    Three past age-group world medalists highlight 2018 U23 Freestyle World Team

    AKRON, Ohio -- The U23 Freestyle World Team was determined Sunday afternoon, comprised of seven All-Americans as well as three past World Team members, all of who are also World medalists.

    After battling against his teammate in the quarterfinals and advancing to the finals off of an 11-0 technical fall, 2017 All-American Jack Mueller went 2-0 against Rayvon Foley. He regrouped after a first-round 8-6 decision to return for a first-period technical fall in the second round of the 57-kilogram finals to secure his spot on the U23 World Team.

    2016 Cadet silver medalist Vitali Arujau dominated his 60-kilogram best-of-three series against past World Team member Roman Bravo-Young, racking up two technical falls in under six minutes total, outscoring Bravo-Young 25-4.
