Williams won the world team title in free-style wrestling at 185-pounds and advanced to the World Championships after defeating Andy Hrovat in the best of three series. Williams lost the first match against Hrovat in overtime then came back to win the final two matches and punched the former Olympian's ticket to his fifth World Championships appearance.
Dantzler earned a place on his fifth U.S. World Team by taking down Keith Sieracki in a two-match sweep in Greco-Roman style wrestling at 163-pounds. The victory marks Dantzler's third consecutive U.S. World Team Trials Championship and fifth of the last six years.
Williams and Dantzler will next compete in Antalya, Turkey on September 7-9 at the World Wrestling Games hosted by the international wrestling federation (FILA).
