-1 en route to capturing the Mongolian World Team Trials last week.

    The reigning Southern Conference Wrestler of the Year will be attempting to represent his home country at the World Championships in Turkey in September. Luvsandorj (Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia) will be bumping up to wrestling at 174 pounds in the upcoming season and is not guaranteed a spot on the national team despite winning the trials.

    Unlike the American World Team Trials, winning the Mongolian tournament does not automatically earn you a spot on the national team as team officials they will now begin deliberations about who they think is the best representative for the country.

    Luvsandorj is coming off a stellar sophomore season at The Citadel in which he went 38-10 and competed at the NCAA Championships for the second consecutive year. He was one win short of tying the single season school record for most victories and became the highest ranked wrestler in school history this season when he came in ranked in the top-10 of all four major wrestling polls in early February.
