RALEIGH – NC State wrestling alumnus Trent Hidlay is set to compete at 92kg for the United States at the 2025 Senior World Championships in Zagreb, Croatia, September 14 and 15.
Wolfpack wrestling's program standout, Trent Hidlay, is just the second member of the program to make the senior world team after Nick Gwiazdowski competed for the United States in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021.
Hidlay comes into the tournament as the No. 8 seed in his weight class, but based on head-to-head matchups, FloWrestling ranks him third in the world and also lists him as one of three favorites for the title based on past achievements and recent results.
Most recently, Hidlay claimed the gold medal at the Budapest Ranking series in July. Since February, he has claimed significant wins over Abubakr Abakarov, Josh Barr, Miriani Maisuradze, Eric Schultz, and Aeoden Sinclari.
