R-Fr. scores 9-0 win in third place bout
TALLINN, ESTONIA – Competing in his first international tournament, NC State R-Fr. Trent Hidlay brought home a bronze medal from the 2019 Junior World Championships in Estonia.
Competing in the medal match at 86 kg against Latvia's Ivars Samusonoks, Hidlay finished his tournament strong with a dominating 9-0 win. He scored a takedown in the first to go up 2-0 at the break, then added three more takedowns over the final three minutes to earn bronze.
At the Junior World Championships, Hidlay went 4-1 overall and outscored his foes 38-5.
Since 2017, the Wolfpack Wrestling Club has now brought home four medals at various World Championships. Former national champion Nick Gwiazdowski has won back-to-back bronze medals at the Senior World Championships in 2017 and 2018, while recent grad Sean Fausz earned silver last year at the U23 World Championships.
Gwiazdowski is up next for the Wolfpack RTC, as he will compete at the World Championships in September.
